<div dir="ltr">I have an SD frontend that is connected in just the next room over, and
it works most of the time, but I wouldn't say it was completely
reliable. I have
been playing around with MythTV Player, XBMC, and win32 Mythfrontend. I
have found that all of them struggle to stream (lots of pauses,
rebuffering) a single SD recording when streaming from the backend
using the myth protocol. However, I can playback a show with zero
problems when I use SMB or the UPnP server. What is wrong with the myth
protocol or with the clients that causes it to be so much less
efficient? After all of my trouble I get the cleanest picture and most reliable playback using UPnP with Windows Media Player. That just seems wrong to me.<br></div>
