I personally would lean more towards a bandwidth issue rather than codec<br>
but I can't say for sure. I don't know enough about the insides to<br>
really help but I think I would look in the direction of checking your<br>
network connections. I know that, for instance, if I have a DivX video<br>
on my backend server and playing to a frontend using storage groups it<br>
rarely would play correctly -- lots of skipping and jumping. Those same<br>
video files seem to play perfectly if I'm using an NFS share to the same<br>
machine and using iptraf showed that the consumption of bandwidth was<br>
astronomically larger with the storage groups -- but this was only one<br>
type of video file and all the others worked just fine. It might be<br>
worth installing iptraf or some other program to give you an<br>
understanding of what bandwidth is being consumed.<br><br></blockquote><div><br>Thanks for the suggestion. These files are shared via NFS, and HD .mp4s play fine, but smaller, low-rez .avi files are the ones that fail. The frontends are wired (vs. wireless) and had no bandwidth issues with .24.<br>
