Hi,
this has been asked a few times but without any real answer, so i
thought i'd spell out my situation.
I have my mythbackend (which also runs a front end) running in my living
room using a g wireless network card to a router.
My laptop is also on a wireless network card to the same router.
When i try to watch tv or play pre-recorded tv the playback pauses every
10 seconds or so, like the buffer runs out too early.
So question 1, is this the problem, how do i find out
2. is there any way to increase the buffer size. although thinking about
it that may not work will just wait longer to pause
also i run windows on the same laptop. I use Mythtvplayer (a windows
program that connects to my frontend and lets me play pre-recorded tv
shows). It streams without a problem. To my understanding it connects
the same way but only allows me to play prerecorded tv.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance
Steve
