Hi, 

I am having bandwidth problems when playing my recordings in
mythfrontend. Mythfrontend and mythbackend are running on different
machines, connected via a wireless LAN (54 mbit). During playback my
wireless connection is completely filled by mythfrontend downloading at
21 mbit/s. Playback is obviously not really smooth, but otherwise OK.
Recordings are from a DVB-T tuner and have a bitrate of about 2.5
mbit/s. In case it is relevant, the DVB-T tuner has 3 virtual tuners.


XBMC is able to to play the recordings without any problems using the
build-in myth:// protocol. Download is about 2.5 mbit/s as expected. 


Anybody any idea what is going on?
