Hi
I installed mythfrontend on a (new) macbook.
Jerkeyness on steroids 1/3 second pause every 1-2 seconds, Totally unwatchable.
I tried youtube on the same machine and it is smooth.
I tried 8player on my wife’s ipad and without transcoding it plays (uPnP) smoothly.
I tried various (bubbleUpnp, mythplayer, others) on my galaxy tab s and the results are good..bad.

[The macbook has a single USBC port only, so trying wired is a big deal]

I’ll setup and try some linux wireless frontends.
The modem is a TP-LINK which claims (11) a b g n
The macbook claims b g n.
My speed tests show 500k bytes/sec at 5m and 160k at 20m.

[for the ignorant like me 11n is 300M bits/sec]
Something does not compute, and I am ignorant, can anyone caste opinions please.
Thanks
James
