Hello Marc,
This problem is stated earlier and I think the solution was more to
look at the VLC server settings.
As for me I'm using VLC 0.8.6 and MVP pre-0.33 because only this
combination seemed to support filenames with spaces and non alphabetic
characters, but this is besides the point. I believe the answer of the
coder to the question "why does VLC transcode so choppy" was something
along the lines of "make sure your keyframe figure in the starting
command of the VLC telnet daemon is good". You can fiddle around with
the starting options of the telnet daemon easily enough.
Try that and maybe results will be good?

Hello --
I've been using the VLC streaming feature on and off during last year.
Most videos my old server was not able to transcode in real time, so
with only the lowest video settings I was able to watch some stuff. I
have been using mvpmc as Mythfrontend successfully - over
100MBit-Ethernet as well as 85MBit-Powerline adaptors.
I have no more Mythtv, but a newer vlc box, based on a recent Core Duo
Intel processor. I've noticed VLC streaming is unusable, although the
server seems to be very relax at about 10%. Network does not seem to be
an issue either, because I can watch multiple concurrent movies via it.
It may not be at the advertised 85Mbps, but it seems plenty fast.
Mvpmc clearly cannot buffer enough video to make it run smooth, when
showing buffers at the OSD there's hardly anything visible. It says the
stream is at around 1.5-2 Mbps
When telnetting into the mvpmc-Box and running top I noticed that the
mvpmc task seems very processor hungry, hanging at 60-70% all the
time.
I tried mvpmc 0.3.3 and 0.3.4, the server runs debian etch.
What can I try?
Thanks,
Marc
