By "see a few recordings" do you mean you watched an entire show, or just a few minutes of several different recordings? I presume you've tried restarting mvpmc via the green button on the remote, and you've found that doesn't temporarily resolve the problem? How many recording do you have in your MythTV database? > Sometimes I cant watch recordings at all, and sometimes, I see a > few stuttering seconds and the it stops. The first thing that comes to mind is that the bitrate of the recordings is too high. I asked earlier what you were using for tuner hardware. A related question is what settings are you using in your MythTV recording profile. There's a page on the mvpmc wiki that has a chart of recording settings that work best with mvpmc. Though usually it can handle the default settings you get with MythTV out of the box. Try testing the throughput of your network by browsing to a MythTV recording in mvpmc, pressing the menu button, selecting throughput test, and letting it run for 30 seconds or so. Is your MVP wired or wireless? What networking hardware stands between your MVP and your MythTV server? > And on the MVP; > error in subpicture > error in subpicture > request block failed Not error messages I'm familiar with, but perhaps it could also mean that mvpmc doesn't like the video format. For example, I seem to recall reading that the MPEG transmission streams provided by digital tuners sometimes need to be cleaned up before they can be consumed by mvpmc. (In addition to having the audio transcoded, which has been discussed here numerous times.) > I've noticed that I'm running quite old MythTV (0.21-fixes); > mythbackend version: 0.21.20080304-1 www.mythtv.org > > Can it have something to do with the problem? Unlikely. I had been running a similar version, as packaged for Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) until just recently when I switched to the weekly builds of the 0.21-fixes branch as provided by Mythbuntu. I haven't noticed any differences. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Mvpmc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mvpmc-users mvpmc wiki: http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/
