ninja650 0 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I am trying to stream from outside my network and once I start playback it starts/stops continuously. I think if I was able to increase buffer somehow it would eliminate this problem. I have 15megs of upload so that isn't the issue. I'm trying to playback saved video on server and also live video from HD homerun prime via ServerWMC. I've tried as slow as a 1mbps stream and still same issue. Video plays back fine on local network. Also another issue I wish would be fixed.. When I try to play back live tv via IOS safari or chrome it won't start playing on first attempt. I have to it stop and play 3 times usually for it work. It would be nice if Live TV was available on IOS app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37100 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 there already is a decent buffer. i would try further decreasing the bitrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja650 0 Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Well obviously it's not enough over WAN. I can't go much lower than 1meg. Quality is bad. I have plenty of bandwidth. It's just the jitter and latency vs LAN. The buffer needs to be increased or something else is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14925 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Maybe it is the receiving end connection? Lots and lots of people are using the remote streaming successfully so it is likely environmental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaefurr 1337 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 For comparison, my 5MB upload can handle up to 2-3 MB/s or so without stuttering over WAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja650 0 Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 So after running some tests again. It appears Live TV (serverwmc) is cutting out more than local storage playback. Works fine over LAN. Possible it isn't buffering live tv as much? It would be nice to have some control over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent 91 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) Not a transcoding / CPU issue? Edit; Nevermind, fine over LAN so can't be this unless you are using different clients over lan than you are over wan.

ninja650 0 Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 How would it be if works fine on LAN? CPU usage is around 30% while transcoding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninja650 0 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Finally figured out issue! I unchecked Stream channels using DLNA to MediaBrowser in ServerWMC Plays smooth now without stopping after a few seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
