Unable to record or watch tv

Hi There. Over the last few days, I have been unable to watch live tv or record. My system consists of:

 

Windows 7 Home Premium

Core i5-2500k

8 gb ram

GTX-970

HDHR Prime with CC

Mostly all gigabit hardwired LAN

Roku app

 

Most of the recordings start, but end fairly soon (even though the HDHR shows a tuner in use for the entire time of the show). File size on disk is typically anywhere between a few hundred kilobytes, and sometimes as many as a few hundred megabytes for an HD show. Even using different web browsers with all ad and pop-up blockers disabled and firewalls turned off, it's still not working. It will play a live tv show for anywhere between a few seconds and several minutes, then it just freezes. It may or may not restart. It was working fine up until about a week ago, then starting doing it on just a show or two and ahs gotten worse since then. I have attached my log files and hoping someone spots whatever I have done wrong.

That ffmpeg log indicates it is delivering content way too slow to be watchable and getting slower.

 

The fact that the video is stream copying would imply that the slow-down is coming from the source as opposed to any processing taking too long.

hi @@KevinLC, can you please try restarting emby server, and then testing using our online web app at :

Please try playing live tv with that. Thanks !

Thanks. ERB pointed out what I needed to know, being "too slow". Traced it down to a bad network cable from the switch to the server. I was only getting 100 mb connection speed. Things ran pretty smooth last night. Thanks again.
