HELP: HD movies stuttering when playing from ReadyNAS Pro ??
Hello, So sad, I am getting really frustrated. :? I purchased a new high performance HTPC with Windows7 (for running Media Center), PowerDVD10 and a ReadyNAS Pro to watch and archive my HD movie...
OK, finally worked it out, unfortunatly the problem is still there.
I eliminated the switch by setting up the direct connection. SPHARDY, thank you very much for pointing to the instructions...
Even when directly connected, the HD video stutters...but not when played from local harddrive. The HTPC is an Intel i5, 8GB memory running 64bit W7 on a brand new ASUS board, which includes a Realtek Gbit NIC. It should be able to play HD movies like hell...
I am somewhat frustrated. HD movies playing fine from local drives, but stuttering from network drives. Regular DVD movies playing fine from local AND network drives. Both using same media player, the W7 built in MSFT mediaplayer. Codecs can not be an issues, otherwise the local stored HD movies would not play fine. Regardless if HD or DVD, CPU consumption never goes over 15-17%, memory is around 1.5GB...so the system is not very busy at all.
Anyone any tips/hints? ...can it be that the W7 firewall is blocking network traffic somewhat/somehow? I am using MS Security Essentials for virus protection... So, i deactivated the firewall and viruus protection. No change - is there anything which I may missed there? Or any others?
