Video Stuttering / RN312 6.1.6 / Panasonic TV

Running 6.1.6 on a RN312 with DLNA and I am seeing videos pause/stutter quite regularly. Have had the same network setup with a Duo without this issue and 6.0.8 was fine on the RN312. It's not due to hi-def bitrates (mostly standard def) but it does seem to do it with MP4 more than divx/xvid.

If I put the video on a usb and play directly to the TV it works perfectly - so doesnt seem to be the TV

Everything points to the network connection (powerline adaptors that run at ~250-300mbit through a gigabit WNDR3700 router) - but as I say, it was running perfectly for a long time and now its almost every video. A quick pause/rewind gets the video started again and it does this 2-3 times per 40min show. I have swapped out the powerline adaptors and they seem to be fine - but will try a direct network cable connection to the router this weekend.

Thoughts?

  • Thanks Skywalker. Just got home from work and it's 11pm. I have updated to 6.1.7-RC5. I'll check it out over the next few days and report back. Cheers.

    It's been over a week now that I loaded 6.1.7-RC5. I've not had any problem with stuttering at all. I even just tried viewing a 720p on the TV via ethernet and at the same time a 720x406 MP4 over a Wireless N to a panasonic Hard drive recorder. Once again, no problems.

    Thanks for your help.

    You should update to the released version, now that it is available.
  • My Sonya Bravia (kdl-46w905a) have start to get these connection problems with 6.1.8 rc1 (or maybe 6.1.7 didn't have that one for so long) is there anyway to enable logging, tried to install the toggle addon for arm from here: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=27946 but that one isn't made for debian so does not install.

    Can get the disconnections sometimes in the middle of a movie, and while scrolling fast down the movie list.
