Sorry if this is in the wrong place, couldn't find a relevant other section.
I just bought myself a Western Digital Live TV media streamer today. After the numerous stuttering issues or 'file cannot be supported' issues with the tvmobili software trying to stream to the lounge tv from upstairs pc, this sounded like the perfect gadget. Also it comes with the netflix app which i dont have on my blu ray player. or my tv.
Tried out Netflix, watched a couple of inbetweeners eps with no problem. Watched 5 mins of Heroes in HD also from Netflix and again no issues.
I get around to trying out streaming HD from my pc and the same stuttering issue as normal. Tried .mpg, .mkv and .iso. This thing plays any file which is great but each one plays fine for around a minute then starts to stutter and freezes up. i tried around 5 different files which I know play with no issues on the pc and in fact direct from usb have been ok in the past.
So what is the issue? Is it my internet connection? An online speed test is telling me it is currently at a download speed of 4.75M which isnt great but should be enough to stream this I would have thought?
Has anyone got any tips on how to overcome this?
Someone on another forum mentioned using an NFS server on the pc and mounting the file to that to solve the issue, is this right?
