    Jerky staggering playback with DLNA media server and Sony Media Player


    Sony Media Player DLNA Server problems
    Sony Network Media Player SMP-N100.
    Problem – playback from shows recorded in Media Center staggers – stutters.

    TV is connected to Sony MediaPlayer – and it seems to work fine streaming NetFlix and other videos from the internet direct. Just not able to play videos on my desktop PC.

    My suspicion is that I do not have enough horsepower in the processor.
    Is there any way around that? Can I stop things or free up things?
    I have a Compaq / HP - AMD Athlon II X2 215 Processor 2.70 GHz and 3 Gig of Ram.
    OS is Windows 7 64 bit. home premium - up to date with SP1.



    I get a much better response when I use AirPlayIt and stream videos to my iPod or iPad on the same wifi. They work fine – just stagger a bit if the PC is being used. I think AirPlayIt is running a bit more quickly than MediaPlayer!

    Use a different DNLA server than MediaPlayer?

    Well, no thanks to anyone in the forum, but here is the answer. I ran an Ethernet cable from my router to the box - and it works fine. I can even record one show and watch another which was recorded.

    I thought I have a pretty fast wifi - and uncluttered channel - but this fixed it. You can get 50' of cable at Walmart for cheap.

    Bye.

    Wireless is inconsistent on it's best day, and some media may have a higher bitrate than can be transferred over wireless. The processor, as you figured out, has nothing to do with it and an Ethernet connection is ALWAYS better than wireless. Sorry I didn't see this sooner, and glad you got it worked out.
