Having problems playing back high def content using vlc player over a network share
I have a server that I have ripped all my DVD's and recently, blu-ray discs to, and use a client running Mediaportal and VLC to play back files as I have ripped them all to mkv files.
DVD's are fine, but some of the hi-def stuff will play back with a blocky effect in the picture, although the audio is fine..
I tried to use the standalone player, rather than from within MP, and it was worse, then the picture was blocky and jumping around to catch up with the audio.
In addition, it takes about 2 mins for the standalone vlc player to start playing content, though MediaPortal will play the file instantly.
Are there any network optimisation tricks for VLC player? Both the server and the client are on a wired 1Gb network
The client is using AMD x2 cpu and onboard HD3200 - which should be more than capable of playing the content, Im seeing very little cpu usage, so it looks like avivo is doing its job...
