i've just got xbmcmythtv working with my 0.18 back end. originally i had bt878 cards in the backend which recorded mpeg-4 files which don't seem to be playable by the xmbc mplayer. so i changed them for some dvb-t cards which record in mpeg-2.
now i can play the files from xbmcmythtv but the playback of audio and video is very jittery which makes it pretty much unwatchable.
the network is a 100mbps rnuning over an ethernet switch with only 2 or 3 pcs on it, so surely that shouldn't be a bottleneck?
the recordings are being accessed over samba. i was wondering whether that could be an issue. does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this and how i can fix it?
thanks,
phill
