Hi all,

I've recently had a go at streaming recorded shows to my PC. I had a go at this when I was in the UK (running the UK image, obviously) and it worked quite reliably. In the current set-up (with the oztivo image) I get freeze-ups every few minutes during the playback. Sometimes it un-freezes again after a couple of minutes, sometimes it takes longer.

This *might* be a network issue. The tivo is connected to the via a wireless client. In the UK setup, I had a wired cat5 connection to the router. However, in the past when I had bandwidth issues, it usually manifested itself as a stuttered playback, all the way though, rather than freezes of several minutes.

On the tivo side, I'm using vserver, as I did before. Is this still the way to go, or are there better options now? I am planning the add an xbmc to my network at some point. Should this influence my choice of server approach?

Another question... is streaming likely to have any effect on the event bug? Is it likely to happen more ofter when the tivo is "busier", running the server?

One final issue - I am recording everything in 16:9 (from Foxtel), but the PC (running Media Player) displays everything at 4:3, squashing everything horizontally. I noticed that palmod_config can be used to changed the horizontal resolution and have set it to 720, but this doesn't help.

On a more general note - do many of you stream from oztivo (to PC, xbmc or both)? Does it work well (and reliably)? If so, I'd be interested to hear about how you do it.

Any advice appreciated. Apologies if I've missed something obvious in the wiki or other sources.

Thanks,
