Yes you did, my old man got it free from work and was going to give it to my daughter for Xmas a couple of years ago. Told him she can't have it because we'd got her a tablet. He gave to her the following year but she can't use it because we refuse to open up an account for her. It's sits in a drawer waiting to be thrown out

You could send it 2 me instead of throwing it out

Nah mate, I couldn't offload a piece of crap onto anyone. The smashed up and binned is the best thing for it........... Who knows, in 7 years time I might let her open up her own account.

what operating system are you running? codecs shouldnt be an issue if your using shark007...

FYI have you seen my nerd build thread? it may be some interest to you http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...d+build+thread

W7 Ultimate....shark007 is loaded with every codec under the sun and half never worked. Been there.... Using Haali, Matroska splitter and ffd show. IIRC. Tried shark007 and it was impossible to make 1080P MKV play smooth. I recently bought a new and faster SSD for it. Just gotta get off my rrss and reinstall Windo$e on it. As it used to play really well, except for one movie that I downloaded. Avatar. But that was a 29Gb file and it jumps around. Now its jumping around a lot now and I can't put my finger on the cause. The network or the HTPC.
I really would like to run a micro server, rather than a NAS, as I reckon this is my issue, as my other HTPC it does this on the odd occasion too. There must be a bottle neck somewhere. File transfer speeds were certainly quick enough from HTPC to NAS. But I found sometimes changing the jumbo frame size on the HTPC (when I'd get this glitch) would help. Wether it was just a coincedence? I don't know.
Anyhow, I got the shits with it and left it.

i would have to say you bottleneck probably is the northbridge of your motherboard and thats what cant handle the information being decrypted from the video, have you considered that?

I haven't but not convinced it is that.

Actually... I do remember playing the HD mkv's from a portable hdd and they played fine. I think. Jeez. I need to just sit down, with a slab next to me and nut this out, once and for all. Getting a pvr would be easier though...

Did you try turning it off and back on again?

You idiot. Hahaha!

Trouble is, I don't own DVD's. Well I do, but all the dvd's I have and the sub 500 other movies are all stored on a network drive. So I just push a button and play. Well, thats what its supposed to do. Lol.

Nic. Whats your transfer speed from say your HTPC to your server? What cable you running too? Cat5, Cat5e or Cat6.
