Placeshifter only 1 frame per second

[kuka]

I installed trial SageTV server on two computers and placeshifter on several computers connected 100 Mb LAN.

In any combination I try to use placeshifter I get only apprx 1 frame per second. Sound comes perfectly. I use Hauppauge HD PVR without any software compression. Hauppauge bundled software works perfectly.

On SageTV server computer CPU load is 5-9 %, memory usage 50 %. On placeshifter computer CPU load is 15-20 % (Core duo 2.2 GHz, with 2 GB).

Whats wrong? I go for SageTV if placeshifting works correctly, since that feature is essential to me.

Are you recording the HDPVR at 1080i or 720P?

1080i is not supported at this point thru placeshifter.

I have tried only standard resolution, no HD. When I start placeshifter, in the beginning the frame rate is higher, maybe 15-20 frames/sec, but within few seconds it goes down to 1 frame/sec. It is not depending on PC hardware or LAN. The result is same with two duo 2.2-2.8 GHz or older Celeron in 100 Mb LAN. I downloaded SageTV client and try with it later for debugging, but I need placeshifter to watch remote cable box. I assume there is no bandwidth issue with SageTV since upstream from cable box is 10 Mb and downstream is 24 Mb and I have watched without any problem IPTV service, which steals 8 Mb.

H264 content does not work well over placeshifter ever after setting lower bitrates for the server to transcode. Please correct if I'm wrong.

Why is that?

I can stream 1080i mpeg fine to my placeshifter (HD Homerun source)

I can stream 720p h264 fine to my placeshifter (HD PVR source)

But as noted, 1080i h264 is choppy/stutters in placeshifter.

The same file 1080i h264 streams perfectly over the (gigE) network to VLC player.

How come VLC plays well and Placeshifter doesn't?

I tried SageTV client on same PCs and it worked perfectly. I cannot understand what makes Placeshifter so different. Still I need remote client over internet. Can I use client for this, it is still only streaming...?
