Something New
I am having problems with my Windows Media Center WTV files freezing when using my Xbox 360 as an extender. I need to skip backwards or forwards to get the video started again.
1) I have done a fresh Windows 7 Ultimate install...without SP1 and with SP1 installed and with the latest updates.
2) I have set my flow control on my NIC to match the XBox
3) No firewall running, no anti-virus installed, no other programs except Windows 7 in its natural form etc.
4) No add-on codecs
5) Linksys EA4500 router. I've tried other routers as well, D-link, Asus, Netgear etc..doesn't make a difference
6) Netgear unmanned switch and I have tried Linksys switch and no switch...doesn't make a difference
7) CAT 5e ethernet..cable tested and swapped out ...doesn't make a difference
8) Direct streaming from amazon prime via the Xbox..no problems
9) Direct steaming via Media Player via Xbox to WMC. 7 no problem.
10) Steaming music from WMC to Xbox 360.. no problem
11) All recordings are done via WMC..so all files are WTV
12) No problem when playing the files directly on the PC, its only via XBox 360
13) No problems with Live TV via WMC stream to XBox 360
14) No packs dropped during steaming
Did I mentioned, that I have done a fresh install 10x in over 2 years? still I have the same problem. AND I'VE CALLED MICROSOFT AND ALL DIVISIONS POINT ME TO: XBOX POINTS ME TO WINDOWS, THEN WINDOWS POINTS ME TO WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER FOLKS and PC hardware company points me to Microsoft etc. I think you get the point.
Was there an update to Windows that is causing this problem? Is there a reg tweak to be made to increase the buffer or error correction on the WTV file to ensure any errors are not pausing the playback file? which is my only hypothesis that could be causing the pause
I've exhausted all google/bing searches and no answers.
