EA6500 Choppy Video Stream to Xbox360

I've been viewing some videos streamed through the EA6500 from a Qnap 419p II NAS, and several video files are playing back extremely choppy.
I can confirm that the video files play fine on the Xbox360 using a USB key and have also previously streamed these videos without any problems using a Belkin Wireless Pre-N router (that I upgraded from) streamed from the same NAS.
I've attempted to configure the Media Prioritization feature, but haven't noticed any different results. I have also adjusted other various settings that haven't affected the playback in any way.
My only guess is that some of the files are encoded in a format that the router is struggling with - the video files are not HD videos, and their bitrates are generally quite low - if my old Belkin router can do it, the EA6500 shouldn't have any problems either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! 
Here's my router's configuration:
- Software version: 1.0.0.145954/1.0.0.159292
- EA6500 firmware version: 1.1.28.146072
Thanks for reading my post!

Hey jamay,
Below you'll be able to find the information about the video file I'm trying to stream from my Qnap NAS to my Xbox360.
Note that I'm not actually using the routers USB attached storage / Media Server DLNA features to stream the file, but simply streaming the file from one network device to another. The codec that the video was encoded with won't necessarily apply.
The video does stream okay to my Home PC, but not the Xbox360. My Home PC is using a static IP address, but the Xbox is currently configured to aquire an ip address from the routers DHCP server. I might try and see if using a static IP address will change anything.

  • Choppy video streaming...

    I'm trying to watch a live video stream on MLB.com (major league baseball).
    It's playing back one frame at a time. If it was just choppy, it wouldn't be as bad.
    Anyway, it used to work fine.
    Real Player, and Windows Media Player are both doing the same thing.
    It's also doing it when I watch it from within the browser.
    That's what makes me think that it's a computer problem rather than the connection.
    Can someone help?
    I use DSL, via my airport wireless.
    All other internet related things work fine.
    thanks.

    You mentioned in your post that you upgraded the latest firmware. So after upgrading the firmware did you reset the router? It is recommended to reset the router after firmware upgrade.  Steps to reset the router:
    Push the reset button on router for 30 seconds, turn off the router wait for 30 seconds and then power it on. After this process reconfigure the router. Power light should blink when you perform the reset process.
    After the process reconfigure the router as per the ISP setup.. Then try to do the following steps:
    A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
              1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
              2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
             3] Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on your router's main/ basic setup page)
             4] Then go to the Wireless tab, keep network mode as mixed,
     For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
     For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
    B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.

  • Choppy video streaming from samba on wireless network

    Hey all,
    I have a macbook pro with leopard 10.5.7 installed. The server setup is a Linux server running samba which is wired to a wireless router. I connect my macbook pro wirelessly to the router. Everything is all set up; my computer can connect to the server and browse the files without a problem. However, when I try to watch videos stored on my server through samba, the video is extremely choppy and practically unwatchable. I know this is a wireless problem with my macbook pro because my windows desktop has no problems at all watching videos over the wireless connection and when I wire the laptop directly to the router, the video streams just fine i.e, no choppiness. I have browsed the fourms and the internet but no solution has come up yet. I was hoping someone here might have a solution.
    Thanks,
    schne1derman

    Thank God! I thought I was the only one having this problem.
    I also have a Ubuntu box with all my movies and I stream videos wirelessly from it to my macbook using XBMC (ubuntu) and Plex (mac). At first I thought the problem was the wireless G speeds from my previous router so I bought an Airport Extreme Base Station and connected it via ethernet to my existing ADSL/Wireless router on a bridge configuration. Both ubuntu and macbook are now connected at 300Mbps but I'm still experiencing occasional choppy video. The wireless connection stays up at all times so it's not a wireless connectivity issue.
    I tried NFS but the problem persisted. I also installed Windows 7 RC on my bootcamp partition and had the exact same problem. Which means it can be an issue with the Airport on the macbook. I don't have another computer with Windows so I cannot say if it would work better on a PC.
    At first I suspected the problem was with ubuntu so I posted this on the ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7324538
    As you can see on the description I was getting those messages on the mac logs:
    26/05/09 6:02:19 PM KernelEventAgent[198] tid 00000000 type 'smbfs', mounted on '/Volumes/MediaCenter', from '//ed@ed-linux/MediaCenter', not responding
    26/05/09 6:02:19 PM KernelEventAgent[198] tid 00000000 found 1 filesystem(s) with problem(s)
    26/05/09 6:02:19 PM loginwindow[197] 1 server now unresponsive
    At first I thought it was a problem with the arp tables on the mac. I created a static entry for my ubuntu box. Now the connection is better and the samba volume doesn't disconnect as often and when it does, it reconnects after a while. Before the arp table static entry I had to reconnect manually:
    26/05/09 6:02:32 PM kernel smbiodreconnect: Reconnected to ed-linux
    One other thing to add. Before installing 10.5.7 (i.e running 10.5.6), I had this problem and the video used to get frozen (samba share disconnection) once or twice on a 1 hour video and reconnected 15 to 20 seconds right after it. Not a big deal. Now it happens several times (5 or 6 times on a 30 minute video) and it takes around 30 to 40 seconds to reconnect.

  • Choppy video streaming lately

    Has anyone else experienced this in the last few weeks? For me, every two
    minutes or so I get a 10-15 second pause in video. Half the time the audio continues uninterrupted.
    Before then I had been streaming from iTunes beautifully from my mac pro through my time capsule. They are in adjoining rooms with the apple tv being in the same room as the Mac. The physical layout and networking setup has not changed at all. I have the network setup as 802.11N only. There are no other devices on the network that could be eating bandwidth, and I do not have time machine backing up to the time capsule.
    The only thing I've been doing differenty that seems to coincide with the choppiness is tagging my videos with metaX... But I can't imagine that would change the bandwidth so much as to slow down streaming...
    I don't think iTunes 9 is the culprit as that has been around for a while, but I can't be sure. I also don't have much extra software running on my mac, and certainly nothing that could tie up a network.
    The only troubleshooting I have done so far is a factory restore on the ATV, and its onboard diagnostics, which passed.
    Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Any video that is stored locally on the iMac that is not found on the Apple TV is causing this freezing behaviour. Synced contents work fine as it is local on the Apple TV.
    Basically streaming video from my iMac is constantly freezing for couple of seconds and then resumes. Never had this problem two weeks ago and I have not changed anything on my side. Does this help?
    ok well this problem is nothing to do with apples external network.
    the problem is internal to your local network.
    try using ethernet to see if the problem goes away. if it does then the problem is with your wifi.

  • Choppy video streaming with Netflix on ATV2

    Greetings!
    I have had an issue streaming Netflix since about December 22nd. Prior to that, streaming had been just fine. At about that time, though (partway through the day, and partway through an episode of season 2 of Doctor Who), all my streams started displaying a strobing effect. The video quality is sharp, but the video framerate is reduced substantially. It is consistent and steady.
    I have tried logging in and out, restarting the ATV2, and switching between wired and wireless network. I can watch the same video on my Xbox 360 (streaming through Netflix) without the same problems, though it is possible that the picture is slightly less sharp. None of this is HD content (though the higher resolution first episode of the season showed fine).
    Are there any tricks to fixing this? Is this a known issue? I'm hoping there's a setting somewhere that'll tell the ATV to better tell Netflix an appropriate bitrate.
    Thank you,
    -Joel

  • IPad 2 slow and choppy video streaming and buffering- help!

    My new iPad 2 is taking forever to play videos on you tube, email, anywhere. Unusable basically. I changed the DNS to 208 but that didn't help. Every other Mac device works fine, including my iPad 1- I have a 64 wi-fi + AT & T 3G original and 2-is this a lemon machine or is Apple doing something about this because it's happening to many? Any solutions or input appreciated.

    Hi Joni S,
    how do I find out what version of Adobe Flash Player I have?
    To find the version double click your HD icon. When it opens select your HD and then in the resulting finder window search for "flash" (no quotes). In the resulting list look for FlashPlayer.plugin. Click on it once to highlight and then do a Get Info command + i or from the File Menu>Get Info. In the resulting pane look for the version. The latest for 10.3.9 is Adobe Flash Player 9.0.
    hope that helps,

    Choppy YouTube Video Solution
    Download the latest flash player from Adobe. After installing, repair permissions & restart your computer.
    Go to YouTube, open any video and press pause (don't do this while video is playing). Click the ctrl key or “right click” the mouse in the middle of the video window. The settings for flash player will pop up.
    Select the video settings then select "enable hardware acceleration."    Press close. Now RESTART YOUR  COMPUTER not just Safari if that is your browser of choice.

  • I get choppy video on netflix streaming online

    how can i fix choppy video on netflix streaming online

    What version Mini do you have?  How much RAM?
    What is your internet connection and speed?
    Not knowing that, first I would say insure that you have
    the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight installed.  Next,
    do you have any other apps running at the same time?
    Which browser are you using?  Also, is this all the time
    or occasionallly?
    I have a 2010 Mini (Mountain Lion installed) that I use as an
    HTPC.  Most of the time, I have no real issues with the video
    from Netflix.  There are occasions when video is pretty choopy. 
    However, I can view the same program at a later date and it plays
    fine.  Sometimes the problem can be at the Netflix end or with the
    connection.

  • Internet video streaming on G5 laggy, choppy

    I have a G5 Mac Pro. Latest OSX one can put on it. Currently hooked up via DVI to HDMI to 46" LCD TV. Largely, everything works great. All sound and video and software works fine. The one problem I have run into which could be a deal breaker is that video streaming from the web is terrible. It is laggy, choppy, slow, etc. Sometimes the sound is off. The install is pretty fresh. I haven't checked to see what media apps might be installed, for example Flip4Mac. I have hunted around and heard things like Flash, Silverlight, or just that PPC processors cannot handle video streaming from the Internet. The video card seems standard and DVD and local video files play fine. All updates are installed. It is also like this when using a regular Dell LCD using DVI. Any suggestions?

  • Choppy and stuttering video streaming on FF but works perfect on Chrome

    I use both FIrefox and Chrome together and although I love almost everything about firefox, what frustrates me the most is the constantly lagging video streaming. I have the latest Firefox version (ver 26) and the hardware acceleration is disabled. The videos even in multiple tabs will run perfectly smoothly in chrome but if I try n run even 2 or more videos in firefox, it will start hanging and the video will start stuttering. Any way this can be remedied?

    Hey phoenixrock!
    Thanks for creating a question. I'll do my best to assist you! Upon taking a long at your system details, it seems like you have two Flash plugins installed.
    *11.9 r900
    *12.0 r0
    I'm assuming this is creating compatibility issues. That's probably why you're lagging. Follow the instructions listed http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html#main_Download_the_Adobe_Flash_Player_uninstaller from Adobe's website.
    Note: You may have to reinstall Flash by going to www.get.adobe.com/flashplayer.

  • Choppy video playback with airplay from Macbook Pro

    I experience very choppy video using airplay towards my Airplay unit (3rd gen).
    I am using a Macbook Pro (15" retina, late 2013 version) with these specifications:
    - Intel Core i7 2.7 GHz.
    - 16 GB ram.
    - 768 GB flash/SSD.
    ...and so on. I have the Mavericks OS installed (10.9.1).
    When I duplicate or extend the screen of the computer to my Apple TV it is chopping EXTREMELY much. I am not talking a little bit - but it is not even watchable. I thought that it could be the router itself as the connection is (probably, correct me if I am wrong anyone) is directed from the computer - to the router - and then to the Apple TV, which could make the router like a filter in the process. And if something would prevent the signal from reaching the Apple TV with "full speed" it could prevent the actuall image.
    However, when I am using the iPhone 4S and streaming video (both video found in my phone as well as streamed TV from apps such as Magine.com) the image flows completely flawless. There are not even a touch of lagging. It flows perfect, just as watching a movie directly on the TV.
    The networking hardware in the phone is slower than in the Macbook Pro retina (late 2013) - both for sending and recieving data. But still... my iPhone works better than the Macbook Pro for the Apple TV. Even though that the processing, memory, graphic and networking power is probably a thousand times faster in the computer... it still performs really bad.
    I have followed some discussion threads here (https://discussions.apple.com/message/22051725#22051725 and https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5734226?tstart=0 just as a couple of examples). I have accessed my router (Netgear Gigabit EVG 2000) and increased the Wireless mode to "up to 270 Mbps. I have also followed the previously linked threads and disabled the WMM (in the QoS-section). I felt that this made a little bit of a difference...
    ...when I am mirroring the screen and scale down the resolution to match the AirPlay screen (full-HD, 1920 x 1080) it works okay, but still chops quite a bit almost all the time. But if I extend the screen and want to watch TV at the same time as I am doing something else on the computer - then it chops so that it is not even possible to watch.
    This have to be something either with the Mavericks OS or with my network settings - can anyone help me...? It would mean A LOT!

    Curious why you think it would be my network when the same network is being used by the iPad 3rd Gen and iPhone 5 and they both stream without issue. As far as the other items you mentioned, all devices are up-to-date with the latest firmware/software and the latest MacBooks do not have ethernet ports. Speedtests that I have conducted also indicate that bandwidth is not the issue as the results show that the speeds received from the router are quite impressive.

  • Satellite C850 - Why does Flash Player give me choppy videos?

    Hi, I have the Satellite C850-1MD, PSCBWE, Windows 8.1 64-bit.
    I have two problems.
    A. When I use Flash Player for streaming videos it gives me choppy playback. It *doesn't matter* if I use lower quality videos because it chops even though I use the lowest quality on sites like Youtube.
    B. If I use Silverlight it streams nicely up to 2 mbit/s but if i raise it to 3 mbit/s the playback gets choppy both with sound and graphics.
    Is it my broadband connection lacking capacity?
    No.
    I also have an old stationary AMD Dual Core with Nvidia 8400 GS and the same conncetion: it streams videos in Silverlight with 3 mbit/s flawlessly.
    I've tried with IE 11, Chrome and Firefox. I've cleared the cache. I've turned off and on hardware acceleration, but with the same results.
    When i search for the latest drivers for my Toshiba I'm getting confused because I get several options both for sound and graphics card. How can I find out which driver versions I should have installed?
    Do you have any other solutions?
    /henrik

    > A. When I use Flash Player for streaming videos it gives me choppy playback. It doesn't matter if I use lower quality videos because it chops even though I use the lowest quality on sites like Youtube.
    This is mostly related to slow data streaming.
    You said its not related to your broadband connection. Well, it must not be an issue with your broadband connection but Im thinking about server load.
    > When i search for the latest drivers for my Toshiba I'm getting confused because I get several options both for sound and graphics card. How can I find out which driver versions I should have installed?
    You can find your devices in device manger.
    The device manager provides you info about all devices which are built in the notebook.
    But honestly dude, Im sure its not a driver problem.
    By the way: the notebook specifications say that the notebook supports Intel HD Graphics 3000
    The Intel HD GPU is an internal graphic card which does not provide a lot graphic performance. Nevertheless it should be good enough for video streaming. However, you could check the Intel HD media control panel to improve Intel HD GPU performance

  • Video Streaming off time Capsule

    Hey guys,
    I have all my movies on my timecapsule and when I am trying to view them they are very choppy. Does anyone else have this problem? Any solutions?
    Cheers

    Hello whatsurbid. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Are the network clients, that will be watching the streamed movies from the Time Capsule, connected by wire or wireless. If wireless, which radio mode is the TC configured for: 802.11b/g or 802.11n only? Are there any non-802.11n clients on the network? Is there a Time Machine backup in progress when you try streaming?
    For streaming video, especially 1080p, your network should be 1 Gbps Ethernet between the video server & the client. If Ethernet is not desirable/available, then the wireless ratio mode should be "802.11n only (5 GHz)" with wide-channels enabled. This would allow up to 300+ Mbps of bandwidth. Anything less than this, may be the reason you are experiencing "choppy" video performance.

  • MSNBC problem with video streaming

    Hi, can anyone help me with this problem : I have a DELL netbook (specs below) that works just fine. However, in order to get reasonable video quality a recent driver from Intel had to be installed. That done, most video playback and video streaming are reasonable given the cpu power of the atom processor inherent to all netbooks.
    However, the MSNBC site, one of my favorites for news sports and entertainement, is really uneven in quality and sometimes unwatchable using the flashplayer 10 plugin (I use IE 6, for now). To the contrary, MSNBC also offers webcasts that open using WMP and not flashplayer and the quality is fine ! I have checked that it is neither my internet connection nor my antivirus software behind the problem.
    In short, I get choppy video from the MSNBC site, with some audio delay, and I cant tell whether it's a problem from their site or the flashplayer itself.
    Thanks for any suggestions
