Panasonic TX-50CX802b Help

[psychog0]

Hi,

I have just bought a new Panasonic TX-50CX802b and i am having serious streaming issues to it especially when streaming 1080p films to it.

I have a wired 100mb network from my server to the TV and the server spec is as follows: -

150gb SSD
4GB ram
Intel Q6600 quad core @ 2.40GHz
Win 7 (32 bit)

I am getting lost of stuttering during high action scenes and I am noticing this event in the logs: -

Can anyone assist me ????

It could be due to limited network speed or CPU processing power. While the Q6600 was considered a "bad boy" back in the day, it's not very fast compared to modern CPU's. It is after all 9 years in a months time (I still have one in use in one of my computers, but it's clocked to 3 GHz which helps some).

It could also be due to the 100 Mbps network. "Wired" is generally assumed to be 1 Gbps today, 100 Mbps is actually closer to 801.11n (54 Mbit Wifi) than it is to 1 Gbps, and you have configured transcoding to use "wired" speed (meaning 1 Gbps). Try setting both

Code: Select all

Transcoding quality (MPEG-2)

and

Code: Select all

Transcoding quality (H.264)

to "Wireless" and see if that helps. If not, I'm afraid your CPU is not up to the task.

The problem is that the video is not streamed but transcoded. You have to try different Panasonic.conf than the general one Panasonic-Viera.conf which doesn't support MKV. You can simply choose renderer at the General configuration tab by the Select renderers button.

EDIT:your TV supports more formats

Code: Select all

video: AVCHD 3D/Progressive, SD-VIDEO/AVI/HEVC/MKV/WMV/MP4/M4v/FLV/3GPP/VRO/VOB/TS/PS
audio: MP3/AAC/WMA Pro/FLAC/Apple Lossless/WAV
pictures: JPEG/MPO

so it could be better to make your own .conf

all q6600 work at stock voltage at 3ghz. Raise for FSB in bios at 333mhz( stock is at 266).
My old Qx6850 -3ghz stock( 266x11)work ok with Pana plasma on mother home and UMS.

Mine needed a better cooler. Imo core temp's shouldn exceed 70 C under heavy load, and to achieve that I had to put one of those "cheap" watercooling kits on it.

Hey Guys, first of all thanks for your feedback, I have tried other Panasonic configs but having the problem on all of them. I think it could be related to the CPU not being powerful enough and may have to upgrade (and yes it was a badboy CPU in the past lol) I am torn as to whether the CPU is the problem or the network. If i lower the quality to :-keyint=5:vqscale=2:vqmin=3 /* Good quality */ it does seem to work better. However i don't have this issue on my PS3 or 4 its just on this TV. I would like to modify the .conf but i am a bit of a noob and don't really know much about scripting.

Do any of you know how to make the buffer bigger so i could possibly have a larger buffer on my PC before it sends it to my TV?

As i said the problem doesn't occur until high actions scenes are playing and that could be sometimes 15 mins into the film or 30 all depending....
