Stuttering when using home plugs
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2017 9:15 am
Apologies if already mentioned before.
Just wanted to share my experience UMS connected to TV with Devolo home plugs.
Using UMS 6.5.2 and earlier versions with no issues and all of a sudden it started stuttering on most movies played to my Panasonic-Viera TXP50G20BA.
Went through all the steps, uninstall and clean install of UMS and Java, disabling firewall etc. Final troubleshooting step was to connect PC directly to TV and problem disappeared. Therefore it was the Devolo home plugs.
What I did (and I assume every manufacturer of home plugs has its own software) was to disable and then re-enable data communication in all of my home plugs. Problem gone.
BTW, thanks for the great software and keep up the good work.
EDIT: This seems to have been the reason for the stuttering I had in the past. Where I have had to lower the MaxVideoBitrateMbps to 25 to avoid stuttering previously, now I have it on the default 90 with no issues. Funny, never would have thought this was the issue for me all the time.
