Theater Question

Hello everybody!!

 

Just a quick question.

 

I have serveral very high encoded movies about 15-20 gigs, 15000+kbps and tru 6.1 DTS.

 

The media Theater video player has a hard time keeping up with it even though its playing from my computer (alienware)

On the Samsung Series 8 TV the movies look awesome, but sometimes the BW has to catch up, I will hardwire it and hope that helps.

 

Would using another video player such as VLC help, or does anybody have an awesome player for higher encoded movies.

 

I love the theater beacuse of how it displays everything!!!  Very Cool!!

 

Should I start over and clean house of all codecs? or did something go wrong or was missed?

 

 

Thanks in advance

Not sure what a BW is but I don't seem to be seeing the problem you describe. I don't use MBT regularly but I just tried playing a 21gb blu ray rip of zodiac and it plays fine. I've used path substitution so MBT is playing it directly from my media server all gigabyte Ethernet.

Hard to say what the issue could be without the full picture of your setup.

 

What kind of specs does your computer have? CPU, ram, video card, hard drive (size, speed, available space), etc...

 

What about the file format of your videos? Are they blueray rips? Are they compressed or full 1:1 rips? Are they mkv's or something different?

 

Did this just start happening recently or have you always had this issue with these movies? How do you have MBT setup? Are you using MadVR? If so, how have you got it configured? How are the LAV video/audio/splitter setup?

 

It could be an issue with anyone of these things. An external player might help, but the internal player should work just fine for HD content.

You say you will "hardware it". Are you currently connecting to a NAS over WiFi? Sometimes wireless can struggle with high bitrate videos.

I have found that my movies/tv shows, 1080p or not, tend to stutter or slow down for a second or so every now and then.  I can't say for sure that this started occurring with the latest build, but it never used to be an issue.  I started using jriver as external player because of this issue.  jriver plays things perfectly.

 

This said, OP sounds like he is having extreme issues.  Generally speaking, the internal player handles 1:1 blu ray rips fine.  OP how do your movies play in a different player?  That is the first thing to try.

I have the exact same issue with a Mac Mini i5 2415 with intel HD3000 gpu.

I have an old i3 2100 with HD2000 graphics and 4gigs of RAM... No issues playing Bluray rips.

try hardwiring it rather than on wireless. High bitrate audio and video will require more bandwidth especially if its only 54Mbps wifi.

You are using the internal player in MBT and no stuttering etc?

What i3 is it?
