Streaming 1080

    Apologies in advance if I give you these details incorrectly or incompletely, I'm still learning the lingo :o

    I've recently started using Mezzmo to stream films from my pc to Philips Tv.

    Its a cat5 wired connection via a UPC router. The Tv is a Smart Tv so is wired to the router too. The Pc is about 10m from the router which is beside the Tv

    The main problem I have is that when I try to stream a Blu-ray rip at 1080 it seems to do nothing. There's no problem with 720 rips.

    Is it possible to stream 1080?

    If you need any other info, just ask.

    Yes its very easy to stream 1080p over a wired connection.

    A 1080p rip from Bluray is usually no more than about 15Mbps average bitrate. It peaks higher so in reality you want a network capable of sustaining about double your average bitrate.

    Anyway if you have a 10/100 network you should get close to 100Mbps so there shouldn't be any issue.

    Even a full Bluray ISO maxes out at 54Mbps so you can stream it easily in a 10/100 network.

    So you have an issue or bottleneck somewhere.

    Are you able to view the 1080 stream on any other device?

    Thanks for the replies.

    Johnboy: I don't have another device to try streaming to.

    Scumkiller: How do I find out if my network is 10/100? I have the 50Mb broadband, but I don't think that's what you mean?

    Your router is certainly 10/100. Only a very old one would be 10Mbit only and you wouldn't be offered 50Mbit internet with such a router.

    You need to to check all the other variables. Try some other network cables, try some other streaming software.

    If you have another computer/laptop, connect it the same way you are connecting the TV and find out what kind of network throughput you are getting with a file transfer or benchmark software.

    Try to play the same video locally on the TV (ie does it have a USB port for playing videos?) to confirm it actually can play it.

    Monitor your computer while streaming to see the CPU load. Some streaming software will attempt to transcode the video in realtime, which is something that may be problematic for slower computers.
