I have a dedicated transcoding server running Mezzmo 5 with amd 8 core 3.4 ghz processor and 8 gigs of memory sitting on a gig network. When i stream content to directv receivers in the house, the pause ever 10-15 minutes and on occasion fail. I have dropped the bitrate 6 Mbps and the issue continues. If I drop the bitrate much more, video quality will surely suffer. Now I can stream to my chromecast with 19 Mbps without an issue. The one thing I have noticed is that streaming to chromecast network throughput fluxiates between 3 - 5 Mbps. But when streaming to directv network fluxiates between 100 kbps to 32 Mbps. It seems that directv may not be happy having such largest bursts of data. Is anybody else noticing this behavior? Any advice on throttling directv streams without dropping bitrate? Perhaps a modified device profile?
