I was very excited to try out Mezzmo because I could not find another DLNA server that supported wtv files (recorded TV shows from Windows Media Center). Sadly, when I try to play these wtv files it starts off great for a few seconds and they starts stuttering. When I pause the video and resume playback, it will work great for a few seconds and they start stuttering again.

Other video file types play great without any problems, its just the wtv files that give me a trouble. My initial reaction is that its a slow transcoding process that is holding everything up. I can also play the same wtv files great through my xbox so the issue is not the video files themselves.

I have a new gaming computer (Dell XPS, i7, 8GB ram) and am using wired CAT6 connection (not wifi) so I don't think the problem is hardware or network related.

Can anyone duplicate this? Is there a way to have the software buffer the video first so maybe it does not start right away but when it does it gives smooth playback?

The DLNA player I am using is Sony BDP-S580.

Please help. Thanks.
