Hi, Flo!
I have one question somewhat to the other side of the topic. Getstream works differently at different computers. At the comp I'm writing this letter getstream works awfully. There is another computer where getstream works perfectly.
As for this computer, if the number of channels in the satellite strea more than 2 and the digital stream more than 10 Mbit/s then the image has chaotically placed squares (about 20 % of the screen) and the sound stops from time to time and even has fragments echoed. This is both for udp-multicasting and http-unicasting.
The difference between computers is that this one was made on AMD Cempron and other one was made on Intel Pentium 4.
What do you think about it?
My guess is that the ethernet is down to 10MBit/s and you are loosing frames. The sound stutter and the broken video is clearly packet loss. So either the server is to slow - or you loose packets in the network. When the computer is too slow to handle the incoming packets you should get getstream kill itself by the watchdog. I have been streaming 3 complete video transponders with ~20 channels with a celeron 1Ghz and 256MByte ram - so i dont think your machine is too slow ...
