Bad Stutter & video_buffer_size

[nstocke]

I have been testing PlaceShifter with good results on recorded shows and a terrible Stutter on Live TV. I read in some of the posts about increasing the video_buffer_size to eliminate Stutter. I tried that by adding the line to the SageTVPlaceShifter.properties file. I'm not sure if it is working but every time I exit from Placeshifter and recheck the .properties file the video_buffer_size line is gone. Am I missing something? Is video_buffer_size still a valid entry in the .properties file?

Any Suggestions?

Thanks

Can anyone help with some info on what Decoder and Renderer Placeshifter uses? I thought maybe if I better understood what Decoder or Renderer Placeshifter uses I might be able to tune drivers, settings, or parameters to improve performance on my system when trying to watch HD live TV.

Thanks Again

Yes, Stop the SageTV service and modify the file again. Restart the service and you should be good to go.
