Sharing .ts Files In Lan (/wlan)

[__kt__]

Hi,

 

What would be the best solution to share recorded .ts -files (including subtitles) in a local wireless network in Windows Vista? By sharing I mean streaming the recorded files to a player in another computer. I have tried to play the files directly using file sharing in Windows, but at least in my wireless network it doesn't work very well. Opening the files in DVBViewer is quite slow and what's worse, opening the file sometimes causes the wireless connection to disconnect. Does anyone have any idea if this is a Vista or DVBViewer problem?

 

One solution is to use Windows Media Player (in Vista) to share video files but I guess it doesn't support .ts -files? At least they are not automatically added to the Windows Media Player library.

 

Thank you for answers in advance!

In my home-network, DVBViewer and Drembox7025 save and read all *.ts files on a NAS (Intradisk).

It's a perfect media-sharing solution!

probably your wlan can't cope with the bitrate of your recordings. Try re-encodind and streaming with the VLC (provided you server pc is powerful enough).

 

There is good news for wireless streaming applications. The upcoming technique 802.11n will boost the perfomance considerably. New hardware is required though it's backwards compatible. It will be available soon

Hello !

 

It works fine at home if:

My Laptop has a connection > 24 MBits

Windows Folder is shared and opened.

O.K. This takes a GOOG while.

hence you can work with mapped network drives on the CLIENT PC.

 

You can play TS either with TS Player or VLC (what I used for 99% of Video ).

Hi, thank you for the answers and sorry for the delay. I'm currently using VLC player in my WLAN (54 Mb/s, 802.11g), and it's working better than DVBViewer (VLC player opens the file faster and never disconnects the WLAN connection). I'm playing the files just by opening them from shared network folder with Windows File explorer. However, with the VLC player I experience short 0,5-1 second "breaks" about every two minutes. Could it be that even the 54Mb/s is too slow for this purpose? Bergh, Derrick, have you experienced anything like this?
