You have run the VLC instance in the same PC where the stream is produced.
Instead, check the situation by running the VLC instance in different PC
i.e. try to introduce the network overhead. If still VLC runs smoothly, then
it is something related to the STB.

Subject: [Live-devel] ts streaming for tdv

Hi, I recently started to explore the utilization of the Live555 library to 
generate a DTV channel for a customer. Based on the 
testMPEG2TransportStreamer and testMPEG1or2ProgramToTransportStream demos I 
developed a plugin for one of our apps that takes a playlist of TS or PS 
clips and streams them in sequence (if its a PS clip is converted to TS 
while is streamed). We are using RAW UDP streaming (using a BasicUDPSink).

The stream is taken by a SciAtl's DCM and sent to customers STBs (Arion's 
AC-2410R, it seems). So far so good. 

The problem is: At the STB side the video freezes for moments. Everything is

going OK and then the video freezes while the audio continues normally. 
After a few seconds the video continues, jumping the current frame at that 
moment. A VLC instance running on the same PC where the stream is produced 
does not have that problem.

I know that my exposition of the problem has been absolutely vague, but 
anyway I would be very grateful for any hint. As a first step I'm trying to 
identify possible causes for this kind of problem. Sugerences regarding 
where/what to look for would by great... Feel free to ask for any specifics 
needed.

Thanks in advance,
MRC
