| Post subject: | help with wifi and mythtv |
hey all, just got my new powerbook, and trying to get mythtv to work properly. I have the frontend working fine, and everything over 10/100 can watch tv without a hitch. The powerbook can too, but get more than 20-30 feet away from the AP (WRT54G), and it starts skipping and stuttering, and I get: 2005-07-24 20:09:14.598 prebuffering pause 2005-07-24 20:09:16.244 RemoteFile::Read() failed in RingBuffer::safe_read(). constantly in the Console. Now, for what its worth, according to the airport software on the powerbook, I get something like a 60-75% signal, yet it still is choppy. Smooth playback on a hard wired unit uses anywhere betwee 800KB/s to 3MB/s, usually staying around 1.5MBs. I'v tried putting on a hacked firmware to boost the signal, but it didnt work, I tried a parabolic reflector, but no go...diffrent channels make no difference. So what next? powerbook is a 1.5Ghz g4 |
