Hi its me again !
everytime i'm streaming movies from whs to media centre ( HTPC) it works perfectly for about 10/15 sometimes 30mins playtime..
then all of a sudden everything will just freez. for no aparent reason.
My WHS pc has an intel gigabit NIC connected to a gigabit switch.. where another switch connects to where the media centre is connected. ( wired via CAT5 cable)
all my NIC's have up todate drivers installed on both the WHS and Media PC..
any tips and tricks?
anyone?
You are not giving very much information about how, exactly, your "streaming" is being done. So it's almost impossible for anyone to offer advice that might be useful to you.
If you're running WHS V1, then I suspect that it's the Drive Extender Migrator service that's causing the issue.
The Drive Extender Migrator service is run under the following conditions:
• Every hour, or to be more specific – after resting an hour after the last completion.
• When the Drive Extender Migrator service starts up – typically when you first turn on your home server.
• When a shared folder is added or removed using the Windows Home Server Console’s Shared Folders tab.
• When duplication on a Shared Folder is turned on or off.
• When a hard drive is added to Server Storage using the Windows Home Server Console.
You could schedule a batch file to run at night when not streaming etc. for example:-
REM Batchfile to stop the WHS Drive Extender Migrator Service and set it to Disabled
net stop DriveExtenderMigrator
sc.exe \\localhost config DriveExtenderMigrator start= disabled
REM: Batchfile to reset the WHS Drive Extender Migrator Service to on demand and start the service
sc.exe \\localhost config DriveExtenderMigrator start= demand
net start DriveExtenderMigrator
I'll give that a go.. if I'll add you to my contacts if you don't mind.. cos I might need your help more !
I don't know much about creating batch the batch files.. i've never done them !
yeah that worked like a charm....
thank you very much... i can stream without any issues at all...
