I just got a sony bluray player that streams so it's wired to the router, as is the PC. Got the PC to come up as a media source (Win 7, seems to use WMP12) but streaming videos is rubbish. Seems to be an extremely low bitrate compared to the file played on the PC and even going through file lists it seems to be being held up.
I can stream stuff off my phone over wifi with twonkyserver way way better!
Also the computer slows to a crawl sometimes and I've tracked down the file wmpnetwk.exe (windows media player network sharing service) which if I 'end process' seems to make a big improvement. I googled it and it seems quite a few have had this too.
So basically can anyone suggest a better program for streaming or suggest anything that would improve how WMP is working? Thanks.
