Cannot play recorded movies - video slows machine

JohnFish

I recorded a movie and a set of .ts files were produced. But the problem is that i cant view it because the machine becomes almost unresponsive and the video shows in like a couple of frames a second.

Am i doing anything wrong?

Bit difficult for anyone to respond unless you give more information about what setup you are using to play back, hardware to TV or PC and using which software cabling etc.

Cabling is to a wired NAS. there is no bottleneck there i would say because i can access the same files from my laptop wirelessly with no problems. Dreambox is 500S with enigma 4.2. The NAS exposes the files through smbfs and I have mounted it in dreambox. The recording part is fine - if i access the files from elsewhere they show up fine. The files it produces are .ts.

so when i select the file from the explorer in file mode dreambox seems almost unable to play the file. sometimes it needs to be restarted too

Are the programs encrypted that you're recording?

Can you play the .ts file from the NAS on a computer without glitches?
