[vdr] Watch VIDEO over W-LAN

[Axel Gruber <axelgruber3@gmx.de>]

Hello List

I know this subjekt was diskussed some time ago but i have still some questions:

Since some dayīs im a proud owner of a Small Notebook with build in  Wireless LAN.

So i came to the idea that it would be a nice thing to watch with VDR recorded Movies
over this W-LAN on the Notebook - or stream the realtime TV-Picture.

I have tested it with this configuration:

FILESERVER + SAMBA
Copyed some .vdr files to a "readable" samba-Directory.

installed The Elcad-Player on the  WINXP (notebook)

---> Tryed it!

Sound and Picture was not very good (stottern) - so i think that the W-LAN 
Connection was too slow so i connected a "Network-Cable" directly to the 
Notebook - and everything works fine - sound and Picture is very well :-)

But i donīt understand why the W-LAN is too slow ?

If iīm near enough to one of my Access-Ponts i have 11MBIT DATA-RATE 
Thatīs  1,375 MB/s

i Though that eg. RTL sent only 3,9 MBIT/s = 0,487 MB/S

Does anyone have a IDEA - or do i calculate wrong ?

Perhaps the Filehandling over the Network need so much Bandwith ?

Is there a way to "stream" it over the W-Lan so the BANDWITH is enough ?

If anyone have a idea or a sugesstion - please let me know.
