The playback on a Slingbox Pro is slightly slow and stutters... It was not doing this before. I restarted my macbook pro, my slingbox and my tivo. The audio even stutters when I play just from the antenna. (Although when I am in the configure slingbox mode, the audio doesnt stutter.) The playback is til much better on Windows. Anyone else? Edit: After about three minutes, everything clears up and is in sync. Still the first three minutes suck.

caball, I get the same thing. Stuttering audio that disappears after a couple of minutes. Not so sure on the video quality compared to Windows.

Those of you seeing a File Not Found screen: I've been told the software package may take another 30 minutes or so to show up at all download locations worldwide.

Actually, strike the "working perfectly" part from my previous comment. While I don't have any audio issues, the video quality is greatly reduced from the Beta.

Never had audio stuttering before the update but now seem to get it like a few others at the start.

Sling (folks)

Can we please get a patch to fix the audio and video issue with release 1.0 ?

Since I know it's impossible to revert, can you replace the old Beta version with a 1.1 ??

I love the product, but it's reallt starting to hurt. :(

Can we at least get an update if someone is addressing the issue.

 

Regards,

Cadle

All, The audio stuttering is ONLY during optimization. It's clean after that. Also, you may need to completely delete ALL SlinPlayer files (preferences, etc) manually and try installing again. I've seen some corruption issues in the past that affect playback of both video and audio. But once the optimization is done, the audio is fine.

Anyone know if SlingPlayer Mac v.1.0 requires an update of firmware?? Can I update firmware from a remote location?? I'm currently running with last Best version, and system backdated.
