streambaby weirdness, fail

Ok quick background.

I have an AMD 6 Core Machine (Win7 64bit/16G Ram) that is my streambaby box for streaming video to both Tivos in the house.

This machine stated getting weird and I took it offline to test it for a virus, bad harddrive bad memory etc. Everything seemed to be find. I figured that it was maybe a corrupt Windows install and decided to re-install windows.

I backed up everything and re-installed windows and began to re-install my programs to test to make sure that this was the issue. I restored my copy of steambaby (streambaby-0.29) and used ninite.com to setup java.

Everything looked good as far as directory structure and I did have to edit the streambaby batch file to go to jre7 instead of jre6.

When I first ran SB, I got an error when trying to stream a show. I was able to find out that it was a font problem and I removed the meta data sitting in the show specific directories that had been created by sickbeard before the reinstall.

Once that was removed, I was able to stream an mp4 file without issue. However, I had trouble streaming an mkv file.

Normally, this box can convert *Any* mkv in almost real time. I also have MOCA setup at home so its cot a fast connection from PC to Tivo.

This stream did not budge. It barley would produce any show at all and frequently paused. I tried bumping down the quality down to see if that would have an effect but that didn't help as well.

I also have a separate setup of (streambaby-20120828-2030.zip with search) just to make sure that it wasn't my original SB setup that had issues.

This also had trouble.

I dont' understand why I'm having problems. I'm more than happy to provide logs or try anything to see if I can figure out the issue.

TIA
