What would cause these weird chaotic bursts? My outgoing bitrate spikes by 4 times or so. I will have smooth perfect frame rates for about 5-8 seconds, and then 1-2 seconds of total chaos, followed by another 5-8 seconds of smooth rates. Here is the nature of the behavior specifically: Trine is playable, but only because it's a safe puzzle game and latency doesn't kill you. The framework skipping is too poor to play any twitch games (Call of Duty) or games where imminent death is always looming (Shadow of Mordor, Gauntlet).

I now get frequent "slow decode" and "slow network" messages. Without changing any settings that I'm aware of, or any hardware setup, I've lost that ability in the last 3 weeks. It was a beautiful thing and saved me MUCH spouse aggro (spouse watches TV, I game quietly on the laptop, cuddle time, all is well with the world) I was running Call of Duty MW2, Shadow of Mordor, Gauntlet, Trine 2, etc, and was using an xbox 360 wired controller for most of them. IHS Hardware Decoding, Fast, Limit to Desktop ResolutionĪ few months ago when I set up in-home-streaming for the first time it worked brilliantly.

IHS Hardware Encoding, Prioritize Network TrafficĪpple Macbook air laptop running OSX Yosemite 10.10.2 This recently started, everything used to be fine. Everything will be smooth smooth smooth for 5-6 seconds, then a 1-2 second jump in outgoing bitrate, high frame drop rates, then repeat. TL DR - I'm experiencing odd spikes in latency that make IHS unplayable.
