video not fluid - stuttering - PXE media director - HOW TO REMEDY?

[Lexje]

Hi forum,

I am having following issue:
Core/hybrid on xeon 2.84Ghz
Media director booting via PXE P4

A while ago the media director wouldn't boot anymore. At first I thought my NIC had died. After some testing I found this wasn't true.
As a quick remedy I chose to delete the MD from pluto webadmin, and reinitiate it.
So far so good.

Now the problem:
Eversince during playback of a recorded film, the image slows down, comes to a halt, then as if in slowmotion moves forward (no sound anymore) to slowly speed up again till normal speed.
I've had a look at top on both the core and the hybrid: CPU is never higher than 25% on either.

Apart from the reinstall, nothing has changed on the network.

What can I do to remedy this very disturbing situation?
Change xine priority? But then why was this no problem before?

Thanks for your help!!

What version of lmce are you using and what video card?

Sory for the lack of info;
My MD is on 7.10b4.
As of yet I don't know whether the system auto upgrades or not..
Video card:
Geforce 6200 256MB

It's important to know that this system has been running much better before.

Thank you,

Erwin
