Unfortunately that's quite common with DLNA. Sony TVs are an extreme example for this.

I have managed to get a video streaming from N9 to N900, but is keeps pausing for buffering.
Same problem using rygel on my PC and on N9, so I suppose that is a client problem.



0.8.3 on PC. Back-end? Isn't rygel the DLNA backend?
Oh, that's ancient (Still better than debian stable, I suppose you use ubuntu?).

About the pausing, that could be the bug with clients that request alot of short byte ranges at once (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662125); this has been fixed upstream some time ago (0.12.something).

Rygel itself has different back-ends, one using Tracker (as on the N9) and the other doing the meta-data extraction itself. If you don't have tracker installed, it's the other.
