Can't view main stream on Live View

That doesn't seem to do anything. Currently only able to view four of the six cams right now. Cams 1 and 5 are not viewable in live view. I really don't know what the deal is.
Sorry, they all work in substream without issue. The screens start playing live video within seconds.
All h.264 with no option to change it. I can't see why it would be a bandwidth issue. I have no problems streaming or anything else that I can see.
Do not put v3.4.0 on... v3.4.2 (v3.4.0 was another Hikvision disaster!)
When you say no issues on the monitor, are they all main stream or sub-stream? And are all the seconds ticking, sometimes the image will freeze.
It sounds more and more like cable issue. It doesn't take much time to take one indoors and connect to a shorter made up patch cable to eliminate the issue.
Streaming from a website is not the same as streaming from your house. What is your internet connection? If it's ADSL then your download might be 20MBPS but your upload will only be 1MBPS or 2MBPS.
Go to speedtest.net and post screenshot here.
I upgraded to firmware 3.4.62. Current one I found. All main stream views on the monitor attached to the NVR and all seconds are ticking. NVR attaches to a netgear prosafe switch where everything else in the house is connected to. I'll have to take one of the cams down and see how it looks attached at the NVR.
By the way, in this firmware I'm using, there's no option to change the resolution. In the drop down it just says "[object Object]" a few times.
Is the sub stream using bandwidth? I thought I had the sub stream shut off completely but guess I don't.

Via the NVR interface I dropped all cams down to 1920x1080 (which I do not like the view on). Came back to PC and all but cam5 populated quickly on live view. I dropped cam 5 to "medium" and it populates on live view. All cams are on "higher" and 20 fps but cam 5 on medium. I'm going to pull cam 5 now and bring in the garage and see if I can get highest quality attached at the NVR. But cam 5 isn't even the longest run in the house which doesn't make sense to me.
Brought cam in garage and cam 5 is working but no live view on cams 1,2 and 6. Changed quality to medium (still at 20 fps) on all cams and they all populate. Cam 5 at 1080p and all others on the setting above that.
Just an update. The cams have been working for two days now with these settings: 15 fps, 7000 max bitrate, Variable and medium quality. Cams 1, 3 and 4 are at 2048x1536 and cams 2, 5 and 6 are at 1920x1080. I'm dreading what I'd have to reduce the quality to when I add another cam. Thanks
It's a wired connection from my pc to a central switch.
NVR firmware is 3.4.62 build 160503. Cams are all on 5.3.0 build 150814.
