Hi sub,
i have now a small problem playing back hd material within all npvr setups. Some hd channels are stuttering while watching live tv, while some others just are "black". Audio is available, but it sounds mechanical.
This happens ONLY within NPVR while watching Live TV or as normal videofile (copied into the media archive).
Playing back the recorded bufferfiles with Graphedit, VLC or Windows Media Player, there's absolutely no problem. Graphedit and Windows Media Player are using the same splitter (LAV 0.44), the same videodecoder (ffdshow -> libavcodec) and the same audiocodec.
This means: the recorded .ts files are fine and there's perhaps a bug on another place? Non hd material isn't a problem at all, it's just fine as usual.
Otherwise i could see a very high cpu usage while playing back the hd content; even with the microsoft dtv decoder. NextPVR @ ~48% cpu usage (npvr.exe is multithreading now?) on an i5-2500K @ 2,8 GHz.
It's not network related. I have just tested 3 simultaneous playbacks of the same channel. NextPVR on the left, Graphedit, VLC and Windows Media Player. They all played the same file and only NextPVR was stuttering.
