Recieve Permanent "Starting Timeshift Mode, Please Wait" when starting Live TV

[Silly Burrito]

First off, let me say how nice this program really is. I'm seriously thinking about dumping my current Tivo solution to go with this program.

There's just one problem that I can see. I try to watch Live TV, but when I pause it, it gives me the message that it's starting timeshift mode, and to wait. Then it dumps me out to the menu. I found that I had live preview enabled, so I unchecked it and tried again. Now when I select Live TV, all I get is the Timeshift mode screen. I can return to Live Preview, and it works, but I would like the ability to timeshift Live TV if possible. I had ffdshow installed, and read about the possibility that I needed a muxer, so I downloaded CyberDVD and changed all the video settings to use that while uninstalling ffdshow, and it didn't work. I've attached my log files.

BTW, recordings work with no problem, and I can even start a recording a join it fine. It's just the LiveTV button that gives me a problem.

Thanks for any help!

Just a guess: try setting interlacing to 'encoding pass through' under the misc tab

Does the "C:\Recorded TV\LIVE TV" directory exist on your machine?

If you delete the contents of this directory, then try to start timeshift mode, does a new file get created? Does it grow?

It was set to that previously, but I had unchecked both options, preferring to stay in timeshift mode whenever possible. I rechecked preview, made sure it was set, and it didn't work.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Wow, that was a boneheaded blunder. I had previously recorded a few shows as tests, and I just erased them while I tried to figure out if there was an automatic delete (much as Tivo expires certain programs after awhile). In doing so, I erased the Live TV folder that I created, and that caused the problem. Thanks for the quick answer, Sub!
