MVPMCX2 need more buffer time???

[agerdin]

Martin,

Not really sure how to describe the problem but since i upgraded my system from an analogue tuner to a digital (HVR-4400) I am expericencing huge problems with my NMT setup. I see the same behavoiour for both GBPVR and NPVR. When selecting a channel to watch it seams to me it that my tuner need some additional time before it start to stream the file (it does not happen all the time but often). This in turn confuses the MVPVCX2 who probably tries to stream a file which is not quite ready? This results in a black screen and the only way to get it back is to unplug the NMT.

I can see this delay quite clearly when watching on the computer, that sometimes the tuner needs up to 20 sec before i see a picture and the file is created.

Is there any logs I should look at or is there a way to delay the time prior to MVPMCX2 starts to stream the file.

Any advice is appreciated.

If the problem is only with livetv and recordings play ok, I am reasonably sure that mvpmcx2 and npvr will have problems if it is taking 20 seconds to deliver data, it's not a question of buffering since there is nothing to buffer. I suspect that is a server side change and nvpvr needs need to wait before telling mvpmcx2 to play, so you will have to get sub's attention. Even if mvpmcx2 had a delay on every play (which would be most annoying) the server usually wants responses before that.

The logs might indicate the problem. When it doubt send all logs.
