Live TV hangs NPVR

[striben]

I have a problem where Live TV on a couple of my channels doesn't work.

The enclosed log files in NMTerror.zip is this:

On a NMT client I select to watch a program from the TV Guide.
The systray device status on the PC will show that I am watching live TV.
But on the NMT client I am just returned to the TV Guide.
After maybe 10-15 seconds the device status changes back to idle/nothing.
If I choose to record the program it works OK, and I can start watching the program while still recording it.

The enclosed log files in PCerror.zip is this:

In the TV Guide I select to watch a program.
The NPVR window shows "please wait..." for a few seconds, then it goes blank.
Device status tells me that I am watching live TV, but I ain't.
After 20-30 seconds device status changes back to idle.
At this point NPVR hangs / is unresponsive, and I have to kill it.
Like on the NMT client, starting a recording, and even watching it while recording, works very well.

Only a couple of my TV channels give me this problem, others are fine.

I'm using DVB-C devices, one PCI- and one USB-based, both give me the same problem.

It's not finding the file on the LiveTV folder on your D Drive

2012-09-05 23:17:32.553 [DEBUG][3] file does not exist: D:\LiveTV\live-TV 2 | Danmark HD (Fyn)-3329.ts

There might be a problem because you are using the pipe character "|" as part of the channel name

Yeah, that's odd. Never seen that character used in a channel name.

I'll add some logic to filter it out in the next release. For now you'll have to rename that channel.

Thanks Martin.

That might just be right, as the other channel giving me the problem also has a pipe in the name.

The channel names are not entered by me, but by scanning the DVB-C devices. So next question is: How do I edit the channel names?
(Might be an easy answer, but I'm at work so can't check right now).

On the Settings->Channels screen, right click on the channel and select 'details', then you can edit the name.

Thanks a lot! Renaming the channels made it work.
