Strang Problem popcorn screen goes blank after two epg changes

[dave.t]

Just An update on the process of this problem.
I was looking at the processes running through the task manager and I noticed a couple of programs would take over 100 of the cpu which made gbpvr very jumpy.
One of the processes was my antivirus scanning new files, being the recording. So I created an exception not to scan my tvtemp folder.
The second and most important was to set the priority of the processes, especially the recording service and pvrx2. I downloaded a program called prio from
http://www.prnwatch.com/prio.html
This allows you to save the priority you want to set a process, so I gave the recording service and pvrx2 a high priority.
Now I have no stuttering or jumping back.
I will let you know if this fixes the original problem but it has certainly fixed a lot of other problems that I have not documented.

Personally I don't agree with giving higher priority to GBPVR applications since Windows should be able to do this just fine, however excluding your mpeg files is not bad. I don't think this is the cause of the other problem, GBPVR is not telling mvpmcx2 to play a new file.

Hi Martin
I have an old machine so anything I try to run eg internet explorer, word for windows etc would make the tv stutter, since setting the priority to high for the recording service I can do what ever I like on the pc and it does not effect the tv out in the other room. I just cant get the priority to stay at high, but thats another problem.
The sad thing is, it has not fixed GBPVR from going blank after 2 epg changes.
I will keep playing until I here from sub
Thanks again
Dave

setting the priority to high for the recording service I can do what ever I like on the pc and it does not effect the tv out in the other room. I just cant get the priority to stay at high, but thats another problem.

I have this set in config.xml. It works for me ...

<ForceHighPriorityRecordingService>true</ForceHighPriorityRecordingService>
