Live TV - Time Shifted - Stops at end of the show

[Wickster]

I am a new user to GB-PVR and have finally got everything working pretty well. (Lots of helpful stuff in the forums here, Never would have known to change quartz.dll Thanks )

When I view live TV in time shifted mode the playback stops at the end of the show. (according to the guide) This is annoying if I want to keep watching the same channel. And catastrophic when watching "american" football games as they often run past the time slot on the guide and I loose the end of the game.

Is there a config setting I missed to allow time shifting of live TV to continue? Or am I forced to record my precious sporting games with a longer post padding time?

Is this on a network client machine? I saw one other report of this a few weeks back (on a client machine), but I havnt had a chance to look into it yet.

No its just a stand alone PC. The navigator at the top of the screen reaches the end and the picture just freezes. I jump back to main menu and I've lost the end of game

My specs if they matter much:

1.6GHz Pent 4
512MB ram
120GB HD
Win XP home
Hauppauge PVR-150
Sattelite box using IR-blaster from the 150
Nvidia 5200 S-video out to TV
Nvidia Purevideo decoders with Overlay

I used to have this problem. I think it also coincided with me not being able to watch a recording in progress. Luckily, something happened requiring me to re-install everything and both problems were fixed.

To me that points to one of my drivers or filters being corrupt.

I had this problem also and it was the Nvidia Decoders. It would happen at the end of a show in timeshift mode when it switched files. It would cause 100% cpu until I exited out of it. I tried different versions with no change.I switched to intervideo and never had the problem again. I have since switched my video card to an ATI x1300 and using the Nvidia decoders again but I do not have the problem anymore.

Well I have an update.

It turns out that GB-PVR does still keep playing at the end of a show. However it freezes for a period of time before continuing on to the next show. I just wasn't patient enough to wait for it. The time it is frozen seems to vary. However it seems to be around the same amount of time I need to wait for "time shifting mode" to start.

However I can't rewind back to the previous show. How do I access the previous shows in time shift.

Well, I have this problem, too, and I don't use Nvidia decoders. At the end of every show in timeshift mode, it freezes! Quite annoying.

try pressing the blue button (control b) it used to get me out of that freezing.
