Live TV crashes on channel change on client

[lost@c]

After much playing around and hunting through the forums, I have managed to get live tv to play on my client but when I change the channel I get exactly 3 seconds of the new channel then it freezes. I can only get out through the task manager. On restarting and returning to live tv I get the channel I have changed to but further changes have the same result. Live tv runs fine on the server BTW

I am streeming and using the cyberlink BDA multiplexer on the server

Thanks lenor. I did find this thread in my searching and have tried the patch, FTA (thats all I have), with and without MDAPI, recording in and out of process but all with exactly the same result. I reliably get 3 seconds of the changed chanel then freeze. The recording service on the server carries on too as in your case. File sharing gets the stuttering described.

Any other thoughts?

3 seconds then freeze >> exactly as it's here on my system! however, as it's just FTA for you, you should not really need MDAPI enabled and, thus, could be a different thing! anyway, post your logs, perhaps sub can find something useful in there.

OK log files attached. As a note, the first channel change after a fresh start happens OK but the next gives me the 3 second then freeze problem.

Any help greatly appreciated

is your logging level set to "debug" (config / general tab) :confused: looks unusual short

[lost@c]

no but I deleted them and restarted everything to create new short logs with just the last few things in them. The level is set to error

Set the logging level back to debug and reproduce the problem and repost the logs and I'll see if anything stands out.

Thanks Sub. logging changed to debug, problem recreated and log files attached

Hope you can help.

I think the problem is something to do with the Cyberlink mux taking too long to start producing a stream. You could try increasing the live tv pre play delay on the client, or maybe the ATI mux on the server?
