LiveTV Freezes Are Back on Clients

[sub]

What capture device were you using? Was this Network Recorder, without the rolling files?

I am positive it is a live tv file your xml log should show the pieces.

That xml example I posted was from one of your earlier logs, and showed what I expected to see.

Your new nrecord.log did not show this xml. Instead it's reads looked like one big single file:

That was an HDPVR live tv, but yes odd, I'll send the next logs when I have time.

Here complete logs for another crash I still don't understand that last log, if it was NetworkRecorder, I log the file size every 10 seconds it's almost like a recording was playing

Code:

"Odd" log solved. I tried my next test and started the Live TV from the menu not the guide and it doesn't do a rolling file. Log attached.

I doubt that is the difference. There will be something more to it. I'm pretty sure if you stop and restart the recording service etc, then you'll find you get you the rolling file with either of those methods.

It's probably something like the previous live tv attempt didn't manage to shutdown cleanly, resulting in it being unable to allocation the mutexs it needed etc. You might also have found selecting a different channel helped, rather than the same channel.

I do wonder if this then has a flow on effect to whether you get a freeze. ie, is it only when it's using a rolling file, or only when it's not using a rolling file?

[mvallevand]

This could be the freeze that causes me to restart the recording service. I always use this method after live tv stops and I remember the last channel I was watching.

I just stopped a run after 3+hours of trouble free play. Again the "About to delete" files weren't deleted.
