LiveTV Freezes Are Back on Clients

Thanks, I'll give a go

Martin still seems to have some other problem going on though, which I'm still trying to get to the bottom of.

I just watched 40 minutes of hockey, it crashed once with read = 0 plus trace error while it played and I wasn't touching the keyboard or mouse. Of the two errors this is the most annoying, because I have to kill the task and not just x of NextPVR.

I'm noticing that with the post-R2 rollup (primarily patches from this thread), I can't skip live tv back more than 2 minutes, 50 seconds. I can pause and resume further back than 2:50, but once I go forward again, I can only go back to -2:50.

This happens on both server and client - the behavior is exactly the same.

more detail: if I pause for awhile and get 10 minutes behind live then resume it resumes in the right spot, and forward skips work fine. however, as soon as I try to skip backwards if my position is further back than -2:50, it immediately jumps forward to -2:50.

example:
-start live tv
-pause for 10 minutes
-resume, timeline says -10:00
-skip forward 3x, timeline says -7:00
-skip backwards, timeline says -2:50
-skip backwards again, timeline says -2:50

anyone else seeing the livetv issues I reported above? It seems too specific to be just me.

[whurlston]

Give me 10 minutes.

In the meantime, does this happen on both SD and HD channels? I currently have an HD channel paused.

[whurlston]

Nope, not happening here. I can skip back beyond -2:50 and timeline shows properly.

[johnsonx42]

and you're using the same code as me? latest pre-release plus post-r2 rollup?

@johnsonx42, Are you installing the Post-R2 patch, and then the nshared.dll and managed.dll files from this thread, or in a different order?

[johnsonx42]

the post-r2 roll-up patch includes the latest versions of NShared.dll and Unmanaged.dll. Unmanaged.dll is the same version as in this thread, NShared.dll is actually newer.
