4.0.4 live TV randomly freezes

[sgilani]

Hi,

i'm having trouble with live TV after updating to 4.0.4, using an HD-PVR2 (1517) and an HVR-1255, running on Windows 8.1.

I get just a black screen and no audio with the new tsreader no matter the decoder. Ticking legacy makes it work again, except it randomly freezes. This looks promising from the logs:

2017-07-27 21:39:58.057 [DEBUG][43] Renew lease ok (0x160054)

I grabbed the patch in the skip freeze thread, and the new tsreader now works, skips are very fast, and no freezing/crashing for about 2 hours now. Hoping that's the fix! If anyone else has this issue, go try that patch.

Great - fingers crossed it stays that way!
