Video not starting

[Tacoma]

When I attempt to play a recording or live TV, usually right after I have started NextPVR, the video and audio do not start. I need to restart play a couple of times before video and audio kick in. I have changed video decoders, but it does not seem to improve this situation. I have used LAV video decoders, Mainconcept (HCW) MPEG 2, Microsoft DTV-DVD.

Also, I am seeing problems with video playback using LAV decoders, video may stall or breakup during playback.

Using version 4.0.4 (170731)

You need to post your logs.

When using LAV video decoder make sure that Settings>Decoders>Renderers>'Use Legacy NPVR TS Reader and Miscroft Demutiplexe'r is UNTICKED.

Yeah, we'll definitely need logs.

I understand. The problem is intermittent, so it may some time before I am able to reproduce. Will send logs next time it happens.

Re: LAV, I am using the new NextPVR demux.

Does it work if you tick the 'use legacy reader and demux' setting on the Settings->Decoders screen?

I have been using NextPVR over 1 1/2 years. This was never a problem until the most recent update. The problem is intermittent, usually when I have just loaded or reloaded NextPVR recording service. It may take two or three starts to get the video/audio to play. After that I have no problem for an extended time. I ticked the 'use legacy reader and demux' setting on the Settings->Decoders screen. I will run it in the legacy mode and report back, but no problem so far.

I have been using the 'legacy reader and demux' setting on the Settings->Decoders screen for some time without any problem with the video not starting.

Recent update ver. 4.0.4.170820 seems to have resolved this issue.
