Hi
I am new to NPVR, but not to HTPC's in general, I came here after 15+ years on a variety of WMC/DVBLink combo's
I only started with NPVR this weekend gone and initially it worked perfectly, however from today, I am experiencing 100% guaranteed freeze's when playing live TV. The period after hitting play to the video/audio freezing is variable, but its always < 2 mins and always > 5 seconds!
There have been ZERO configuration changes to my PC. No new software. no changes to NPVR settings and no windows updates. I am at an utter loss in explaining why it has gone from 100% reliable to 100% unreliable with zero changes!
I have tried restarting the PC (many times), tried shifting the liveTV buffer onto a different disk.
- Version is 4.2.3 (181112)
- Issue occurs with MPEG2 streams and H264 streams
- Issue occurs with both LAV and Microsoft DTV-DVD decoders (I rebooted after changing each of these)
- The issue occurs both for live TV and for recordings. Playing back old recordings works just fine still.
- Issue occurs on every single channel
- Time-to screen freeze is variable 5 seconds through to 2 mins
- The hang happens in the native client running on same PC as server, in the web client running locally and elsewhere and also in the android clients and the Emby client.
I am at an utter loss as to why and how this could have occurred. Next step will be a reinstall.
Maybe someone here can help - logs generated at the time of the video hang are attached
Kind Regards
Nigel
