Continuous Hic-ups After Short Time

[SWR_DMaster]

Hello,

I have an ATI Wonder Elite.
Using GB-PVR to view live tv works fine for about one to five minutes.
That is when it starts to continuously hic-up.
There are only two ways I have found to 'resume' normal play.
One is to change chanels back and forth.
The other is to start time shifting.

I have tried different decoders as well as keeping the live tv in
time shift mode. Niether works. From the forum I have deduced
three possible theories that could be causing the problem.
One, the cpu is at full use...AMD Athlon 950MHz.
Two, the memory is fully allocated...780MB.
Three, something else is going on...

What is interesting is I have been keeping an eye on the cpu
and memory allocations. The memory stays the same, I have
PLENTY left over. But the amount of cpu cycles used by gb-pvr
drops from 80% to about 16%. The strange thing is is that the
cpu cycles aren't being realocated to anything else. They just
sit in the System Idle Process.

So I am down to the theory that it is something else...
Thats where this forum comes in because I'm simply out of ideas...
I would appreciate any help.

Thanks...

Maybe it has gas? Try burping it

You could try using a different decoder to see if the problem goes away. Do you use "encoder passthrough" for the deinterlacing setting, by the way? I think you should, if you don't.

[SWR_DMaster]

As stated in the first post, I have tried many types of decoders.
ie. Intervideo, cyberlink, Nero, etc...
As for the passthrough encoder, if I don't use that one the picture get choppy...

[stefan]

Sorry... I actually looked for that in your post but didn't see it... are you sure you didn't edit it after I posted?

[stefan]

Is anything happening in the gbpvr.exe.log or recordingservice.exe.log at the time when the hiccups start?

[SWR_DMaster]

Yea~

I'm posting the part of the log from initialization of the stream to the time of exit. The time it started hic-uping was somewhere in the minute of 2:43...
RenewLease: 1 is the onlything that I see...
Without knowing the source I would guess it is failing to request more
cpu cycles from the system but the system is refusing or the message isn't
correct / "lost en route"... It appears to retry every 30 seconds.
It looks like the problem was found, now for a solution???
Any Ideas...
Thanks...

[stefan]

Not sure, but I think that the "renew lease" part is normal. Sub or someone else will be able to confirm this.

[sub]

Yeah, that looks normal.
