Works in nextPVR but not in XBMC

[danielgwalter]

Hi,

I am migrating from media center to XBMC ... although at present without much success!

running a clean install of win 8 x64 with XBMC frodo RC3 and next pvr 2.5.9 (with Rollup 2 updates and NextPVR XBMC Addon)

nextPVR is running a blackgold GDI tv tuner presenting dual DVB-T tuners and ffdshow as the decoder.

when running nextPVR from the desktop i get all channels absolutely fine and stable, initial tuner load takes about 4 seconds and channel changes take about 2, this is good!

when running XBMC the initial live tv load from the epg takes about 10 seconds or more (not good) and if i try and change channels either the EPG crashes (including stop responding on XBMC) or the channel appears to change but no new picture appears (i.e black screen no video or audio).

how do i go about providing logs for debugging and what can i try to remedy the issue in XBMC.

thanks in advance

Dan

Unfortunately these times are fairly standard for XBMC when playing PVR streams via HTTP. NextPVR is delivering data to XBMC within about a second, but the XBMC internal demuxer takes somewhere in the 6-10 seconds to display it.

They're starting to make some changes in XBMC to improve things, but I'm pretty sure it's going be a while.

For the no picture on channel change, do you have the most recent patches installed?
