Live tv not possible

[Dahl]

Hi,

I have recently switched to NextPVR from Media Portal. I find NextPVR to be a great product that stands out with its simplicity. NICE!

I have however twice now run into the following 'showstopper' problem. After NextPVR have been running for a day or so my decoder seems to be stuck on a specific channel. Starting live TV on another channel than the last one in NextPVR brings out a message saying something like that these is no decoders available. I'm sorry I cant remember the exact wording. I have verified that no recordings is in progress. The only way I can get ouf of this state is by restarting the NextPVR Rercording service.

Please help me fix this problem.

System Information:
Windows 8.1, Cinergy HTC STICK

Maybe try putting Live TV Buffer in C:\Users\Public, or in C:\Temp, which is the default location. Any trouble with recording?

I have not tried to make a recording after NextPVR has entered this state. I will try to du that next time it happens.

I'll also try to move the live tv buffer to public. I do however not see why this should make a difference. If you look at the logs around the line you refer to you can see that it actually succeeds starting the live tv for "RTL HD". It is when starting live tv on "DR2" and "HD DR1" that it fails.
