Live TV stopping every few minutes

[Schtele Bunzorz]

This is not a disk space problem, at least it should not be. But I'm betting it is.

Playback just pauses. No errors, no messages. I have plenty of space on the live buffer drive. I suspect something is writing to the Windows drive, which as you can see is not available for writing.

What options do I have to provide you with information that would be helpful?

I do not see an option to attach things, so I will submit and try to attach later.

Every time it stopped, I click the  "Log files" button.  And yes I restarted the service earlier today because of disk space on F:

I suspect that something is attempting to write to C: but I have no idea why or what.

I'm betting it's low disk space. How much is free on C:\ where the live tv buffer files, and temp m3u8 stream is sent?

You're really just going to need to make sure you've got adequate diskspace, because lots of things can fail if you're low on disk space.

For LiveTV in the web player you do need space on the data folder as I already told you.
