Synopsis::

1) start Mediaportal
2) go to TV section
3) Zap a couple of channels up and down, like in normal use.
4a) after a while Audio is out of sync with Video
4b) in the middle i get a message no signal detected but signal is good and tv video holds a second and audio goes on. (this happens sometimes after about 1 hour watching but before this the tv is mostly out of sync already)

Timeshifting is off in my configuration. I tried several filters Elecard, MPV/MPA and the std. Hauppauge Non-CSS MPEG 2 driver. All tried filters have the same problem.

[infinityloop]

please test again with MPV and MPA as codecs for MyTV.

New logs with MPV/MPA codecs... Now the out of sync happened rather quickly

[infinityloop]

seems like your MediaPortal installation is broken.

look at all the database errors

I strongly suggest that you do a clean installation of MediaPortal 0.2.0.0., then you apply latest nightly build an test it again.

Do NOT unstall 3rd party plugins like TVSeries. the current version needs a major update to work with current svn.

My tips (without reading log ):
1. Make sure you are using default direct renderer
2. Dissable 3.-party stuff like AAM apps., CPU-throttlers
3. Tyr again - with MPV/MPA-codecs.

Also: Be awre that you gfx is not a DX9 card - not sure if this impacts TV-viewing, but you should get a DX9 card.

That beeing said; I somtimes have same issues as you, but I minimized them (almost eliminated) by following the two steps mentioned above.

[lar282]

i do have dx9 card
I tried with mpv/mpa


help......

//Lasse

[trojkolka]

i dont use AAM or CPU throttlers and i use MPA and MPV since InfinityLoop asked me to.. I know my card isn't dx9 but it worked before in these settings and also lar has a dx9 card and has this problem so i dont know what's wrong

[Spragleknas]

And this:
"1. Make sure you are using default direct audio renderer"
