Live TV - PAUSE turns into "STOP" after a few minutes (1 Viewer)

[omriamos]

Hi,

When I watch Live TV, I can Pause and Resume with no problems at all. I can also Timeshift with no problems.
if I pause for a long time, after about ~2-3 minutes the screen goes off. That's ok - I can click "Play/Resume" and the TV continues to play.
But if I pause for a little longer, after about ~10 minutes - the "paused" mode turns into FULL STOP - the "Play" button doesn't work and I'm back to the main LiveTV screen (with the small window of the actual tv stream) with the TV completely OFF/STOPPED (and all my timeshifting - gone).

Is this normal behavior?
If it does, can I change this timeout length? (or disable it completely)
If it doesn't, and idea what could cause this?

I'm using MP 1.6 with StreamedMP 2.2.

Thanks

Thanks, I have reproduced the bug and the Log file is attached.

P.S.
Please note that after reproducing the bug I started up the TV again (and then stopped it manually) - just to be sure that it was indeed stopped and not paused.

So the process was:
- Started TV
- After about 2-3 minutes: screen turned black
- After about 5-10 minutes: moved the mouse the wake up the screen - pause is still active
- After about 30 minutes: pressed a button (probably down) to wake up the screen - TV was stopped
- Started up TV again to make sure it is indeed not keeping the timeshift in the background..
- Stopped the TV and exit MP.

In short: this is an HDMI thing.

You pause:

MP blanks the screen after 3 minutes:

You move the mouse and wake the screen:

MP blanks the screen again after another 3 minutes:

The TV turns off after another 7 minutes, and at this time the audio device (TV) is removed so playback stops:

To resolve this you can try to untick "stop playback on removal of an audio renderer":

...but I warn you, this could cause other problems.

Thanks!! I will try that.
However, do note that:
1. I actually don't use the HDMI as my audio output (I use it just for video) - my audio output is going through the optical s/pdif to my receiver, which is always on).
2. The audio device from the log ("AMD High Definition Audio Device") is not the active audio device in MP... I have "REALTEK DIGITAL OUTPUT" selected (optical s/pdif)...
3. If I turn the tv (meaning: actual tv monitor) off while MP-TV is still running and not paused - it will not stop..

If you don't use the hdmi audio, you can safely disable it in the devicemanager. That solved playback issues for me perfectly

I'll have to give that a go as I think I have also experienced this bug
