I would love to contribute to MP but after looking at the tools I don't think I am up to the job. :( As a workaround I have created Windows tasks that stop and restart TvS. As long they run at a time of day that I am unlikely to be recording or playing back they should solve my problem. Thanks...

I am not a developer. I do have a lot of experience debugging code, but not since about 35 years ago. Can you tell me briefly what tools would be used? I will look them up and see whether I think I can manage them. Would it be helpful to add more logging to TvS to track memory acquisition and...

Here are the logs for about 21 hours. (A Windows feature update did not go well.) 1545 restart TvS with log level = debug 1600 Power up client 2030 Start MP on client Playback 30 min of recorded program on client 2100 Exit MP and power down client Next day 0910 Power up client No MP Update...

No, no significant change. 1. My system is powered on and running 24/7. (I participate in Folding@home so there is always work to do.) 2. I have not noticed big jumps in memory, just a steady increase. 3. Yes. memory usage starts to increase immediately after restarting TvS. 4. The system...

I must modify one earlier statement. The memory allotted to TvS does go up and down a bit but goes down only by small amounts -- in the 10s of KB -- while the general trend is up -- about 18 MB per hour. For the test you requested: EPG Grabber was not enabled. Recording thumbnail creator was...

Thanks for your reply. I had a hunch the problem was deeper than I could see just from the numbers in Task Manager. My system is up 24/7 so memory allocation is not routinely reduced to initial values. There is a very severe memory leak somewhere other than TvService (I assume) that forces...

Correction: All instances of KB should be MB.

There appears to be a memory leak in TvService.exe of about 15KB per hour. After restarting my system (W10, MP 1.27) Windows task manager showed 17KB of active and 32KB of committed memory assigned to TvService. Two hours later with no recording or playback the numbers were 50KB active and 65KB...

The captions are missing probably once every two or three minutes. (In my original post I wrote MPC when I should have written MP.)

I have a short (about 3 min) ts file that has reproducible missing captions. At 2:45 in the file two successive captions are never displayed by MPC. VLC shows them and CCextract finds them. I tried using the latest LAV filters and the new cccp.ax but no change. As RonD said, this seems to be a...

Avast! anti-virus allowed EPG Buddy to run last night without problem. It had been quarantining it.

Updated to 0.4.3.4. It works. Thanks for the quick response.

I have been using EPG-BUDDY in US with tvguide.com ever since imdb.com stopped providing tv listings. Buddy stopped working a few days ago. Based on a change to zap2xml the problem seems to be: tvguide: website now requires https login

MPEG encoder package exe must be run as Administrator. Thanks naibf7

Sorry for the delay in responding. I downloaded and installed version 2011-12-05 and retested. The situation is more complex than I first reported. Some TV channels in my area (Los Angeles) broadcast the main program stream in 1080i and some broadcast in 720p. If MP is displaying captions and I...
