I've got a few issues with the TV-Server setup.
CPU Usage:
Recording with all 5 tuner cards (see specs above):
- MP standard - CPU usage of 36%
- MP TV-Server - CPU usage of 78%
Is this normal behaviour for the TV-Server to use that much of the CPU?
Renaming of Channels
After scanning both analog and digital channels with the TV-Server the manual option in the TV-Server control/setup window works fine. When you select a channel for time shifting all works fine and all details about card, channel, signal strength etc. get displayed above the time shift button, recording can be selected and time shifting can be stopped.
As soon as you rename a channel, the following happens; When you hit the time shift button nothing is displayed above the butten (signal strength etc.), the window below indicates the server started time shifting, you can't select record and the time shift button does not change to stop timeshifting. The only way to stop time shifting is by stopping and starting the server.
This happens with both analog and digital channels, also with combined analog/digital channels.
I managed to repeat the problem on one of my other MP HTPC's which has only an analog tuner card
And I managed to repeat this on again another of my MP HTPC's (I have 4 MP pc's) which has a dual DVB-T tuner
I've tried with a clean windows and MP install, same problem.
I've tried manually editing the channel names in the database, same problem.
Starts to look like a bug.
