After Timeshift-buffer is filled TV hangs (1 Viewer)

[sylvio2000]

I have set my ts-buffer to 1 hour. Everytime I pause tv for an hour it "crashes" when I want to continue watching tv.
I can hear that tv continues playing the tv-stream on another position (presumable at the end of the ts-buffer) but the picture freezes at the last position where i paused tv. So I only hear the sound and the picture is frozen.

I cannot watch tv until I change the channel.

IMO it would be better if tv would automatically continue playing at the last position of the ts-buffer, if it is filled up (I think this is how MCE handles this).

Am I the only one having this problem? Or is it already fixed?

I have seen this bug a long time ago in older versions of MP, but I never made a bugreport. I couldnt find some note, which states that this has already been fixed.

IMO this is a really annoying bug and it would be nice if it could be fixed until MP 1.0 Final.


Btw, good work guys. You are doing an amazing job. I am looking forward to 1.0 Final.

Just trying to think, what circumstances would cause me to pause live TV for a hour or more.

Nope, sorry just cannot think of any.

1.
I often do this when I watch a Movie on tv and want to skip the commercial break. After an hour I have enough buffer to skip it.
So I am watching this movie after an hour.

2. I think this bug also occurs when setting the ts-buffer to 30 Minutes for example. I never tried it.

3. Sometimes I pause a movie and in the meantime I am doing other things. If I come too late (when the ts-buffer is filled) I am unable to watch the movie because of this bug.

I think this a serious bug, which has to fixed sooner or later.

Old bug but still seems to be hanging in there. I missed a show today becouse of this. Mine is set to the default. What happened to is that when i tryed to fast forward at the first comercial it just went all the way to "live" tv and there was not mere timeshift left. And it did not fill up any timeshift eather.

And yes MCE just plays tv if it runs out of buffer, mutch better aproach.
