I have been having problems with freezing video and loosing the end of recordings. In an attempt to debug, I switched from .ts to .mpg. Now I cannot play recorded programs on my client.
One difference that I notice playing old (pre-switch) programs and new are these lines from the MediaPortal log:
2008-12-30 12:40:19.921875 [Info.][MPMain]: TSReaderPlayer: open file: rtsp://192.168.2.10/6CD4AD7B

2008-12-30 12:40:38.781250 [Warn.][MPMain]: VMR9: Pin: 0 not connected: 80040209

2008-12-30 12:40:38.781250 [Warn.][MPMain]: VMR9: Pin: 2 not connected: 80040209
And these from TsReader:
30-12-2008 12:40:20.140 [868]New channel found
30-12-2008 12:40:20.140 [868] video pid:0 type:ffffffff
Previously I did not get the "not connected" error, and the type would be valid rather than ffffffff.
I have verified that the stream is correct as much as possible. For example, I can play the stream in question (rtsp://192.168.2.10/6CD4AD7B) in SMPlayer. This seems to rule out a server issue.
The symptom is a black tv screen that seems always paused (no time elapses, although I can scan through the file). It also takes a long time (15-20 seconds) to start playing. Before the SP3 upgrade this delay was after the black screen appears, post SP3 the delay is now before the black screen appears. MP is unresponsive during the delay time (in both cases). After the delay MP behaves normally, and I can exit just fine.
Live TV is not a problem.
I have searched for similar problems, and the only thing that looks somewhat related appears to be fixed by not using rtsp (which I prefer to continue to use).
Any ideas appreciated. Log files attached (client and server).
