Bug: Why does connecting to active stream call IRSS to change channel again? (1 Viewer)

    I've written about this a few times, but never get a response...perhaps someone here can explain this to me...

    Description
    I use an external satellite-box that is changed via IR-Blaster using IRSS and I noticed that when I connect to an existing TV-Stream from one of my clients that my channel changes again to the same channel it was already on. Changing channels on an external satellite-box using IRSS usually results in a channel-change bar from the satellite-box flashing on the screen. Now if I was recording at the time I have to edit all my recordings to cut out these bars and ultimately I also get gaps everywhere I have cut these out.

    Should it not function as follows?
    1) Connecting to an existing TV-stream from clients should not result in the channel being changed again....I mean the stream is already active why would IRSS change the channel again?
    Or
    2) At least that when a recording is active, that IRSS should not change the channel again because it creates interruptions in the recording.

    Bump....

    Please refer to the following thread that I logged in January 2009 already.....

    https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...ation-flaw-i-can-do-without-51745/#post353592

    In the above thread I had response from Roy who thought it looked like a problem with the IRSS plugin.....

    To recap on the previous thread....this is how to re-produce the problem....

    1) I think the following happens because I have only one TV-card….

    - First I schedule a recording for example on channel “Discovery” to start in 10min…

    - Now I watch another channel, for example “Fashion TV”, while I’m waiting for the program to start on “Discovery”.

    - At the scheduled time for the recording, I get a message popping up that states “Time shifting stopped due to a scheduled recording”, after which my TV goes black.

    - If I want to continue watching TV, I now have to go to ‘TV Streams’ and connect to the recording stream.

    2) Now this is what screws up my recordings on a regular basis.....

    Let’s assume we continue on from where point-1 above stopped… the recording has been running for 30min while I was outside playing with my dogs…

    - My TV is black because of point-1 and I decide I’m going to connect to the “Discovery” TV-stream so that I can watch the show.

    - As soon as I connect to the TV-Stream the channel changes again in the middle of the program. To clarify this, I’m busy recording the “Discovery” channel, therefore my TV-Card and Satellite-decoder is already on “Discovery” , but as soon as a Client connects to the TV-stream the channel on the satellite-decoder is changed again giving me the 2sec channel-change delay, and the information-bar from the satellite-decoder flashing again.

    - Now at watching stage it is just an irritation, but when I watch the recording afterwards I get this 2sec delay and flashing information-bar in the middle of my recordings.

    What makes this issue even worst is that I have a separate client setup in my office so that I can watch TV from there, which means that sometimes I have 2 or 3 flashing information-bars in my recording from every time a client connects to a TV-stream.

    I hope that something can be done about this.....

    Wow I just created a thread about this very same behavior. Now 2 1/2 years later... did you ever figure out a resolution to this?
