Hello,
I have been tackling freezing problems for nearly three weeks now. Symptom is as follows (not consistently reproducable):
- View live tv (in preview window).
- change channels
- Go to epg
- go back
- system freezes completely requiring a hard reboot of the PC.
I have also got this when:
- Navigate folders to view video (divx)
- View a video
- Go back (video still playing in small preview window)
- View a different video
- Go back (video still playing in small preview window)
- Navigate to live TV
- system freezes completely requiring a hard reboot of the PC.
Sometimes it happens quickly and sometimes you can spend several minutes until is reoccurs.
I have tried numerous things I read in postings including:
- Updating to latest SVN
- Reinstalling everything
- Installing FFDShow
- Checking "use exclusive directX" on and off
- Installing Windows Media Player 11
- Removing all codecs and reinstalling a codec pack.
- Selecting different video renderers in the configuration (DScaler and Cyberlink).
- Modifying hauppauge settings to VMR7 in Primary (although it doesn't seem related to hauppauge since I get this when vieweing video, too).
- Reduce hardware acceleration in display properties
A few additional words about the symptom:
- Typically freezes and then gives a black screen.
- Sometimes receive a few seconds of stuttering repeating noise from sound card
- Sometimes see white vertical stripes before it goes black.
- Very rarely even received BSOD with MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION
I have so far tried out various other HTPC software and liked mediaportal more than any of them (however, they seem to run fine). I hope to be able to fix this, so I can go on using MP rather than switching to evil alternatives such as MCE.
Attached is the debug-level log files. Any ideas will be deeply appreciated.
