Compress TV recording locks GUI upon changing menu (1 Viewer)

[ziphnor]

Hi,

I have a strange problem with yesterdays and todays CVS version. I wanted to try out the Compress option in recorded TV. I failed to get Xvid encoding to work so i tried VMW and MPEG-2 instead. The funny thing is that the encoding starts(the file is listed as Busy) and everything seems okay, TV playing in the background works fine and i can navigate around the Compress menu. However, as soon as i do anything at all to return from this menu, the display locks up completely(sound of background TV keeps running correctly though).

Here is the log file contents leading from me entering the compress menu to the compression starting:

So far everything is working, and now i press a button to back to the main menu:

6-12-2005 19:25:25 window:MediaPortal.GUI.TV.GUITVCompressStatus deinit
06-12-2005 19:25:25 texturemanager:CleanupThumbs()

Now the display/menues is locked/stuck and the only thing i can do is to use the Windows Task Manager to kill MediaPortal.

This is definetly a GUI problem. If i after starting the compression hits the Live TV button on my remote, i succesfully get to Live TV, however any attemps of navigation from there will also lock everything up. It seems that any attempt of changing to another GUI windows screws everything up. Ive update to the latest CVS build which didnt help.

Is this a known error, or am i the only one suffering from this problem? I would appreciate any reply, even if its just "works for me" or "same problem here". Because if its a known error there is no reason to keep bitching about it
