This happened once, late last night, have not repeated for test yet, but thought I'd post it anyway.

Was watching one recorded TV program, and when done, started a second recorded program. The program started, but the GUI did not switch to video display, the RecordedTV screen was frozen.
- I stopped the recorded program with the remote and I could hear live TV playing in the background (I had initially gone to RecordedTV with live TV playing in the video-overlay), but the RecordedTV GUI was still there, and stuck.
- I stopped LiveTV with the remote (blind, as the yes/no dialog did not display). The display changed to the TV Home screen and was functional.
- I went back to RecordedTV from there and tried to start the program over again, but an error message dialog came up telling me the codec was wrong- or missing (I don't remember)
- I exited MP and restarted, went to RecordedTV and everything played correctly.

I haven't been able to get it to happen again.... yet.

Still trying.

2BitSculptor, looks like TsReader has been seeking long (most likely something odd in the TS file timestamps). Only way to investigate this issue is to provide the TS file.

alas, the wife deleted the file when she was done watching it.

I'm on the look for it to happen again, though, and will grab the TS file off. How does one provide a TS file to check?

thanks
