If its half decent AV it will block any changes a external program tries to make to it
OK. Its so much better now. Some rtsp channel switches still takes 3-4 seconds but UNC now only takes 1-2 seconds
i tried both v45 and 1.2.1 and 1.2.1 i still a little faster.tony
Any specific logs/tests you would like from me?
regards
Jacob
It would be wise to block the MP installer from completing the installation when it detects a precense of any AV (not audio video
) software. Those aren't anythign than trouble makers when it comes to the video playback quality. Havent seen any nicely behaving AV software ever.If you ask from me there is no real reason to keep any AV software on HTPC - unless you are adventorous enough to surf on the dark side of the net.

I totally agree.. AV doesn't belong to a HTPC setup..It would be wise to block the MP installer from completing the installation when it detects a precense of any AV (not audio video

one exception though - ppl running tv server which serves multiple purposes, like web, mail etc. these would normally benefit from AV software.
but ofc. one should be aware of the latency they undoubtedly introduce.

Hi Tony ,
i want to share my experience with the last versions:
v41 run ok on cabled htpc client and finally it fixed and made rock stable rtsp tv on my laptop wifi client
before v41 rtsp can't be used from my laptop just UNC mode, ok on cabled clients
v44 same as v41 seems a bit better on both wifi and cabled clients
v45 run ok on cabled (but i can't see any sostantial improment on speed on channel change) , but on my laptop wifi client it makes MP working in a silly way, very often is impossible watch tv: the client after some hang with no video/audio says tv service lost, but on server there is the channel tuned and streamed until i close mp on client. Sometimes it works as aspected. It happens both with UNC and rtsp
coming back to v44 all turn ok
i'm adding the logs of v45 and v44

I could not agree more. The thing is that my tv server also holds a bounch of other stuff. Webserver, Fileserver, Virtual box server. Its also located in the basement where all my tv signals are terminated. From here I have network cables running to all the rooms around the house. If the tv-server was part of a singleseat setup underneat the tv in the livingroom i certainly would not have AV software on it.

Is the v45 log for when it hangs ? - the log looks OK (a few continuity errors, but nothing else strange I can see). Can you post a full set of logs for when it hangs ? (I need to see what's in the other logs).
Tony
i thought yes, but as soon as i will able to reproduce issue i'll send you again more specific logs.
just in case i see those continuity error also in the cabled clients even they are on gigabit lan

Can you check the server logs for continuity errors (the TsWriter log is the one to look at, I think).
In theory, using UNC paths should be as reliable as single-seat i.e. it shouldn't be possible to get continuity errors due to network problems (and UNC works OK for me with server and client both connected with WiFi - which should be a 'worst case' performance situation).

I have followed your work and finaly deceide me for a testrun, and I tested the v45, it work pretty well on live tv and sd, but on a test drive to an recorded hd tv episode mp crash at once, it working with vlc and the orig 122 version. se my ts log file.
hope this helps in your development.
