I originally posted this in the dshowhelper development thread, and I am quoting it here. I had installed tsreader 63b in October, and have now reverted to 59c. No logs available, so the report is probably worthless, but here goes. The problem is unpredictable (to me), but may be related to viewing a recording while comskp is running on the program -- some instances I can remember were in that circumstance.

". . . the skip functions are quirky! Sometimes the skip is clearly not the amount intended, and sometimes (I swear!!) they appear to go in the wrong direction! A typical sequence: skipping a commercial, I go too far forward (into the program), and skip back less than I skipped forward and find I've gone too far backward. Skip forward again the same amount I skipped backward and still land in the commercial sequence with many seconds left to go. This is not repeatable, but happens frequently. It may be related to comskp running at the same time, but I haven't figured that out -- what would happen if auto-skip was enabled and the skip-file happened to be updated while being used? I never noticed any such effect before -- only recently."

    short info:

    friends system (DVB-C KabelDeutschland)
    63b ts-reader ---- > fast and smooth channel change (FTA & nFTA)

    salute -
    feedback (sorry no logs)
    that friend of mine just called and told me -
    that since we changed from 59b to 63b - after a while
    tv just stoppes with a blank/black screen and nothing happen anymore.
    that happens not while channel-change .. happens on nFTA and FTA.

    i know that withouot any logs help is very very difficult ...
    so just see it as a hmm info :D

    on my sytem - i don't have that issues
    system are near same hardware (E350)...
    he is using singel-seat
    i am using multi-seat.

    just for short

    best regards

    The changes from 59c to 63b are quite small, so maybe you should try your friend with 59c (and report back please) ?

    Which video decoder is your friend using ?

    Hi Tony promissed report -

    my friend has been out of country a few days.
    so i had not the chance to work on his machine,
    now after he returned . I don't had time (couz work) to change back from 63b to 59b.
    so he just used the HTPC - an what should i say - all fine
    i asked him for the issues - he said all gone .. all works fine.

    so for me - never touch this running system anymore ;-).

    BIG thx again - for the cool tsreader.

    Hi, i have sometimes freezes when i play recorded tv series. Live tv works perfect. Does it make sense to try out One of the new tsreader versions or is this dll only used while watching live tv?

    It's used for both live and recorded TV.

    Thanks Tony,
    i just found the mp log where the error is documented. I have attached it. I think the error is in following line:

    2012-12-03 18:57:59.550932 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: TSReaderPlayer: event:ErrorAbort param1:-2147220950 param2:0 param1:0x8004022A param2:0x0

    Perhaps you can see the issue. But please do not waste much time because i have installed a 1.3 Beta GIT Version.

    Thanks for your fantasic work.

    I think it's an error from one of the filter graph components i.e.' VFW_E_TYPE_NOT_ACCEPTED - This pin cannot use the supplied media type', but that's about all I can tell from the log message.

    I might be able to give you more info if you attach the full set of logs.

    When does it happen - normal play/start-of-play/skipping/fast-forward etc ?

    It randomly happens during normal Play after some minutes. But not always. Very often everything works fine.
    Next time i will save all logs.
