Hi there, lets me explain the issue :
MP 1.1.0, win XP, core2duo 7200
2 pinnacle PCTV Hybrid pro dual (3010ix) cards
obviously dvbfix patch applied.
from my beginning with MePo i had one of these cards, no problem at all, both tuners were ok. When going to mp1.1 i added a second card (then 4 tuners)
What happens :
After some time (about 1 hour), not depending of how many tuners are in use, i get "squares", then it goes bad an bad and video freeze... it lasts maybe 2-3 second not more ! I just have to stop all tuners use (stop live tv, stop all recordings) then i can go again with no problems.
Be aware that the issue is not only when watching tv, it comes when a tuner is used for too long. Then i tried to only schedule some recordings. When watching at these the next day no problem at the beginning (about 1hour) and then they go wrong (i tried with other players)
Then, for hours, i tried each card on each PCIe port and all is OK as long as there is only one card. Once i forgot to delete tuners under tv serveur config (then 4 of them were under tv servers but i only had on card in the machine), and then i get my issue... it seems MePo does have problem with 4 tuners or so
I disable epg grab on each tuner, and then i do not know what to do after that... not even the beginning of an idea...
Any idea please ?
thanks a lot
