[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1061883, member: 82144"] Thanks! :) ...and to be 100% sure, you also restarted the MediaPortal TV service after doing that, right? (The setting change most likely won't take effect until you do that.) It does not hurt to increase the setting. You could try 5000 or even 10000 (10 seconds). Okay. Jason from Silicondust told me tuner locking and unlocking does depend on the API: [LIST] [*]libhdhomerun gives complete control over when you lock and unlock the tuners. You can arbitrarily lock or unlock the tuner at any time. [*]When using DRI/RTSP, the tuner is automatically locked when you tune (CAS service SetChannel action) and unlocked when the RTSP TEARDOWN is received. [*]The ICMP unlock is a backup for cases where the application doesn't directly control the tuner (eg. UDP streaming to VLC). [/LIST] TV Server should not be relying on the ICMP unlock. In your example: if a recording finishes, the tuner should be freed immediately. Anything less than that indicates non-optimal operation. Normally changing firewall or other settings after a tuner is locked shouldn't make any difference because TV Server does not periodically attempt to unlock. The only attempt TV Server intentionally makes to unlock is when the tuner goes idle (ie. when the recording finishes). My guess is that your tuner is unlocking when you take the firewall down because the tuner suddenly realises that it is streaming into a black hole. Nobody is listening on the other end of the stream. It unlocks via the ICMP method. Note again that ICMP is not the preferred way for TV Server to be unlocking tuners. I think you're a little mixed up here. The log section you've posted is from MediaPortal's TV Server main log file, not from Argus... but you're right that the tuner should be unlocked when you see that section. Based on the "user=ArgusTV78" section, I think MediaPortal and XBMC are both going through ARGUS which is in turn in controlling the tuners via MediaPortal's TV Server. In other words, I don't think it would matter whether you use MediaPortal or XBMC. That would be great. :) Happy to help. :) mm [/QUOTE]
