I'm not sure what happened, but some time in the last few weeks, live TV has stopped working. (Cant remember when exactly i upgraded to RC6)


I get massive delays in the UI - sometimes I press a button 10 seconds before the UI responds.
I can still record live TV, and I can watch recorded TV, but I can not watch live TV.
When I try to watch live TV, MP just freezes for about 10 seconds.
If I try to watch live TV a second time, MP stops for a few seconds, then displays "No free card available"


I've tried a couple of things:
- Noticed some blank codec selections in MP Config -> Codecs & Renderer -> TV Codecs. Set them to cyberlink
- Disabled recently installed pluggins (namely Online Videos)
- Installed SAF v4.00 - didn't seem to help, but i've left it there
- Tried this dll - didn't work, so i rolled back to original dll.



I had a bit of a look at the logs myself, but i'm a nub... that shared memory error looks nasty though.

Logs were generated as follows:

* Delete all logs
* Restart TV Service
* Run MP
* Attempt to watch live tv 3 times
* Close MP


in advance. The Community Rocks!

Update: I've done complete uninstall / re-install of MP 1.1.0.0. The problem still exists.

Strangely, although I deleted the db during the uninstall, I didn't get prompted to install the db again and/or enter in the UN/PW.

Aside from that everything seemed fine during uninstall / reinstall.


Same problems all exist;
- Large delays in the UI
- Cant watch live TV
- etc

Aside from a windows reinstall, anybody have any wild suggestions?
