[QUOTE="abhansali, post: 309329, member: 82909"] just some more info - I read about Shift - 1 and I did this and I'm getting an avg fps of about 7-8. This is very low and explains the "slow motion" feel. I've been playing around with this a lot and I think it has to do with the fact that there are 2 processes accessing the same timeshift .ts file at the same time (Tvservice doing the write, and MP client doing the read). I did the following experiment. Set the timeshift parameters so that each file is only 20MB and have up to 200 files instead of just 20. Now start MP client and then pause live TV. wait for about 15-20 seconds (which is more than the time it takes to create the next timeshift file) and then unpause live TV. So now MP client is playing back the older .ts file and the TVservice is writing the newer .ts file. Now avg fps increases when I do shift-1 and playback is noticeably better. Finally audio is often getting out of sync I search and read about the buffering that has been done in mpfilewriter (since this is analog card), but I tried the mpfilewriter.ax file in those threads and it did not help. Can I get a poll of anyone on this board that has made HDPVR work with MP with an avg fps that is 25+? If so, please post how you configured it to work. Apurva [/QUOTE]
