Hello,

I am using MP 1.0.0.0 on a clean Win XP SP3 system, and still have severe problems with the stability of TV Server. This is what happens:

Once I turn on a H264 live TV channel, MediaPortal almost 100% sure hangs and needs to be closed via Windows' Task Manager. If I restart the program afterwards (no windows reboot), I am unable to activate live TV. However, MP lets me watch any type of videos without problem, even H264 videos.

Logs are attached. The sequence of operation was this:
- Start MP
- goto Videos, play mpeg2 video, stop, play H264 video, stop
- goto TV, watch live SDTV, stop, watch live mpeg2 HDTV, stop, select H264 HDTV channel
>>MP hangs
- kill MP vith Windows task manager, collect log files
- restart MP and watch all kinds of videos


MediaPortal seems to hang less often when EPG grabbing is disabled, but thats a vague impression. However, as long as I don't use live TV, it is 100% stable and I can use all combinations of DXVA settings with no problems in stability or picture distortion (even mpeg2 DXVA is fine). Same is true if I play my videos in the PDVD8 player. So I think the graphics driver is fine.

Something must affect the TV Server.

Any ideas what to do?

Perhaps of use to you:

I had a problem with BBC HD and DVB subtitles crashing MediaPortal. Switching them off in MediaPortal Config solved it.
