Hmmm i use RTSP Streaming ??? I dont have enable it ? Any Idea why it is on on my system ?

You have a separate MP client/TV server setup - MP normally uses the RTSP protocol over your network for TV server -> client TV viewing.

The problem is that the mods I've done to the graph re-building code don't seem to work properly in this situation, so I need to try and work out why....

Tony

Thnx, and nice vacation for you and your family.

Tony, i'm closer now. Found out that it's an signal/stream interuption from which it cannot recover.
I tested with last tsreader and selected as 264 decoder:

ffdshow DXVA Decoder => freeze, audio continues
ffdshow Video Decoder => total Mediaportal crash, windows crash message, audio continues
Cyberlink Video Decoder PDVD10 => continues but image totaly distorted
Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder => continues, slightly distorted for a split second but continues clean and nice.

What should i do?

1. Use the Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder for now (as it's the most reliable in handling errors, from your tests)

2. Check that the 'don't drop discontinued packets' option is *not* ticked (in MP configuration somewhere) - this will give you maximum protection from stream corruption.

3. I'd be interested in seeing the logs

Is it better using the standard 1.2.0RC TsReader.ax ?

One last version to try before I go away, just in case it might help with the RTSP problem....

Yes, I have a single-seat installation.

Tony, i'm a littlebit ashamed as you did hard work for maybe nothing as your sugestion nr 2 made the difference. I had it ticked as it said to reduce stuttering. After i removed this option the freeze of the picture while using ffdshow was gone. Corruption slightly visible but no freezing. The team should remove this option i think. As it gives more trouble then pleasure.
Results of the tests after that:

ffdshow DXVA Decoder => slightly distorted for a split second but continues clean and nice.
ffdshow Video Decoder => slightly distorted for a split second but continues clean and nice.
Cyberlink Video Decoder PDVD10 => no distortion but slight freeze for a split second but continues clean and nice.
Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder => slightly distorted for a split second but continues clean and nice.

Great! This is the mod i was looking for ! I'm really happy!
Thanks Tony, now my combination 4tr+mediaportal nearly runs perfect

Some people get better channel change speeds when the video decoder / hardware can itself decide when it can renderer the stream and some decoders that are mainly ment for the DVD playback (were no errors basicly happens) are struggling with it.

So we shouldn't remove that option, only make

1) more obvious what it does
2) turn the name around - it is always bad to have some option as "don't do something...". Negations are always bad for understanding

... Negations are always bad for understanding

the same could be said for developers and the code they write.
some are pessimistic while others are optimistic.
which one do u prefer ?

var pmtReceived = IsPMTreceived(subchannel);
if (pmtReceived)
{
....
}
else
{
....
}

var pmtNotReceived = IsPMTnotReceived(subchannel);
if (pmtNotReceived)
{
....
}
else
{
....
}

I haven't ever understood the urge to use var in any code. Makes code much harder to read on quick look (need to check what the method really returns, who knows if it returns integer and it is used in if statement )

Fact is, that Tony's change in the tsreader code makes the tv part of Mediaportal really usable. I was looking about 1,5 years for that. And I'm happy about it.
