Live TV freezes intermittently on Beta1 & SVNs (1 Viewer)

[x4mer]

I've noticed a telltale sign that the TV is going to freeze.

I have the minidisplay plugin enabled, using a Soundgraph IMON display. In the advanced settings, I have "use bottom bar as progress display" enabled. Under normal conditions, upon selecting a channel, the progress bar would fill from left to right, & stay like that while watching TV.

When using rtsp mode under a recent release, the progress bar will sometimes act erratically, jumping between 0% & 100% (and various values between). This happens fairly regularly when a channel is first selected. If it lasts too long, before becoming stable near 100%, the TV playback will freeze. It seems as though the client side is having a problem building up a usable "buffer".

try disabling the mini display plugin (just to make sure that it itself is not causing the issue you are seeing -> being a different issue than the most of the people are experiencing).

I tried disabling the minidisplay plugin today, and still got many freezes during this evenings TV viewing (resolved each time by a -15sec skip).

The plugin's odd progress bar activity under recent SVNs, appears to be a symptom of the problem, not a cause of the problem.

I also have problem with live tv, but just on a client and only when a change channel, do you think that it's the same problem as in this thread.
I have tried to watch on a client and then change channel and the pic i freezing but when a look at the same strem with vlc it works.
I have logs in another thread

I also get a lot of this

Hope someone can look into this.

Are you using latest SVN public build ?

In this test it was the svn from 09-26-2009.
I saw in another thread that its maybe fixed in the latest svn, so I will test that one.

now I have tested the last SVN and I still get the same error, I can look at the stream in VLC and see the channel change, so I dont think that there is any problems with the server. If you need logs, let me know, but I dont think they will give any more info, looks the same as those i have linked to in the above post.

for me it works with latest svn no livetv freezing anymore

livetv just freeze on client for me, on server it works.
That was not true, livetv freezes on server to now.
Two more logs from the tv-server and MP running on server.

It seems MUCH better under the 831 SVN. It finally did the freeze last night (resumed with -15 skip) for the first time since installing the SVN when it came out.
