After upgrading from v1 to v1.0.1, Live TV was working and I then watched an avi file. When it finished, I tried to go to Live TV and got an error "Unable to start Timeshifting, no free card available".

Closing and restarting MP didn't make any difference. Stopping and restarting the TVservice fixed it.

Hi,
Can you set log level in MP Configuration -> General (Log Level) to debug & test again & attach those logs?

Regards

Hi,

Will do, if and when I can reproduce the problem, which I don't seem to be able to do at the moment.

There is a problem with LiveTV not working after resuming from standby unless I manually stop and start the TVservice, but I'll start a separate thread for that.

Have you enabled the delay detecting TV cards under TVServer config\general !!

Regarding the first problem, try having 2 separate timeshift folders, this seems to solve the "Unable to start Timeshifting, no free card available" for some users.

But logs always good as Roy said

Ah, thanks. Setting a delay seems to have fixed the problem after resuming.

If the "no TV after playing media" problem pops up again, I'll try using two timeshift folders and post back with logs if that doesn't fix it.
