The system cannot even stop Windows Defender

Windows Defender isn't turned on

......... troubleshooting starts by opening up TV Server manual control, starting a stream, and monitoring the counters and signal info... and also opening task manager -> performance tab -> resource monitor to check which processes are using CPU and HDD. You'd be looking for:

• processes that are thrashing the HDD and/or CPU
• any event (eg. process CPU usage peak, signal strength or quality drop) that correlates with discontinuity counter increasing

...........

OK...on this again!!!
In Manual Control....there a 0 discontinuities.....after several attempts at timeshifting (with and without recording!)

Resource monitor shows that CPU processing can be as high as 95% (Processes)....but I'm unsure as to what I'm looking for in the panes available...

So to be clear: the discontinuity counter is now 0 (or not increasing), and CPU is sometimes hitting 95%. Have I understood correctly?
Sounds like a different problem.

Just look for the process that is using the 95% CPU.

.....Now hovering around 35%....with no obvious problems.
Perhaps I could take a screenshot of the relevant window when the problem next occurs?

.....Now hovering around 35%....with no obvious problems.

35% is relatively high considering your CPU, and the fact that you have a GPU that supports hardware accelerated video decoding (DXVA).
Have you enabled DXVA in the LAV video codec settings?

...or maybe the first question should be: what process is using 35% CPU?

Perhaps I could take a screenshot of the relevant window when the problem next occurs?

Sure, screenshot everything. The more the better.

Does this help??[DOUBLEPOST=1430999824][/DOUBLEPOST]....and higher

....Back Later!!!...Thanks!

.....

I had selected CUVID......so have now switched to DXVA2 (native)......will report back if this makes a difference...

I'm about to head off to bed.

Does this help??

Well, it confirms that MP is using more CPU than I think it should, so that is useful. I can't tell anything more than that.

I had selected CUVID......so have now switched to DXVA2 (native)......will report back if this makes a difference...

Yeah, please do report back either way.
...and it would be good if you could confirm whether:

1. You're still having trouble with the glitchy video (?).
2. The current behaviour of the discontinuity counter.

.....after 2 hours approx....noticed pixellation/etc starting....resorce monitor shows:

and literally...a couple of minutes later...


....discontinuities have gone beserk!![DOUBLEPOST=1431041287][/DOUBLEPOST]and literally...a couple of minutes later...


....discontinuities have gone beserk!![DOUBLEPOST=1431041402][/DOUBLEPOST]

look at the discontinuities now!!

 

[mm1352000]

Can you please post a "discontinuities-gone-beserk" screenshot of task manager.

I wonder if it is something to do with Comodo or uTorrent?
