Live TV playback a little slower than broadcast (1 Viewer)

[styrsven]

I have a little issue with live TV playback. When I watch it, it is slightly slower than the broadcast, so after watching for while I can skip forward until the present, and after a while I can do it again.
The playback is smooth, and I can't see on the playback that it's slow, it's just that it is that is disturbing.
I have MP 1.10, and tried to follow the "Perfect playback" thread to the best of my abilities.
My only guess is that this might have something to do with having my Samsung TV in Game mode in order to keep the perfect pixel scaling (setting the TV to "just scan" doesn't survive a reboot), and this locks the refresh rate to 60 Hz, while the TV signal is PAL.
Any hint on this would be much appreciated.

Does the problem only affect live TV... or does it affect other media too?

Please use the watchdog with option 1 or 2 to collect full log files showing the problem, then post those log files here.

I've had this problem for quite some timebefore reporting it.
I just updated to 1.11. And from what I can see, the problem has disappeared.
Unless I stumble upon this problem again, I will consider this problem solved.

I spoke too soon. It is still there, but not as much as earlier.
I started the watchdog with option one, watched one channel for approx. 20 minutes, and at the end i could skip forward two whole and one partial 15-second steps.

I don't know if it only affects Live TV. It's just that Live TV is the only place where I notice it.

Please could you try to check/test.

Also, I notice that you're using the MediaPortal audio renderer for TV. Please try to use the default DirectSound renderer:

Well, actually I wouldn't know how to check that, apart from with Live TV, where I have a directly accessible reference, and it's easy to see if the issue exist. Besides, I'm only interested in this issue regarding Live TV. For other media sources I really don't care, as I don't notice it, even if it exist.

Trying DirectSound renderer was a success. It solved the issue for me. Thanks!!
