Live TV Prblem (1 Viewer)

[Branksome]

I have a sudden and unexpected problem today with live TV. To try and correct, I have run the SQL DB correction routines and also rebooted but the problem persists

I start MP, select TV. It then takes a prolonged time (about 1 min 45 secs) before the TV menu screen appears with live TV (a BBC HD satellite channel). Typically, the sound will be out of synch. I select the TV in full screen and change channels (press OK to bring up a list of channels and then select). This then takes about 45 seconds. Typically the sound may be out of synch and frequently the sound will drop completely after a few seconds

I can then return to TV in the small screen and press OFF. It is then taking about 12 seconds to go off.

I have repeated this test in debug mode and attach the zip file

I would be grateful for advice

Thanks Owlsroost for a very fast reply.

I do have a working network connection and the IP address of the HTPC is fixed. I haven't changed any firewall settings. The problem came to light after I had set the recordings schedule for next week. There are 3 tuners. One records to a NAS drive

Please have a look at:
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/mediaportal-vs-microsoft-security-essentials.124689/

Windows Defender/Security Essentials seems to make Problems since yesterday. I disabled the Windows Defender Service and everything works now.

Thanks ph4r4o

I have now followed the advice in that forum and excluded certain folders from the scan. That hasn't changed anything for me probably because I haven't yet installed February Windows updates

I am quite surprised at the changes I am experiencing because I only use the HTPC for MediaPortal. Last night I also noticed that when playing back TV recordings, on pressing the info button I get the info bar for the previous programme I watched even though that might have been recorded from another channel. Pressing stop and restarting the playback corrects this issue

But thankfully, recordings and playback otherwise appear to be OK which is the main thing for me
