Live tv stops after 1-2 seconds (1 Viewer)

[Sweets]

Hi,

I've taken the plunge from mce to MP, so please bear with my novice problem.

When I start live tv, the channel starts playing normally (a bit slow to start 10-15 seconds) but the video will freeze 1-2 seconds in. Audio and video are fine until the freeze.

If I add a scheduled recording it works and I can playback normally.

Ive spent hours on this, and can't find any solution... I had it working once but after a restart of the app it went back to this problem. Subsequent restarts 30+ times can't reproduce the solution.

All drivers are fully updated etc.

Nvidia 210 gpu. I7 CPU. 8gb ram. USB and pci tuners. Tests in tv server all appear normal.

Hi, one thought might be that your recording folders are on a drive that has space but the time shift folder is almost out of space which is why the live TV stops.

Check both folder locations in the TV server config. Don't forget to check for each TV tuner you have.

The problem seems to be resolved (I think).

It was hard to exactly identifty the problem for anyone else that has the issue but it may have been Drive Bender (software which pools drives together as one volume) - great piece of kit, but may have been a bug in the now previous version

It could have been any number of other things but as suggested by erichzann, it was likely a timeshift buffer problem which I then checked off every permission/space/folder naming problem it could have been. (I moved the folder to a shorter path without spaces and this initially worked straight away.. but then had broken again).
