[QUOTE="mindm49907, post: 1088310, member: 148634"] Hello to everyone, I have been using MediaPortal (a. t. m. 1.7.1 with Windows 7 64 bit) for nearly one year from now, and would at first like to thank everybody involved in creating this great media center solution! I appreciate MediaPortal very much, but there's one thing I never could get to work satisfactory: When watching Live TV, the picture hangs once in a while, sometimes crackles while hanging, and after that, continues to work as normal. I analyzed this behaviour via "Shift+1" (I still don't know the name of this tool :)), and I could figure out that this, when watching HD TV (ZDF HD from Germany), happens after every approx. 7000 frames. When watching SD TV, the error (at least iI think of it as the same one) also sometimes appears, very rarely though, but more often if the quality of the TV stream is higher (e. g. the channels governed by public law in Germany have a higher quality than some others, and in my case, are causing stuttering more often). This happens no matter if the refresh rate of the TV the HTPC is connected to matches the displayed media's frame rate or not. I am also able to record multiple programs simultaneuosly using my Silicondust HD Homerun Twin Tuner (I already did the troubleshooting recommended on their website), and also measured my network performance to exclude errors of that kind: everything is woking as expected. Also, playing HD videos from HDD never caused any problem. This leads me to the question if my problem maybe memory-releated, or more precise: timeshift-memory-related. For timeshifting, I once bought a 16GB USB 3.0 Drive, since I didn't want to accidentally write my drives to death, especially not my system SSD. But now, I do not really know how to move on, and how to further locate the error. Can someone of you please tell me how I can proceed troubleshooting, or - even better :) - give me a hint or even a (possible) solution to my problem? I would also like to provide logfiles if needed, but I don't know which ones would be helpful. Thank you very much in advance! Greetings, mindm49907 [/QUOTE]
