I have the TV server and Media Portal installed on this PC. I also have several other PCs that connect as clients. The problem I have does NOT affect the client PCs and it only occurs when watching TV via the PVR 150 card. This problem occured on my old media PC and the one I have just built. When im watching Live TV via the PVR 150 it runs perfect for about an hour but then the picture just freezes. However I can still skip back into the timeshift buffer and rewatch the last hour of TV. I have discovered that when I start live TV the time shift buffer file is created normally. It then continues to add buffer files until the maximum number allowed is reached (i.e. default is 20 files) at this point the TV just freezes and the first buffer files are not being overwritten. To check this I set the maximum number of files to 4 in the TV server setup (general settings/timeshifting). As soon as the 4 buffer files had been created the TV froze when watching from the local PC. when watching via my laptop the buffer files worked correctly. To over come this problem for now I have increased the file size of the buffer files to 512MB and also increased the maximum number of files to 40 but i still have to remember to turn the TV off and back on again after about 3 hours to prevent the maximum number of buffer files from being reached. Does any body have any ideas what might be going on here. I realise that log files will probably be needed but im not sure if its the TV server logs or Media Portal logs that are required. Should I delete the existing log files and create fresh ones when replicating the problem. Are there anythings that I should be aware of when creating log files (e.g. settings in config such as watchdog enabled and log verbosity setting) Im fairly competent setting up Media Portal now but im afraid im not that familiar with the logs or which ones are relevant - I guess now is a good time to learn so any tips would be appreciated.
