This is a continuation of this thread. As I have discovered the actual (most likely) cause, I have posted to the relevant forum, for future users, to locate easier, if required.
The crux of the issue: I have been experiencing major buffering, of LiveTV viewing, & often freezes/hanging of MP {ver. 1.24 & 1.25 -at least}. sometimes requiring a hard-reboot of the HTPC.
During the discussion, on the other thread, I noticed, one night, that the partition, housing the MP Recordings' folder, was running at 100%. I discovered this when alt+tab(bing) between the two applications, when I was experiencing the buffering.
I then went & changed the recordings folder, to another drive -external HDD- & the drive activity became normal, with no viewing issues. Once I returned the folder to the original location, the 100% activity returned -see attached image
.
According to Windows tools, there were no errors found, on the partition, housing the original recordings folder. So, not sure what to look for.
I will attach logs for records with the LiveTV recordings folder to both locations, to see if anyone can notice an obvious (for those with the ability) reason, when the issue does represent itself. Sometimes it is intermittent.
The records show no issues when playing back, from either the videos section, inside MP, or using another application, like MPC-HC.
Any assistance to get to the bottom of this would be greatly appreciated, as I really need to reset the recordings folder back to it's original location, but only if I can get it sorted. Thanks.
