    Hi,

    just got this strange issue.
    From time to time when reentering myTV it starts flickering.
    I can do several recordings manually and scheduled, but fom time to time when
    resuming MP and go to myTV, the TV-Screen is flickering.

    I need to close MP and restart.

    Tried first with Nvidia codecs, but now it even happens with MPV and MPA codecs.:(

    Regards
    Ralph

    I think I have the same problem. I´m not sure, but maybe it´s related to the timeshifting buffer. In my case TV stops flickering, when I once press pause and then let the stream play again. I don´t have to close and restart MP.
    I own a PVR 250 and a DVB-T card. The problem is worse with the DVB-T card.

    Please try to pause TV and let it play again. If you get a perfect picture after doing so, we could be quite sure, that there´s a timeshifting buffer problem.

    Does your problem exist even if timeshifting is off ?

    please test again with BlueTwo.

    if this is still hapenening i suggest a clean install of MediaPortal + latest SVN.
    :D

    btw. you have extensive logging on for PowerScheduler. you should disableit, it produces a huge log ;)
    not needed if you are not looking for a hibernate realted bug.
