Hi Guys,
As some of you will know I am in the process of switching to a central media server. All disks for storage of movies etc are now on the server, but the HTPC in the lounge is still handling the live TV as that is where the cabling for aerial and sat dish come into the house (this will change in the next couple of weeks though as I re-route the cables).
I have started getting odd behaviour on the unit in the lounge.
Last night when watching a recorded TV series the playback would freeze after 20 seconds. No sound, just a still frame of the recording on screen. After 30 seconds, this would start to play the audio, and the video would act as if in fast forward to catch up with the audio. This playback is from the server. I was watching Frasier and then changed to Father Ted to see if the problem occurred again - it did.
This morning I have been having live TV freeze. The only way to get out of this is to press 'stop' on the remote which goes back to the main TV screen. After this I get "No Free Card Available" popping up when I try to select another channel. No Free Card?? I have six tuners in there! This playback is from the HTPC itself. I started watching 'Sky News' at just gone 10:45 and then the freeze was about 10:57. I then shut MP down to look at the logs.
I have attached all logs... I have had a read through, but with my limited knowledge it doesn't mean much.
Any suggestions???
