I am having an issue where TV freezes after a few minutes of watching, the picture freezes and the sound stops, this seems to happen in Media Portal and VlC on the initial start, however I am able to stop the stream in both programs and restart it and after that it usually has no issue (doesn't freeze again).
In Media Portal, Tv freezes everytime on first start up, however gui is perfectly responsive so I am able to channel change, and after that it doesn't freeze again usually.
this happens locally and via other client PC's too and with VLC as stated before, therefore I figure it's a server issue.

I have attached a log where I have gone into mediaportal single seat and once it freezes I have then straight away quit out of it, I hope you find it useful!.

I note I have tried multiple video and audio codecs and changed the drive of where the timeshift file goes too.

Hello,

I am having exactly the same problem : when starting TV, it freezes 2 to 3 times during the first 15 minutes I am watching. When it occurs, I have to tune to a different channel and return and then it works.

I am wondering if it is not a network issue (even if server and client are on the same machine) : I have just set up the "MS loopback trick" to see if it fixes the problem. But if it does, multiseat will be impossible.

Let me know how that goes for you?

Well,

Neither MS loopback, neither extending the timeshifting size to 1024 fixes the issue...

This freezing TV is jeopardizing Mediaportal use as mediacenter at home...

yeh it is the only real problem im having with media portal right now, what tv tuner are you using?
I am thinking of trying a different tuner.
