[QUOTE="bowlofpuddin, post: 669826, member: 26661"] Ok, I would officially like to call this a Bug. Steps I have now taken since my last post Reinstalled windows XP (have also tried everything with windows xp pro, and home editions) side note on that first step, the tuner (pinnacle 800e) does have windows media center drivers, I installed them, and windows media center works with my tuner. but after about 10 minutes of live tv, the video stops working and I have to hit stop, then resume to get video back after a fresh windows install, I installed all things required to run mediaportal suggested on the install instructions. installed windvr for the software encoders did a channel scan (it picked up all my channels) opened mediaportal, navigated to live tv mode, tv plays, for about 20 minutes then sound and video freezes *head scratching* The "TV center" program that comes with the card works, but is absolutely terrible in almost every way, the EPG is a joke, and the gui isnt remote control friendly (why bother including the remote with the tuner) I have also tried Cyberlink PowerCinema That software works good with my tuner, watched tv for at least 30 minutes, no freezes however I do not want to use that software. I think I have tried every other media center application and have yet to find one I like that is: A)free B)Open for adjustments the way I like C)plugin friendly with plugins to do just about everything I've been able to think up so for a recap, everything works perfect in mediaportal with my tuner, until about 10-20 mins of live tv watching, then sound and video come to a hault. Am I using the wrong software encoder? Is there a way I can use the Pinnacle software encoders that the "TV Center" software uses? Can I change which software encoder mediaportal uses at all? perhaps with graphedit? (which im about to fiddle with some more) Is there some bug with the program that is making my dreams of the perfect media center just out of my reach? (which is what I think the problem may be, big sad face on that one) So whatever it may be, if theres any of the software devs out there looking, I need some help here, pretty pretty please make your software work with my tuner. below I have "attached" my logs, and a big hug for anyone who can help me firgure this out. And not just for me, for all the other unfortunate pinnacle 800e sufferers out there like me. **ok I just went to open mediaportal to replicate the freezing problem, now it says no audio/video detected, So here are the logs pertaining to that problem, If i can replicate my problem I will repost with those logs** [/QUOTE]
