Had the same problem (clients freezing upon playback of TV (or recordings) with no apparent reason, no error in the server log).
The fix alone didn't help, but disabling any EPG grabbing helped.
Always at the time I tried to start playback, the epg.log on the server showed something like this (stopped watching at 1:13 a.m., tried to start watching at 8:08 a.m.):
Note: The TVServer was running the whole time.
Had to kill and restart the service, then it would work again until I shut off one client (always use hibernation).
