There seems to be a problem with dropping frames when playing LiveTV or videos, if EVR is used.
Many users reported this issue in the SVN threads and this thread should be used to nail this issue down.
Everybody that has problems with video/audio AND has dropped frames in the EVR.log please post here with the following info:
- Observed symptoms: Short audio dropouts druing LiveTV
- When are the symptoms observed: During LiveTV, sporadically bugt mostly after 1-2 hours of watching
- What cures the problem: Restart MP. Stopping LiveTV is not enough.
- Dropped frames in EVR log: yes
- TSReader setting in TV section regarding dropped frames: not checked but has no effect for me
- Timeshift folder: On separate SSD that is only used for timeshift
I get a lot of the following lines in my logs:
The first question is why frames are dropped, when they are not (=0ms) behind?
The second question is why frames are delayed sporadically?
My experiences are that the frames are delayed e.g., if a new timeshift file is used.
Attached you find a screenshot of my timeshift directory. Approx. every 5 minutes, a new file is used and the EVR log shows also every 5 minutes some bigger frame delays... Don't know, if this is connected...
I have also uploaded my timeshift files to the ftp directory "TS dumps"
The audio dropouts seem to happen, if the delay of the frames exeed a certain amount.
If it occurs again, I will post more logs.
