[confirm] RC5: Live TV doesn't work (can't play live3-0.ts.tsbuffer) (1 Viewer)

[Claus]

Clean RC5 install. Trying to tune to a TV channel I get the error messages: "Can't play live3-0.ts.tsbuffer"

I Ran in debug mode - logs attached.

Please help - Thanks!

The same problem

Then please post your logs. That way we can actually work out if there is any common factor.

Alternatively, I can go back to watching my TV, which is working perfectly ;-)

MediaPortal should listen to a specific ip-address instead of the "auto" setting
MediaPortal TV Server Configuration > Streaming Server > Settings > your LAN-IP

Hi,

I think this is a different problem, and hopefully I am correct in saying that a fix has been found, and watch this space.

Does this happen with just one channel or all channels? Does it happen everytime?

Can you try selecting different codecs for MPEG2 and H264 video and see if that makes a difference?

YES!!! I had the same problem--been puzzling over it for days! Changing the Streaming Server IP address from Auto to the machine's LAN IP address did the trick. (BTW I'm still on RC4.)

Wondering why this has this never come up before, using MP for almost 2 years now? And, curiously, I have a virtually identical machine running at my father's house, and it does not exhibit the problem even though the setting is on Auto. Hmm.

After several days of uninstalling/installing and trying different things I managed to get it working (sort of).
* Like Larzon I also changed to fixed IP
* I disabled IPv6
This helped a bit but the system was still very unstable, so I:
* Uninstalled completely again
* Uninstalled MySQL (and deleted the MySQL folders in ProgramFiles and ProgamData)
* Ran the 1.1RC5 installation as administrator
This helped a lot. I think something was wrong in MySQL and this was not fixed when doing full uninstall/install

Later I updated to RC6 still OK ... but then suddenly, after changing channel, the live3-0.ts.tsbuffer error again!

After a reboot things were working fine again.

But then today, I experienced several times that the TV playback is freezing. I hear a Windows Alert (Ding Dong) and then few seconds later freez. I even got a Blue Screen ones (In Win7!)
I will report this new bug with log in a new thread

I'm not quite sure, but I think I had the very same issue some month ago. Since I inserted the line 'myisam_recover=BACKUP,FORCE' into my.ini (ini file of mySQL) I haven't got the problem anymore. I inserted the line after 'myisam_sort_buffer_size=64M'.

Before you'll change the my.ini file save the original one under a new filename. I hope it helps

Thanks for you input Eagle. I tried it, but it made my TVServer failing (Not able to connect to database)
Restoring my.ini and a reboot got my system back.
