Hello and welcome Chris

ok.. so here is whats happening.. So if i tune a channel say any channel like 40 for the first time audio and video works fine. Then if I press stop and start the same channel again I get no audio.. If i start another channel I have audio and I can go back to the other channel (40 in this test) that didn't have audio it again works fine.. This happens ever time and repeats..

Okay.

Is this a known bug?

No.

Please tell me what logs if any you need to try and help me solve this problem.

All of them!
Please use the watchdog tool to reproduce the problem:

In short:

1. Use the debug mode link in your start menu to start MediaPortal.
2. Go to the TV section.
3. Start channel 40.
4. Stop channel 40.
5. Attempt to start channel 40 again and let it error out.
6. Start channel not-40.
7. Change to channel 40.
8. Close MediaPortal.
9. Post the zip file which was created on your desktop.

Awesome instructions and thank you for the quick reply.. here is the logs.. only I had already started channel 40 so when i first started it there was no audio like the description in my first post.. So I started channel 40 (no audio) then channel 41 (with audio) and then channel 40 (with audio) and stopped and try channel 40 again and no audio..

Thanks Chris

TV Server and MediaPortal seem to think the audio is present. I wonder if this is not a codec issue. Have you tried (or could you try) alternate MPEG/AC3 audio codecs?

[chris4824]

yes.. I have tried every video and audio codec combo I have and still nothing.. I am updating my tuner drivers now to see if that helps but it works fine in Nextpvr and sagetv so idk..[DOUBLEPOST=1391989662][/DOUBLEPOST]nope.. that didn't help..

Hmmmm. On a hunch based on a past thread I vaguely recall...
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/cannot-play-either-abc-digital-radio-stations.98952/

I see you've got ffdshow installed. Try that with the MPEG audio decoder library ("MP1,MP2") set to libavcodec, not libmad.

I'd also recommending installing and trying AC3Filter if you haven't already.

 

[chris4824]

Didn't work.. I have reinstalled klite codec pack and reset all codec to default. reinstalled mediaportal. installed ac3filter and still doesn't work. playing the live3-0.ts.tsbuffer1.ts files in another player plays no audio either so its like the audio isn't getting recorded..

 

[mm1352000]

Gotta say I'm stumped. That is very strange.
Are you able to upload a short (30 second recording) that doesn't play audio. I'll try to find some time to analyse it.

 

[chris4824]

Im lost too

 

[mm1352000]

Okay, thanks Chris

It looks like that is a timeshift file rather than a recording. In any case, it appears to contain an audio track. The audio track is silent for me here using VLC on Linux (at work).

Does this problem only happen with specific channels (eg. channel 40), or would you be able to reproduce the problem with any channel?
I ask because I see there are slight differences in your tuning details for channel 40 and 41.

Note the audio source is "tuner" for ch 40 and "automatic" for 41. Normally I'd recommend to specify the audio source (ie. use tuner not automatic), but maybe your tuner works better with the automatic setting.
