This is a repost of thread 36481 (https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...ter-tv-channel-changing-there-no-sound-36481/)

It was suggested I should repost it as a possible bug under TVserver. At certain times of the day I find I get no sound when changing between channels. This happens almost every night for me after I switch between news services. I suspect it's just the combination of channels and media types. I feel the problem can be seen in the logs particularly tsreader.log at 19:06:12.869. This is when I believe the channel change (described below) to SBS occurs and tsreader fails to detect the audio... I feel the stream is fixed when I seek to the end at 19:06:56.119. Here you see in the log tsreader sync audio and video!

Original post/descirption below.

Ok, I've finally got an instance captured in the logs. I fired up MP and tuned to Channel Nine.. watch for about a minute then went 'x' to the TVGuide and selected Channel SBS.

The video switched but no sound came through via AC3filter. After about 60 seconds I hit the 'right arrrow' to cause a seek to the end of the stream. The audio immediately came through. I'm hoping this helps locate the streaming and/or codec issue. Setup as above.

Hi!
I have not tested cyberlink powerdvd for a while, but today I did. Running TV-server svn18560, and seeing the same thing. When running dscaler or Nvidia decoder there is no problem.

What I do see is that we are using same motherboard and the same driver for sound...

Hmmm,

Interesting feedback. Thankyou tompa.

I switched from nvidia to cyberlink because nvidia screws up handling progressive channels here in AUS. I guess I need to consider other codecs...!?

Any reason why you aren't using the same SVN for both MP and the TVServer? I thought it was advisable to keep them the same or you may have troubles...

 

[tompa]

In my case its not the issue, I'm using the same SVN for both server and client.

I use the latest available SVN each week when I upgrade for both the TV Server and MP. They are often slightly out of sync.

I'd just like to say that this 'IS' still an issue. I don't believe it's a code issue as I've seen it using a number of codecs. Maybe the devs (when they can.. I understand they're busy) could look at the traces and my comments when they get a chance.

Thanks

Same problem here... and when jumping forward / backward. Every other time there's no sound. Don't think I have the problem with ffdshow.
