Hello,
Well it's apparently my turn to suffer from stutters. Nothing has changed in my box for months, I have been quite happy with MP1 RC2 (no SVN applied). Plenty of space both on the OS drive and on the dedicated timeshiftbuffer and recordings hosting drives.
The channel bundles on the cable here have changed, and with this has come a major problem. In 4 of my about 80 SD channels, the live TV is a slideshow of about 1 frame in 3 seconds, with no sound. If I start recording those channels, the resulting file works perfectly in MP and in VLC. But watching it live just doesn't work.
I gathered the logs (here attached) and found troubling evidence of audio errors.
I swapped the MVA codec for ffdshow, and I was able to watch one of the probematic channels correcly, but without sound... On the other 3 problematic channels, the slideshow was about 2 images/sec, without sound. Again, recording those channels produces a very normal recording.
All the other channels (SD and HD work) as they should. I can also watch those problematic 4 channels completely normally with my DVB-C set-top box. I rescanned all channels, I get a very strong signal in both tuners, no problem there.
Interestingly, we have DVB-C radio here as well, and I have never been able to hear a sound from those channels.
I am puzzled, any suggestion ?
Thanks, Lorenzo
