[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1068365, member: 82144"] Hello and welcome jickler :) Thanks for the log files and the system information - can't tell you how nice it is not to have to ask. :) So, we have the classic continuity errors in the TsWriter logs. This means the problem is a TV Server problem; nothing to do with playback (MediaPortal). Most common causes of these log entries are: [LIST=1] [*]Poor signal quality. [*]Stressed HDD. [/LIST] There are other causes like overheating components, but they tend to be much rarer.
