Well, title says it all. It happens everytime I switch channel. I have searched and viewed multiple threads and users with the same problem, but I couldn't find a solution for Vista x64.

Attached the logs.

Thanks!

Hi Olafett

I had the same thing up until last week when I changed my audio codec from ffdshow to AC3Filter. Every time I changed channel it would either replay the last 10 minutes of the program and stick on that channel or just stick on the original channel, either way I had to stop TV service and then restart it to get the channel to change correctly, now completely cured, don't know if you are using ffdshow at all but worth a look.

No luck with AC3Filter for me. But the problem seems to be exactly the same.

EDIT: OMG!!! I fixed the problem myself. At the end of the log you can see written in swedish that my timeshift folder could not be found. I checked the path and the folder did not exist (Shouldn't these be created by the TV-server!?) I manually set the timeshift folder to one that I did know exists. I also noticed that my two tuners used different timeshift folders along with different recording formats. Changing all the paths to the same and changing recording format for both tuners to *.ts made the timeshift work as supposed. As a bonus my time for changing channels decreased from 15 seconds to below 1 second!

Yay!

Hmm This is a pig of a problem...

All I did was to change to AC3Filter and that was it all cured, I was not even trying to cure the fault when I did it I just decided to try out AC3 Filter on my system to see if its any better than ffdshow, mind you I replaced ffdshow with AC3Filter in all of the parts that use it, i.e. My DVD, My TV, My Video's etc , I hope you find an answer to your problem I know it drives you crazy.

Just had a thought, my codecs are:- MPEG2 = Elecard MPEG2 with dxva enabled, H264:- CoreAVC, Audio Codec:- AC3Filter and Audio Renderer:- Default Direct Sound, hope this helps.
Another problem I was getting, every time I went to the EPG or if a banner came up onscreen then the sound would go "slow" i.e. drop in pitch so that women sounded like men and men sounded like bulls, if you see what I mean. All these problems started for me when I upgraded to MP 1.0 RC4, on a clean windows re-install.
