Sporadically, LiveTV just stops.

If I look into the TsWriter.log, I can see the following lines:

I have set the min. to 5, the max. to 7 and the size to 256MByte. The issue mostly occurs, if the 5th file is created...

Logs attached.

Hi,

I'm having the same problem - LiveTV stops, creating same errors, sometimes after an hour, sometimes after 2.5; always happens if leave on long enough, and always within 3 hours. Will recreate, and post logs later in day

Thanks Jeditrav. From the logs it looks like you are having the same issue as me.

Now we need a dev to look at those.
However, my logs are there since 2 days and nobody has looked at it. I don't know why.

If anyone else is having this issue, please post here. Maybe in some point in time this thread gets the right attention...

Devs are busy to get 1.0RC1 out, please be patience.

I'm having this problem too with RC1. So, I guess it isn't fixed yet, or maybe caused by something else.

I have the updated MPFileWriter.ax because of another problem I had (Unknown error-message).
