Hi,

I've had this problem for awhile now. I'm using latest SVN, multiseat TVServer setup. When I try to seek -15sec, the info bar shows -15sec but the stream pauses then continues on live TV. If I do press the left arrow button a few times, it usually does the same thing but eventually will timeshift back. I've attached the logs, I turned the TV stream on, waited for around 45-60sec, and then attempted to seek -15sec. I had to do it 4-5 times before it worked. The last timeshift in the logs is the one that worked.

I changed the timeshift directory to C:\MPRecording as can be seen in the logs. I also tried increasing the timeshift max size to 512MB per a recommendation from one of the devs but it didn't help.

Has anyone been able to reproduce this?

Yep, no problem reproducing this. It happens on all my multiseat clients, so its not hardware related. It also happens when using both PureVideo and PowerDVD 8, so its not codec related. It has been a while since it worked smoothly (at least as well as could be expected), but I never got around to reporting it.

... I can confirm this too - using tv server and separate streaming clients - as TritinT described it.
Edit: Using latest codes - appears since several SVNs, don't know exaftely since when ...

Upgraded to RC2 and still have the problem. Posted another bugreport in the RC2 forum.

Guzzi and TritonT, post your logs in the RC2 thread.
