I am having issues with TV playback and recorded TV playback. The video is pixelated, lip sync is off, and the video/audio skips or repeats like a broken record. I had the issue last week, I changed from the LAV codecs to Microsoft DTV codecs. The problem seemed to go away after restarting. This morning the problem resumed. I checked and the codecs are back to LAV. I do not know if that is an issue but I am mentioning it in case it helps. This happens using analog, QAM, and the set-top box. All regardless of channel. It also happens when playing recorded shows regardless of when the show was recorded or the channel recorded from. I am attaching all logs from this morning zipped directly after the problem occurred.

I also noticed that WMC starts randomly but I don't know if this is causing an issue or interfering with MP. Again I just mention just in case.

Hello hootie318

This happens using analog, QAM, and the set-top box. All regardless of channel. It also happens when playing recorded shows regardless of when the show was recorded or the channel recorded from.

Sounds to me like you may have some kind of security software - Windows defender, Microsoft security essentials etc. - scanning the MediaPortal and/or TV Server program, configuration, timeshift and/or recording folders while you're trying to use MediaPortal. This would be causing some significant stress for your hard drive(s).

Can you confirm?

I do have anti-virus. It is a possibility I have not thought about. If the problem occurs again I will check there first and report back. Thank you for the suggestion.
