Work-around: Set process affinity to one CPU

See https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/showthread.php?t=14951 for details - this has fixed the problem so far for dgtalzone and me - more testing is in progress...

Update: See next post...

Microsoft Hotfix KB896256 (Dual-core timing fix)

I have now installed Microsoft Hotfix KB896256, and done some testing.

It seems to have improved this problem but hasn't fixed it completely - the error in the recorded duration is now much less (e.g. 21:15 for a 20 min recording), and may be related to the length of the recording. Testing continues...

It has had no effect on the problem with turning timeshift off, discussed elsewhere...

Update: Applying the complete patch (including the registry fix as specified by MS, and an extra switch in BOOT.INI, neither of which I had done previously ) has completely fixed this problem for me. I am now running with the affinity fix turned off and have no problems with either time-shifting or recorded duration.

Nice work TesterBoy! I've been setting the affinity so that MP runs on just one CPU for some time now and it works fine. I'll get to applying the MS Fix soon.

So - my duration problems (and fast forward etc) seem to have gone away. Anybody else tried this and also seen the problems go??
