I have installed the TV server on my desktop PC, and while testing on a client laptop, I noticed freezing of TV channels. To exclude EPG interference, I disabled EPG completely. This didn't solve the problem, but it seemed to prevent the TV service from completely locking up (requiring and "end process"). I narrowed the problem down to the TV server, noticing that when I start a timeshift in manual control, everything seems to go well for a random amount of time (signal level and signal quality > 80), after which the signal level and quality fall to values < 5, coinciding with the freezing of the image (the timeshift buffer file stops at that point). The log shows nothing peculiar at first sight, everything seems normal up to the point where my manual stopping of the timeshifting is logged. When I watch the same channels on a different program (like DVBdream for instance), everything works well, which seems to exclude hardware or driver problems with my DVB-S2 card. I can watch live TV for hours via other software, on any channel. Since the problem exists on the TV server and time shifting, is it safe to conclude that this is not a codec issue ? I can't seem to change any codec settings on the TV server anway... I figured that by using the timeshift I could exclude video card and codec problems ? I also checked my event log for errors and warnings, but found nothing on the exact time of freezing. There's ample disk space and RAM. After several evenings of trying to find a solution, I'm getting pretty desperate and frustrated. TV server log is in attachment, the last entries describe the latest freezing. I waited several minutes after the freeze before stopping the timeshift, to distinguish that event from other possible events in the log. Thanks for any help or input, Phaedra [/QUOTE]
