Hello all!
I have been having a problem with Mediaportal Rc2, specifically TV Server 1. When I am watching Live TV, Media portal freezes and does not respond. I cannot change channels, I cannot close the application, I cannot turn off media portal. Media POrtal just freezes,

I have tried using the MYTV plugin, and I am able to watch tv, and switch channels with no problems whatsoever.
I have tried installing the newest svn and this does not fix the problem. I have also uncecked update epg when idle and this still did not resolve the issue.

I installed both the client and server on the same computer.

ANy ideas on what else i should do?
I have attached my log files as well.

Anyone have any ideas?

Not really a great help to you, but FWIW mine does that as well. It used to do it very occasionally with the old TVEngine2, but since I installed RC2 with a single-seat TVServer setup it's really terrible - sometimes it'll run fine for an hour, other times it'll crash every ten minutes. My system is pretty similar to yours (A64 3200 with nVidia FX5200 graphics), although I'm using DVB-S rather than analogue tuner.

I think the problem is to do with the playback because I've never had a problem with recording - in fact, when it crashes the TVServer carries on in the background recording away quite happily, so I reckon only the client is hanging.

Good luck, and if I find anything I'll post back - sounds like we could have the same problem. I've posted my logs on here but nobody had any ideas what was going on.
