    Hi @Sameritan you have to disable the logging of the IPTV part:

    In addition to disabling plugins as previously described, you could try changing the log level to 0 (none) in c:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\MPIPTVSource.ini.

    Thanks for your reply.I saw some post about changing Log level a while ago.
    I have already changed the log level to 0(none) in c:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\MPIPTVSource.ini.
    It did not help. No anti virus is scanning it anyway. I added it to exception from anti virus scan.
    Is it what you mean by that i have to disable the logging of the IPTV part?
    Today i deleted MPIPTVSource.log in c:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortalTVServerLogMPIPTVSource.log
    But TVservice.exe recreated it.
    Or perhaps MP IS made not to zap as normal as what we are use to.
    My first experince whit MP. Started with PM 1.18

    I think, if it is recreated, that it still logs into the file?

    Hi mm
    Below is some log files.
    I will appreciate if you can help me with this issue.
    I saw some post about changing Log level to solve delay during channel change
    I have already changed the log level to 0(none) in c:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\MPIPTVSource.ini.
    It did not help. No anti virus is scanning it anyway. I added it to exception on anti virus scan and windows defender
    Is setting log level to 0 = disabling logging on the IPTV part?

    I deleted MPIPTVSource.log in c:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortalTVServerLogMPIPTVSource.log
    But TVservice.exe recreated it.
    Or perhaps MP normal zapping is about 8 to 9 seconds?

    @Sameritan
    Please don't start any more new threads or repeat your comments in other unrelated threads - it's not needed or helpful. Also, please note that I am in New Zealand (so there is a big time zone difference), and MediaPortal is a hobby. Answers will come if you are a little more patient.

    Is setting log level to 0 = disabling logging on the IPTV part?
    Yes.

    But TVservice.exe recreated it.
    Ignore it. The file can be created and empty.

    Or perhaps MP normal zapping is about 8 to 9 seconds?
    Not usually.


    It seems that you have assumed that the only reason for slow channel changes is the IPTV source filter log level. Such an assumption would be wrong.

    The log shows that TV Server usually changes channel within ~1.5:

    So, the delay is not with TV Server or the IPTV source.
    You should start by configuring your codec settings. :rolleyes:
