    Hi Everyone,

    I've a problem with watching TV on my machine. I've TV Server and client running on the same PC. I can watch TV for a time normaly and everything works. Then from time to time the TV play simply stops. I can then revind back and forth, but the tv never goes beyond the last point it stops.
    After that happens i have to restart the pc in order to watch again. Restart of MP and the TV Service doesn't help, if i then turn on tv i can only watch for some seconds until the problem occurs again.

    What i tried:
    I loocked at the logs but there is no entry in error.log (both for TV Server and MP Client).
    Checked the available disk-space, which is not the problem (several GB free).
    After the error happens i checked if i can watch TV with Windows Media Center, which works fine.

    The machine runs on Windows 7. Prior i used MP on this machine on XP for some years and never had this problem.

    I hope that someone can help me with this.

    Thanks in advance

    I have the same problem here.
    First I thought it might be the buffer file size - changed it - no luck. I consider also the "turn off hard disks" in power options in my tv-server. Have to test it, though.

    I have the same problem with Windows7 and Mediaportal 1.1.0 final Tv stopping while watching or recording with no log error
    It seems to occur on some channels but not all of them. I have problem with ARTE HD and France3 SD channels.
    The same problem happens no matter which audio or video codec i use.
    I also can watch those channels with Windows Media Center.

    I look at all the log files (Debug mode) and the only thing at the time when the TV Stops is in mediaportal.log :
