This are my results.

I'm on multisite configuration, Vista Ultimate + EVR+ Ms Codecs
1.- Channel changes are good,no problems so far, but I litle more slow
2.- I have schedule a recording. Ones the schedule is started if I go to the channel I get and Option to "Play from the begining or Play from current position"
.- If I play from current position if fine, works, but I can't go to the begining
.- If I play from the begining I just see blank Screnn, no audio no video

I have add the logs

I've been trying a few releases lately with no success, finally decided to post my problems. I can't pinpoint what has caused the issue because I built a new HTPC.

I can't scan channels in the current version of TV Server. It just tells me it fails. I've had other versions scan with this hardware. I've tried multiple tuners, a Fusion HDTV Lite and a Visionplus. They both scan in their respective programs, and the normal MyTV plugin will happily scan the Fusion (it's the only one I tried). I was even able to watch TV in the normal program.

I've attached my logs. My system is as per my specifications. Obviously my TV Server and SVN versions are currently as per this release.

If you need any other info let me know and I'll help out as best I can. I haven't included the client logs because I've not gotten that far with the current install.

Cheers,
Nathan

I upgraded to this version today and TvServer service just crashes. The TvClient says that it can't start time shifting. TVClient/MP was also upgrade to this same release.

If I try to Preview a channel in TVServer Setup it also crashes the service.

I still have problems playing back recorded .ts files and I'm still getting stuttering in recorded .mpg.
Seems like TvService in crashing more often.
