TV works good, Radio still ...

DVB-S TV & channel is change good with this release.
Switching to DVB-S Radio while TV is on crashes MP
Switching from Radio to Radio takes very long: abt. 2sec. silence, then several seconds previous channel, then silence, then again old channel(1-2sec), then finally new channel.
Switching from Radio to TV takes very long: 5-8 sec silence, then TV channel but audio only (LED off). Pressing TV-on brings picture as well.
(same with new TSWriter.ax)

many, many issues at the moment....

here is my list of issues i have with this and the svn´s of the last week:
- autostart of tv does never work, has to be activated manualy every time
- tv has to be started 3 or 4 times from main menu until i see a picture
- mtv germany has picture but no audio
- tvservice crashes after being idle for about an hour. this seems to be a problem with the epg grabber.
- after switching from running tv to music and start a title, the title starts to play for 3 or 4 seconds and stops. then i start the title again, and the music is playing
- if i want to change radio channels (dvb-s) i have to stop them first. otherwise mp does nothing.
- switching from radio to tv results in the same as reported by gregorv
- switching from tv to radio crashes my mp too.

these are the bugs i have atm. if these things can be fixed mp will work perfect for my needs.

No video/audio - problem with pmt

Hello everyone,
I am new to satelite users, and also new to TV server. I have problems with this SVN, and also with previous, I did not use TV server before. My problem: after starting TV service I can view previews of any channel in TV server configuration without any problem, anytimes. But after trying to turn on this exact channel in MP message "Unable to start timeshift - no video/audio deteted". Also preview in TV server configuration raises this error then. After restarting the TV service I can again see previews of any channels.

checked the MTV issue from scirocco790:
MTV shows picture with no sound, picture stutters with NVIDIA decoder and with DScaler it is just a still picture.
TV-Autostart confirmed -when selecting TV from main menue then TV channel is switched on for a half second and then off.
Switching from TV to Music also confirmed. Selecting a music file (MP3) does nothing for about 12 seconds (TV continues, MP seems frozen) then music starts for 2-3 sec. and stops. After that selecting/playing music OK.

Nice to read that a mp installation of another users behaves exactly as mine.

You don't happe to have power shemes in use where hard disk spinning will stop after some idle time?
I do have Mediastore (on RAID5) on production HTPC and for some reason changin channel on TV requires to spin up RAID before channel is changed. It does not take 12 seconds, but quite long time when comparing to normal channel change.

 

[scirocco790]

No, no hd spindown or other power saving mechanisms are in use.
