.ts recording playback not working...

Does this SVN fix the issue of not being able to play back .ts files? This is the fix I'm waiting for... Everything I use media portal for works but that... I'm currently recording in .mpg but all the recordings are stuttering (maybe this should be fixed as well, this bug has been there for as long as I can remember...). So it's not really practical to record live tv... If it doesn't fix it, any plans to fix it in a near future? The bug has been there for several weeks now!

Hey icebreakr,

Are you using a Twinhan card? Referring to this bug by any chance?

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/corrupted_ts_recordings_twinhan_dvb_s_bda-t29082.html

I'm using a Twinhan 1027 and I'm having the same problem.. .ts files are corrupt and won't play in any player, and mpg has "micro-freezing"... slight freezing every few seconds which makes it pretty much impossible to watch. I'm currently running with the new TSWriter that's available for testing and timeshifting is awesome, but recording still isn't functional for me.
Clear your logs, start a recording, let it go for a minute or two, stop the recording, then upload your logs and your recording in the above mentioned bug. That'll help the devs track down the problem. I don't have any time this week but hopefully I can do the same this weekend.
Common consensus is that this is being caused by extra audio feeds being added to the .ts file. I've checked my logs and for a single recording, I have about 6 Audio PIDS being added... not sure if that's normal or not. One thing I'd like to try is using something like ProjectX to edit the .ts file and drop the garbage audio to see if I can watch recorded .ts files after editing. It's an extra step, but might get you somewhat functional and prove the "extra audio" theory. My schedule is packed for the next 1-2 weeks, so if someone wants to give this a go, it'll help towards getting this fixed I'm sure.

Yes I'm using a TwinHan card at the moment... I can record and send a sample with logs no problem, I'll do it tonight... I also tried the latest tswriter without success... That could explain why I don't have the problem on my analog Hauppauge card...

I have a Twinhan Card and recording does not work for me . Curious i am running BDA drivers is there anybody running WDM drivers with a twinhan....and does recording work. ?

 

[pmcguire]

No network clients can stream TV after standby here (local client works ok)

[icebreakr]

I updated the thread https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/corrupted_ts_recordings_twinhan_dvb_s_bda-t29082.html?p=229739 with my info and logs...

Is there a place I could upload the video files?

I noticed since SVN Version 17150, that when my MP Client is idle for some time, the TV Server crash.
Its nothing in the logs.

Its repeatable! When i'm finished watching TV and stop Live TV (DVB-S) or Radio (DVB-S) next day TV Server is frozen.
In the morning (after restart TV Server and MP with Task Manager) i started Radio then when its time to go to work i stop listening and when i'm come back TV Server crashed again.

No errors or warnings in the logs, TV Server crashed silence.

TV and MP are just idle!

scirocco790 post a similiar problem for Version 17180

tvservice crashes after being idle for about an hour. this seems to be a problem with the epg grabber.

Don't know if the EPG grapper is the problem the logs tell me nothing

Can somebody confirm that issue?
