Just cleared all my MP stuff again, installed fresh client on desktop computer, and fresh tvserver on htpc.

tvserver setup finds channels, everything works, tested with vlc, streams fine

then i startup the mp client and nada, it freezes for almost a minute on "tvstartup"
then it brings the info on the right channel, along with correct epg, but no picture or audio

zapping channels freezes mp for another minute, this time the channel name changes but epg is wrong

the tvserver itself changes channels nicely and starts timishifting when the client zaps, the client just wont view anything

edit: now mp froze so i had to kill it, this after zapping

and there is NOTHING going wrong according to the logs, everything works, i just dont get picture or audio...

edit2:
ok just noticed, the tvservers log is full of "dvbendPmt failed cam flags: false" and i dont even have a cam

other than that none of the logs have any "errors" or warnings

I get the same entry in the tvserver log as deebo. the same 3 lines ower and ower again 10 times every second. Nether I have a CAM.

But I can start whatching the timeshifting streem and the picture and sound is smooth. My problem is that I can not change channel at all.

Reason for me posting in this thread is that we have same TV tuner deebo and I. If it is not ok for me to post in this thread let me know and I will post my own support thread.

Update:

TV server 11519
MP SVN 11519

Still unable to change channel normally. When watching the current stream in fullscreen I manage to change channel by doing the following:
-Change channel
-go back to myTV main window
-stop TV
-start TV
-go back to fullscreen
-jump back or forward 15 seconds
now the new channel starts

(I also have to jump back 15 seconds in time when I turn on TV the first time to start the picture).

Next I will try to update the TT budget BDA driver and see if that is the problem for me...

Updated the TT budget BDA driver and the results remain the same as above when it comes to the channel switching.
Will try the latest SVN when I find the time.

I have the same problem as you - some times it's hard to start the TV and change channel.

I seem to be having this same problem as well.
Also all recordings are 0 size.
Timesifting works, streaming works, watching TV is OK but chanching channel freezes image and sound. I have only once seen "no image/audio" -message. Usually it doesn't give any message, just freezes TV-image.

I have included logfiles created with MPTestTool after tests:
* Turning TV on, chanching channels without turning TV off.
* Chanching channel by first turning TV off, then selecting new channel
* A recoding scheduled to start recording during test period.
