Maybe some can remember from either the forums or back on irc I had some trouble with the TVE3 engine, it would be highly unstable for me, and there seemed nothing related to it.
Even from SVN to SVN the amount pf problems changed to some degree and it was difficult to put a finger on the problem.
For the record these were some of the problems I was experiencing:
* Sudden loss of signal
* Random channel crash
* MP crash on changing channels
* Black screen on changing channels
* Hang on changing channels
* No audio/video found
* Either only audio/video playback
* Slow on changing channels
* No playback of recorded streams
* Pretty random errors related to subtitles/channels basicly anything related to my tv
The problems were hard to track, especially as TVE2 worked rockstable without any noticible problems for the same channels from the very same source.
After responding in some threads the folowwing solutions/problems were discussed:
* wlan problem
* tsreader problem
* broadcaster may not stick to the standards
But using TVE2 I had no problems except I would not have dvb/subs, so it could only have been that, beet even so it still should be able to make mp crash right?
Well the best chance I found would be wlan, as wlan has irregular times it would remake contact with the access point.
But after comparing the problems with some mrtg graphs I couldn't relate any problems to the stability of the wlan connection, it was a 1seat install so why should it use the wlan connection in the first place right?
After a lot of searching and thinking I decided to check on mssql, as I followed the descriptions in the video to make sure I wouldn't mess up somewhere.
Checking the logs proved usefull, the problems matched in timestamps!
How could this be? No clue but it seemed it lost connection to the database time after time after time, basicly the only error I found.
So as I had seen before mp is able to use mysql instead to, did this I solved ALL of the above problems instantly!
This might require some investigation by someone able why all of this happened in the first place.
But I got more!
* Changing channels is much much faster now, little over 1 sec!!!! on dvb-c yes!, encrypted no fta!!!!
* mysql has a much smaller footprint, +/- 34 less mb in use now i9n task manager!!!
* ALL problems were instantly solved!!!
* Mysql is much easier to install than mssql, you could save you a lot of steps, basicly a standard setup works!!!
Well this is my experience after weeks of searching and researching, I hop it proves usefull and I'll link all topicsI responded on with a link to this topic so people will find this topic when they got the same kind of problems, it might just save them from the hell I went through!
