What the heck are you doning here so early?
It's weekend (at least in Germany).
Time for a break.

Thnx, it works well. i like to test a little bit longer and give you more feedback.

OK I've everytime problems switching from german "ZDF" to german "VOX". Everytime i try that i see the old ZDF EPG and then ZDF is stuttering or runs in an loop and VOX never comes up. Logs attached - in this test i also had to switch two times from RTL to ZDF before switching to ZDF was successful.

I have made more tests with version "Improvements_21793" (and svn21813).
What i have found out is that the problem with picture freeze come only on channels with AC3 Audio. If i switch to a channel with AC3 and the picture freeze or stuttered and then i press the forward timeshift button the prictures starts to run, and i can normal show the tv channel.
i hope this can help you to improve.
In my mediaportal setup i prefer the AC3 Audiotrack and i use the MPC Audiocodec.

could you tell me why in tsreader.cpp the length when running in rtsp mode is only updated when the graph is in running state? When in non rtsp mode it is also updated when in pause state.

rtsp:

              // Is graph running?
              if (m_State == State_Running)

non-rtsp:

          // Is graph running?
          if (m_State == State_Running||m_State==State_Paused)
          {

I could fix my channel change problem by reimplementing the following lines of code in rtspclient.cpp which you've remove - then channel change from ZDF to Vox is working again:

  if (diff <20 && m_fStart>1 )
  {
    m_fStart=dur+5;
  }

perhaps - you've a similar problem as myself. Could you try my attached tsreader?

Congratulations !!. This is the best reader i have tested before.
Zappingtime in Multiseat around 1 and 2 seconds. Pause and Play again without stuttering. No microstuttering in LiveTV.

Each channel works fast with AC3 or without.
Forward and Rewind works very well.
Radiozapping works well too.

THNX a lot.

I make a longtime test now.

When I use differt audio codecs (PowerDVD/ MPA/ Arcsoft/ etc) I always have on or more of the following problems:

- Channel with no picture and only sound
- Problem when switching from SD <-> HD
- Problems with AC3 streams

The only audio codec which give me no problems at all is the:

Microsoft MPEG-1/DD Audio Decoder! (Vista)

It switches from SD to HD quickly and perfectly and no problems when switching between 'normal' audio and AC3. I use it for all my videos, DVD and TV watching and it works perfectly.

So maybe someone with problems can test this?

Now I hope they can fix the stutter on x264 TV channels soon and I'm a happy man

Just my 2 cents.
