Zapping, RTSP improvements ( test plz ). (1 Viewer)

[Owlsroost]

This is a fix for evr ( my be lip sync issues )

But, for those using ReClock, the internal normal delay for audio samples in liveTv ( received to play ) is around 100~200 mS.
I do not know exactly what ReClock does, but I'm afraid it causes problem in liveTv. This could be solved adding programmable option delay on audio. This will increase channel time change.

Hi Ambass,

Just done a quick test with the modified tsReader.ax - not noticed any A/V sync problems so far (using FFDShow audio decoder).

But I have found a problem.... If I accidentally select an encrypted TV channel, MP hangs - I think it's trying to display a 'Yes/No' dialog (in windowed mode, the window title bar indicates this) but the screen is blank and I can't escape from the situation - I have to quit from MP. (I don't have de-cryption software/hardware installed).

Logs attached.

@disaster, mironicus

I've just retried in singleseat and mutiseat, frw to begin of timeshift buffer resarts playing at the beginning...
ffw to the end coninues liveTv...( also checked with skips to begin/end buffer )

Are you sure all the files are replaced.. ?

Singleseat / mutiseat or both ?

Tried disabling the CAM, and also with CAM and unsubscribed channels... I got the box message from MP. No hang. Not sure it could be related to the changes.

I also get the message box even if screen is drawn black.

Just reverted back to standard 21720 - it does the same thing, so it's not related to the changes.

I've done some more testing - if I allow the encrypted channels to be shown in the TV Guide, it behaves correctly (shows the dialog etc). Previously I had the encrypted channels un-ticked in the 'TV Channels' section of the TV-server configuration, so they could not be selected from the guide, but could be selected by typing in the channel number - this resulted in the no-dialog problem.

i'll try to reproduce this with again and write a detailed report. At the moment i'm using the version you send me not the one which includes the EVR fix but this is not related - i think.

Just found another problem.....

I have a twin-tuner DVB-T setup.

If MP is recording from a channel, and I then skip between viewing a channel on a different DVB-T 'mux' and one on the same (as the recording) DVB-T 'mux', the TV-server doesn't appear to delete/re-use the timeshift buffer files for the tuner being used for the recording - it keeps creating new ones (until the small 256MB ramdisk I use for timeshifting runs out of space, when the 'live' TV just freezes). It looks like all of the 'sets' of timeshift files are being actually being updated (the file modification times stay in step).

Logs and screenshot of the timeshift disk files attached.

does anybody else has problems with fwd / rev while timeshifting live TV on external client? For it jumps suddently to the end instead of the time i selected...

I also have problems with Fwd/rew within Mediaportal.

If I rewind and reach the beginning of the timeshift file, Mediaportal freezes.

Yes I'm having too..
This is a multiseat configuration.. If I Skip fwd or back MP freezes (log atached) and also FWD/REW has the same problem

Is there any posibility to launch it with the "best of" content ?

I am just searching for a solution for the "black screen symptoms on DVB card change"...

Can someone point me to the right area please?

I am completely lost here.

Thanks for your guidance in advance.
