Changing channels = buffering - boke - 2012-10-26
If I change channels while already watching another channel more often than not I get a buffering message. Sometimes it will go away and the channel will work, other times I get audio only. Sometimes nothing at all.
If I press stop before changing channels everything works fine.
I have the same problem with NPVR if I choose some decoders ie LAV. ffdshow works fine though.
Does anyone else have this problem?
I have two hauppauge wintv hvr-1250 tuners.

Same here.
I am unable to switch between channels directly.
Furthermore some channels will just show "buffering" message and nothing happens.
Third thing is the spinning loading screen where nothing happens. When i press stop XBMC freezes.

Hmm, maybe see if this update helps: http://forums.gbpvr.com/showthread.php?52932-live-tv-timeshift-and-other-changes&p=444915#post444915

The update seems to have fixed it. As long as I have time shifting enabled the channel changing works.
RE: Changing channels = buffering - Lucleonhart - 2012-10-27
You are right! the NShared.dll patch was missing for me, not it really works as far as i tested!
One question for timeshifting. When i pause and resume after half a minute, it works perfectly! Then i approach an ad and would like to fast forward the timeshift file. Is this possible?
Using "right" to jump 30 seconds does not work. So i used fast-forward which results in a choppy frame by frame view.
I think timeshifting is too new for this, hm?
Awesome work @ all!

Sorry, I'm not understanding something.... where do I put NShared.dll?

Npvr folder under program files. You will have to overwrite the existing file.

Thanks. Strangely, I still don't get TimeShift on LiveTV -- though I did check the box in the addon settings.

If you can post your xbmc.log, I'll check.

Will do. I'll post it tonight!

Here's my xbmc.log. After starting LiveTV, I tried several times to pause, skip ahead and skip back. All of which were unresponsive.

You'll need to enable debug logging in Settings -> System -> Debugging, then post the logs again.

Sorry about that... here's the full xbmc.log:
File is too big for pastebin, so I put it in my Skydrive... https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=BD4D5AF880635184!1763
A funny thing happened. I hit pause a few times, as well as the left and right arrow. When I pressed the up arrow, the video froze and rebuffered. Not sure what it was trying to do there....
RE: Changing channels = buffering - sub3 - 2012-11-07
Thanks - though I found I cant tell from that log. Can you also post your NextPVR web.log file?
RE: Changing channels = buffering - FernetMenta - 2012-11-07
sub3, sounds like the demuxer is not able to get properties of video stream (no SPS). Do you send an I frame as first packet after a channel change?
