I have a strange problem - just wondering if anyone has a suggestion. (or has seen it themselves)
If I start to watch an HD Channel, sometimes, it seems to take a long time before I get a complete picture. It seems like I'm waiting for a keyframe and before I get the keyframe, the picture is complete garbage, including images from a previous show, perhaps seen days before.
It doesn't happen with non-HD. in fact, I don't think it even happens when the HD broadcast isn't 1080p, but really it's most strange.
Usually, I have to stop and start playback a few times before it works - maybe I'm too impatient, but it seems to take a good few seconds while I hear Audio and see blocks, green bits and old images, before the channel I'm tuning to displays properly.
Super strange is that I can be watching an SD channel, but the bits of image that it shows on the HD channel when it's trying to sync is completely different again.
eg, kids watching telly today - I switched to BBC HD and saw an image from the closing scene of the Jubilee concert from last Monday night.. - so a week old image. - Not sure if I had watched any other TV broadcast HD content since then, so that could just be the last 1080p broadcast played.
I'm using a Geforce GT-520 card, if that makes any difference.

InoD,
Does the latest OpenElec have support for myth pvr and myth .25 or does that need to be built? If I need to build this my self can you give me some pointers?
Was going to try and do openELEC over PXE, I am afraid running mythbuntu/xbmc on a thumb drive may be causing the delays I am seeing, CPU and memory don't seem to be the issue.
Figure I'd try something different.
Thanks,
Kevin

Running OpenElec through PXE and it is much more responsive, thx InoD. The next question is how do you set up so each remote openelec client gets its own configuration, instead of sharing the same one? The audio setup on each client is slightly different, IE 2 r through HDMI, 1 analog, one optical. I get sound on all of them, but have to adjust audio every time it boots.
Thanks,
Kevin
PS, is anyone looking into the 13-15 second channel change time?

Ok forget about the individual configuration, I realized I didn't add the overlay option to my PXE setup.

Sorry for the lack of updates.It has been a bit busy due to family_member_count++; but I've updated the master branch with cfetzer PR so it is now possible to set the watched state for recordings. I've also re-enabled the fast channel switching. The code compiles on windows but I'vent tested it with GCC yet. Next step is to backport the changes to eden-pvr.
