Hi,

Win7 x64, XBMC Frodo 12.2, ArgusTV 2.1 (single machine), DVB-T tuner

Sometimes (once every 5 times or so, inconsistent) when I try to open Live TV (which was stopped) on any channel, I get an 'ArgusTV Client unknown error' after waiting for a minute or so. After several attempts it works out.Recordings work well even during this error (from the Recorder console).
I tried setting the service tuning timeouts to 20 seconds but it didn't help.

I enabled debugging in XBMC, and this is how the logs look like when it works and when not.

Here's how it looks like when it works:
00:24:02 T:6412 NOTICE: Creating InputStream
00:24:02 T:6412 DEBUG: PVRManager - PVR::CPVRManager::OpenLiveStream - opening live stream on channel 'Ch 10'

and when it doesn't work:

00:30:36 T:4340 NOTICE: Creating InputStream
00:30:36 T:4340 DEBUG: PVRManager - PVR::CPVRManager::OpenLiveStream - opening live stream on channel 'Ch 2'

AND THIS IS WHERE IT'S STUCK...


Update:
1. it's almost always fixed when restarting XBMC
2. Recording always works.
3. When it happens, the USB dvb-t dongle doesn't light its led, and none of the streaming/recorder logs are updated..

What do you recommend doing?
Downgrade ArgusTV to 2.0.1 (I think it didn't happen before upgrading, but this seems like XBMC issue..)?
Try to connect a different dongle (although there are no logs in the recorder/strreaming)?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.. :-)
