so, I installed XBMC and the NPVR plugin on the same Windows7 (x64) machine -- it plays just fine (albeit with some buffering issues on occasion).. However, we decided to eat dinner and I switched off the screen (a 50" pioneer flat panel connected via HDMI) but left the machine running.. Later I came back and switched on the screen only to find the video running REALLY slowly -- almost frame by frame with no audio.. I quit XBMC and restarted it and the video was fine but the audio was still out..
I vaguely recall finding this the case when using an XBOX 360 -- where the audio would disappear IF you shut the screen/receiver off but left the XBOX on..
So, for those of you that use dedicated PCs with HDMI outputs, what methods/steps do you do when it's time to shutoff the video temporarily? Does it work as expected?
I'm a little leary at this point of turning my family loose on this until I can get a better feel for the behavior of the software in various scenarios...
Thx in advance for any insight you might have...
