I have the latest RC of Frodo installed on a RPi, and we're connected with my main machine, which is a Windows 7 XBMC/MediaPortal setup. I have the MPEG-2 license installed.
Currently, the MP client setup within Raspbmc is using ffmpeg, because I saw a thread that said TSReader is for Windows installations only. I could not get TSReader working anyway.
Everything plays wonderfully on the RPi, except for HD over the air content. SD content plays flawlessly (thanks to the MPEG-2 license), but HD content can barely capture a picture, much less the video. Everything is hooked up correctly - am I missing something? Is there a setting I can tweak? The RPi plays all our HD MKVs from the same machine perfectly fine, it's just stuck on the over the air HD stuff.
Thanks in advance! Let me know if I can provide more info!

Not sure what you mean by OTA, what we need is for you to run mediainfo on one of the files and post back the output.

I believe he's talking about live TV/PVR.

Yeah, "OTA" stands for "over the air".
There are no "sample files" in this case, because it has nothing to do with file playback, it has to do with live TV playback. I can turn on the XBMC logging, but I have no idea how to access it to post it. Can somebody help me out there? I tried turning it on, then taking the card out and trying to plug the card into a different computer, but the log isn't in there. I imagine there's a special way to do it for the RPi...

Just use the debug log uploader add-on mentioned on this page:

Doesn't mediaportal keep the livestream on disk, even for a short time? If so sun meidainfo and see what it tells you about the file.
Try recording an HD file in mediaportal and playing that. See if it is different to live streaming.
I am simply asking you for info so this can be debugged.

There are lots of this (eg line 750):
20:52:06 T:2811180096 ERROR: ffmpeg[A78F3440]: [rtsp] ignoring previously allocated packet on stream 0
Hard to track down why though. Anyone else help with this log?

If you look at the timestamp, the logfile is only 12 minutes long. As stated before, I turned debugging on, attempted to watch a stream, stopped the attempt, and turned it off. Might be best served to start from the bottom and work your way up. Either way, my knowledge of reading logfiles is pretty limited.
Anybody else's help would be appreciated!

Can anybody take a look at that log file and give me some insight as to what's going on?

Hmm. Well, I installed Frodo on my Windows 7 netbook to see if it would have the same issue and it does. So my guess at this point is a network issue that's not pumping the HD content to other computers fast enough. I'm going to play around with some things and see if I can get it to work. But I'm guessing that it's not a RPi issue after all...
