XBMC crashing with fast switching with PVR channels

deniax · 2013-01-31 10:27

Hi,

Every time I am in full screen mode watching live TV and I switch channels really quick, XBMC seems to crash.
I can always reproduce it, just switch very fast from channels.
Slowly going from channel to channel doesn't give me a problem.

I'm using the final version of Frodo together with the ArgusTV add-on on XBMCbuntu.
I've also set tunedelay to 0

Does someone have the same or has an solution to it?

This might have various reasons but the most obvious from the log is that the backend does not start the stream with an I-Frame.

Thanks for your reply.
The problem with not starting the stream with an I-Frame, is this "global" problem for XBMC on every OS?
I just tested it with XBMC on my Macbook, and there I don't have any problems with very fast channel switches.

How would you advise to proceed? Just report the I-Frame bug to Argus?
Try other drivers?

This is related to the backend you have in use.
