This seems to have happened with 13.2? I was running 13.0 on both my htpc's just fine, and never recall this issue happening. I'm not sure if it is related to XBMC itself, or the plugin ... so I'm going to try and explain the best I can.
I have 2 htpc's ... 1 is an AMD Sempron, the other a Core2 Duo. They both have Nvidia cards. My main htpc, on my living room tv is hooked up to my receiver and fully supports 7.1 dts/dd/etc/etc/etc. The htpc in my bedroom is just hooked to my Vizio TV.
When I upgraded them to 13.2, I've noticed when watching LiveTV, that on one channel, the video freezes. Sometimes the audio stays, and continues on just fine, but the video is froze. Sometime the video will freeze, and the audio will continue for a few seconds, and then cut off. The only way to fix it, is to stop playback and restart it. It's random when it happens, sometimes you can watch tv for an hour and then it happens, sometimes only a few minutes.
I have noticed, that on this channel, sometimes XBMC will buffer. The channel is an OTA channel, and I get about 80-90% signal strength. Sometimes you can see it artifacting, but you can still watch ok.
i've attached a log from my bedroom htpc. It's running openelec. The htpc in my living room is running xbmcbuntu. Again, this issue happens on BOTH htpc's.
As a side note, I've installed MythBuntu on the living room pc, and used it to watch LiveTV all weekend with no video freezing issues.
Both HTPC's are hardwired into a 1gig switch ... I don't think I have network issues.
Thanks for the help
Here is a link for the log file... it was too big to use pastebin =(
