Good morning,

In the past couple of weeks I've had trouble with Prime (terrestrial - Sugarloaf) on my MediaPortal 1.5.0. It does not display any video (audio okay) on MP nor on preview on MP TV Server Config. All other channels are fine.

It has been this way for maybe 2 weeks, except for a period for a couple of days where it came back and then went again. Interestingly it lost EPG after a while and after I performed a manual update of the EGP feed in the period the video returned.

I have been running MP for several months with no problem (1.4.0) before I performed a bare metal reinstalation. Once rebuilt All channels were working fine on 1.5.0. At some point the video for Prime dropped. I have completely uninstalled MP 1.5.0 including TV server, installed 1.4.0 (on video on prime), upgraded to 1.5.0 (no video on prime).

Has anyone else seen this or have any suggestion for troubleshooting?

MP 1.5.0
Win 7
Hauppauge HVR 2200
Sapphire Radeon HD 6450

Happy to supply more info, just let me know what!

Thanks
Nathan


Excerpt from the TV Server log when I previewed Prime:

This is what I found on the message forums of MP: 

 

 

 

In MP1.5 all that is needed is to change the TSreader buffer in the registry, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Team MediaPortal\TsReader\BufferingDelayInMilliSeconds=300. 300ms works best for me but you can experiment with longer or shorter delays and find what is best for you as it could cause delays in channel changing etc. 
Restarting MP is required after changing these settings.

I set mine to 600 and Prime has worked perfect ever since.  It seems to vary from setup to setup.

Askelon, thanks for the quick reply. That edit worked a treat for me.

FWIW 800ms seems to be my magic number.

Thanks again

The patch here is probably even better:
http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/experimental-tsreader-development.102693/page-90#post-1035833

You can set the buffer to 0 if you use the patch.

Hi Guys,

I tried the patch last night (replacing the TsReader.ax file with the updated version) and it works perfect. No more problems with PRIME or Choice TV which has been an issue since Mediaportal 1.4. Thanks for the link!
