Disconnected message when switching some channels
Added by George Paitai almost 12 years ago
Hi all, first post, hoping someone can offer some answers to my problem. I have the latest OpenELEC 3.0 (RC 1) - 2.99.1 Fusion x86_64, installed on a Zotac ZBOX nano AD12 with 4GB ram (1GB to UMA) and 128GB SSD. I also have a external 1TB HD attached via eSATA (an ex Tivo external HD) with two partitions for windows & linux use (both called LiveTV). I'm using a HDHomerun dual tuner on my network. If it helps any, info on XBMC: Settings > System info > PVR service: HTS Tvheadend v. 3.3.328~g60371b0(Protocol: 8). Video & audio output to Sony 40" LCD tv (KDL-40W4000) via HDMI.
Installation of TVHeadend was a breeze compared to weeks of frustration trying to install MythTV. The web UI setup worked straight-off the bat, found my tv adapter and scanned all available channels. As an aside, I ran the HDHomerun gui testing & watching all channels (via VLC), before launching the browser to TVHeadend. The only thing I need to sort is my local epg (Auckland (Waiatarua), New Zealand) setup with some user scripts I've seen on these forums.
Now to the issue at hand. Tvheadend constantly freezes/crashes when I switch to certain channels, with the on-screen message: Tvheadend HTSP Client - Disconnected from 'HTS Tvheadend'. I then have to reboot or disable the add-ons and LiveTV to stop this message.
I've noted that it happens only to those channels belonging to a certain provider (Mediaworks: TV3; FOUR; C4; TV3PLUS1; The Shopping Channel). So either they transmit their channels differently that maybe my hardware doesn't understand, or I've done someting wrong somehere.

Thanks in advance,

Alas, after deleting all the multiplexes today and adding DVB Network by location again, the problems channels are now working. I don't know what changed as I did this same process repeatedly before. Suffice to say I am happy now all available OTA channels now work superbly!
Keep up the great work guys.
Regards,
George
