LiveTV Pauses when entering EPG

[Zach C <uid000@…>]

#6062 is still a problem for me in r20230. Is there something I'm missing or should configure?

Sorry for the delay in reporting. Just back to MythTV after a hiatus.

[Shane Shrybman]

No, nothing should need to be configured.

Another frontend log like the one provided on #6062 might provide some clues.

[Zach C <uid000@…>]

I'll try to post a log from the frontend today. What log options would be useful?

[Shane Shrybman]

The same options used on the log file for #6062.

mythfrontend log with -v playback

[Zach C <uid000@…>]

I just added the log output from the frontend. At 17:30:16.801 we see DoPause?() -- begin This is when I entered the EPG from LiveTV

At 17:30:19.879 we see DoPlay? -- begin This is where I hit "escape" to return to LiveTV

[Shane Shrybman]

Hmm, I can't reproduce the problem here but I don't have vdpau.

Does the problem happen every time you enter the guide? How about when not using vdpau?

[Zach C <uid000@…>]

Yes, just tested with the CPU-- profile (video 1280x720, h.264) and other than being generally unusable due to stuttering video, the EPG works properly. TV keeps playing in a thumbnail in the guide (there was no thumbnail with VDPAU).

[Zach C <uid000@…>]

I just updated my Nvidia drivers to 180.29 to see if it made a difference, since the problem seems to be related to VDPAU in some way. Unfortunately, this didn't help.

(In [20291]) Don't pause Live TV if no preview window is available in the EPG. Closes #6378.
