Freezes at end of recording playback

will_fish · #1 10-06-2003, 08:06 PM

Hello,

When I am watching a recorded show and allow it to play all the way to the end, my computer freezes. I have to hold down the power button (ctl-alt-delete does nothing) - everything is frozen. If I return to the menu 1 second before it gets to the end, then it is fine, but when it reaches the end, it freezes.

The system is very stable otherwise. I am using Windows XP (SP1), a PVR-350 card, and SageTV V1.4.10. I had the previous SageTV version and did not have this problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Do you have software_decoding disable? This is a known bug with that currently.

Thanks for the note. Can you please tell me where I go to change the software_decoding setting? Is it a SageTV setting or a Hauppauge setting?

Open up your Sage.properties file while SageTV is not running. Do a "Find" in the text file and you'll see it. After you make the change, just save the file and restart SageTV.

What filters are you using? Just curious because I get similar behavior with Sonic filters. If I let a recording play to the end, it will hang Sage. I don't think it completely hangs Sage just the UI. I can still Ctrl+Alt+Del to get to Task Manager in XP and kill Sage.

Dan, is there any way I can turn some debug on so I can send it to you? Sage doesn't seem to be making any Sage_#.txt of err*.log files.

stanger89,

There is no way to turn debugging back on for the release versions. Debugging takes a lot of resources so it's disabled for the release versions. Your best bet is to complete a support request form so we have a record of the problem and we will be in contact if there is any other debugging we can have you do.

I opened the sage.properties file and did a search on 'software' and did not find anything. Is there a specific line I can add to disable software_decoding?

Thanks

Sorry, here's the exact line. I guess this explains why you couldn't find it searching for "software".
