Win Channel changing very slow
#1
Hello,

I hope this is the right place to ask this - I've searched a bunch and have not found any answers. I am having trouble getting Live TV to work correctly in Frodo RC 2. My tuner (Hauppauge 2250) seems to tune fine in the native apps for Windows Media Center, Media Portal, and Next DVR. But in XBMC (whether using MP or NPVR plugin) tuning to a new channel takes around 5 seconds. I would very much appreciate any help.

Debug log is here: http://pastebin.com/TKcha2de (I realize I tried to tune to some channels where I had no signal, that is the not the issue, the issue is when I tried to tune to a channel that I did get and always seems to take many seconds to do so).

My machine:
OS: Windows 7, SP1, 32bit
CPU: AMD A4 2400
RAM: 4GB
Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 6410D, driver 8.881.0.0
Sound Card: AMD High Definition Audio Device, driver 7.12.0.7702
Tuner: Hauppauge 2250
XBMC: Frodo RC 2

try argustv and decrease the timings in argustv plugin. then you will have switching times 1-3 seconds.

Not sure why, but on a fresh boot channel changing is about 5 seconds now (so matching MePo)

Will try Argus TV
