edit: also going back to the password question, i see its unencrypted in the config.xml, it seems to be encrypted in one line but unecrypted in an earlier line. because this is a win8 pc it really needs to be signed into my main hotmail / outlook account. could this be improved to have all passwords encrypted?
the username and password appear to be the source of the problem on the laptop win8 client. in the xbmc log i see this https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3954...d%20tv.txt also the password was unencrypted, i have replaced both this and the username in the attached. same problem with live tv on the win8 laptop too:

sorry for all the edits but hopefully this is helpful!
Hi Spaceboy,
I have a number of questions and requests and some info.
Request 1:
In the crash log you sent me in the server above, please go to the tempxbmc folder and look for a folder there called 'savedfordebug', find the file:
LiveTV_HTPC_DVB-T_101_2013_10_06_13_13_35.wtv
I have one other example of a file failing with the above error type and I want to see if it is the same. It seems to happen randomly on broadcasts in the UK. Another example clip will be really helpful for me to come up with a bug fix. If its what I think it is, it happens when a luminosity field is read in from the descriptor pass.
If its there place it my gdrive like you did the other:
https://drive.google.com/?tab=wo&authuse...zFhZmNPWUE
Request 2:
I don't understand why your password is getting written twice in the config.xml file. Can you send me the file and edit out your password with *. You can put it in the same folder as the clip. It is true that the xbmc client also outputs this password in the xbmc debug log, thats a bug I need to fix. Having said all that, since your remote client is windows these credentials are not needed, although windows will still work if they are turned on.
Info:
As to your other problem with some HD stations stuttering. I looked at the file you sent, and you are right, the wtv plays smoothly in xbmc - so this is not exactly the same problem I have see with other UK broadcasts. However when I remux this file to ts (which I have to do in order to do live tv) the ts file contains the stuttering you see. If you want to test this (please do!), go to the debug tab on the server and turn off 'delete temporary stream files', then run one of these stuttery channels for a couple of minutes in live tv. When you are done, use xbmc to play the 'ts' file left in tempxbmc It will have the stuttery playback. HOWEVER, if you play the same ts file in wmp or wmc it will play back smoothly (if you have any other players, try those and let me know what you get). Why xbmc does not like the ts code my program makes from bbc*, I don't know. My remux code is based on a public domain tool called Remuxtool written in java, I went back to that tool to see if it was something I did when I adopted the code, but that tool also produces a ts file that is jerky when played in xbmc.
Request 3:
At this point I am stuck, I can spend a lot of time learning the inner workings of ts format and look at the ffmpeg code in xbmc but I would have a lot to learn and I want to spend my free time get this pvr as solid and as featured as possible, not become a video format expert (although that would be interesting). I humbly request instead that you submit this jerky ts clip to the xbmc folks as a bug and see what they say (since it plays fine in other players). A lot of the European users, and me, would love to see this fixed.
new topic:
Your windows remote client can read epg, schedule recordings, etc, so the network connection to the server is fine. Since you can't watch a recorded tv program, or watch live tv, this means the network path to recorded tv is where the problem is. The user name and passwork in the credentials do not matter for windows, in fact you can turn these off (but not before you send me the info I requested above
). All that matters for windows is:
the recorded tv file be shared for everybody ('everybody' just applying to windows clients)
that the only folder wmc is using for recorded tv be the main recording folder (no other watched folders) - this requirement is a bug I am going to try to fix today if my wife lets me.
If all this is right, please (last request), turn on the server, turn off credentials, and click the save button (make sure it says save succeeded), start the client, run one attempt at a live stream. After it failes send me the complete server log and xbmc log (put it the same google drive folder).
Thanks. Sorry for the long post (we are even now)
