Thanks for the help margro.

I've been really busy and just got round to trying to fix this now. I have tried what you said. Set the "Wait time after tuning a channel" to 3000 ms and still same problem.

I have managed to get it to start playback of a channel about twice out of 20 trys but it normally crashes. So I don't understand how it has worked before and I haven't changed anything

This is what the log says after I click a channel. Debug log is enabled You got any ideas from it :
I deleted my username and password for the smb connection from the log and changed it to just Usernameassword . My username and password was correct

UPDATE: Just been playing about and if I only import a small group of channels under 100 it works and the channels play. I have around 350 channels I was importing and when I do that it crashes when trying to play.

UPDATE2: Just tested this more and its defiantly something to do with the above as its worked about 20 times now, but as soon as I import all my channels. It doesn't

UPDATE3: Maybe this is not the cause. It seems like totally random whether it works or not. How can you diagnose and fix a random issue ?
