I would be very happy to test some builds to try and find the problem

Can you test this build:

Should be Openelec 4.0.4 with the newclock3 patch I indicated.

Hi popcornmix,

Tried a couple of channels ( DVB-T- UK )running consecutively for 3-5 hours.

Audio/video started to drift from about two hours in on both.

Please note - as mentioned I am using stock settings on everything - if there is a specific setting in any of the Live tv/ Video menus I am not using which is meant for Live tv, then maybe you or other people reading this can let me know!

Thanks

O.K - back again.

Surpise, surprise , this is proving more complicated than expected

After installing the second build you gave me, the Pi ran overnight with great sync.
the next day on another channel, it had drifted (literally) minutes by the morning.
next day it was fine.

The only explanation I can offer is that ,occasionally, when the TV reception has a small glitch ( be it bad weather rain, wind etc), I do notice that Live Tv can - but not always- suffer from a small drift when recovering. if there are extra glitches in reception ( I must emphasise that these are very very small disruptions) then this compounds the issue.
Whereas my 'hardware'' Freeview ( DVB-T) box shows no dislocation of audio/video after a small reception glitch, the Pi seems much more sensitive.

does that make any sense ? - and is there anybody out there using Pi / live tv who recognises what I am saying?

Thanks Popcornmix
