To be honest I am not sure whether its PTV or XBMC in general causing this. Because I noticed when playing movies and skipping forwards I produced the same results. (Black screen with audio playing).
I was having this issue too.. a LOT. I'm not sure if fixing the Setting > Video > Audio settings did it (corrected hdmi settings to reflect the NVIDIA hw) *or* if it was the trakt.tv plugin. Since turning off that plug-in i have yet to experience a crash.
Alright stop the presses! I have just fixed it I think...LOL
You were on the right track. I found this thread and found that I had not set my audio output to HDMI. I havent ever had to do this before, but I gave it a try and it seems to have done the trick. I have changed channels without issue and even gave the Mrs a go to see if she could crash it. PTV is still running strong
@jason Thanks for the help with the troubleshooting. Also the EPG is faster and usable now. Not as fluid as it was in the past, but more than usable.
I too was getting a similar error:
19:01:44 T:5216 WARNING: CRenderManager::FlipPage - timeout waiting for flip to complete
19:01:44 T:5216 WARNING: CRenderManager::FlipPage - timeout waiting for previous frame
But I've changed my audio output to be specifically the DirectSound HDMI device I'm connected to (my Westinghouse HDTV) and will test if this fixes the issue.
