[Freevo-users] live_pause starved (Freevo 1.7.4)

2008-02-26 Thread Andrew Jeffery
Hi all,

Looking at freevo's main-x.log file I keep seeing the live_pause plugin
logging that it's starved:

...

this keeps happening over and over every second or so. I'm not sure what
that's affecting exactly but I also can't pause live tv (hitting the
space bar has worked previously, but it's not working at the moment for
some reason) and wondered if it's correlated?

This probably means that you've either seeked to the end of the buffer (ie
your now watching almost live TV) or you have had some signal quality
issues which has meant Xine has read more of the buffer than should
normally happen. The log messages are just an indication that live_pause
couldn't read any bytes from the buffer, once the starved_count gets to 5
it will pause for 2 seconds to refill the buffer. These log messages
aren't really anything to worry about.

As for pause not working, I have you left the channel paused for a long
time say enough for the buffer to completely fill up? If so you won't be
able to pause as you have no where to put the new data. Try seeking
forward a bit and then try pausing.

Cheers

Adam

Ah cheers :) Thought it might have been some setting I missed/set wrong 
but it's probably a weak signal problems then, I'm having some issues 
with a couple of channels. Not sure why  though as we have a stand-alone 
digital/HD receiver which works perfectly all the time... maybe it's the 
drivers/firmware for the tuner card.
