Cool!. So are you one of the guys that runs along with the broom thingy sweeping infront of the stone?
kinda like lawn bowls here in australia only on skates and ice and with sweepers... lol I guess it really isnt like it at all
RE: Started Using XBMC PVR functionality with WMC - krustyreturns - 2014-01-14
Did you have these crashes when you were installing manually?
Is the slowdown really like low motion, or is it like when xbmc is buffering - a still image while its buffering, then it starts, then a still image while it buffers again.
I have been using this gotham:

Hard to tell Only really started using LiveTV for significant amounts of time over the last couple of weeks.
I am going to install the same gotham version you have and will manually install pvr.WMC.
When I see the slow down, I don't get any buffering messages but the playback is very very slow.with a new frame every 10sec+ or so.
RE: Started Using XBMC PVR functionality with WMC - scarecrow420 - 2014-01-14
From the symptoms it sounds like the remuxer is starved for data and slowing down etc.
The Frodo results will be the most telling. If you still get the same/similar problems then we can focus on the remuxer/server side... if it works fine then we can focus in on Gotham
And yes, the only time ive ever seen curling is in the Olympics on tv over the years
RE: Started Using XBMC PVR functionality with WMC - ijourneaux - 2014-01-14
OK, night I installed the Gotham version that KrustyReturns indicated he was using and manually installed the pvr.wmc client. I started up LiveTV and the problem with slow playback has not occurred in several hours. I just installed that version of Gotham over my existing version.

What about the xbmc crash problem?
PS, I do curling too, only it just involves my biceps.
RE: Started Using XBMC PVR functionality with WMC - ijourneaux - 2014-01-14
No crashes so far. I realize that, by definition, the nightlies are prone to bugs. It will be interesting to see what the problem actually ends up being.
When I met my wife, and I told her I curled, she thought I curled weights.
RE: Started Using XBMC PVR functionality with WMC - krustyreturns - 2014-01-14
I wonder if it needs to be reported, or if its known.
RE: Started Using XBMC PVR functionality with WMC - scarecrow420 - 2014-01-15
no harm in reporting it surely. I dont really know where though.
RE: Started Using XBMC PVR functionality with WMC - ijourneaux - 2014-01-15
I don't mind installing the latest nightly and repeating the process but as you say, I am not sure how or where to report. Perhaps I can replicate with the XBMC enhanced debugging
RE: Started Using XBMC PVR functionality with WMC - scarecrow420 - 2014-01-16
yeah if you can get XBMC in debug log mode, and reproduce the problem, we can take it to the support forum first, and perhaps ultimately raise a bug for it. We shouldnt let it slide since if there is a problem in the latest nightlies which causes this, we want to know what the problem is and who needs to do a fix etc
RE: Started Using XBMC PVR functionality with WMC - ijourneaux - 2014-01-16
I will load the latest nightly and try to reproduce the problem with debug turned on.
RE: Started Using XBMC PVR functionality with WMC - ijourneaux - 2014-01-17
iThe problem of extremely laggy playback of live TV reappears with the latest nightly. I uploaded the XBMC debug log and the serverwmc log. to your google drive.
The XBMC log has a bunch of

RE: Started Using XBMC PVR functionality with WMC - krustyreturns - 2014-01-17
Thanks a lot for working on this. I think this needs to be submitted as a bug in gotham to the xbmc team. I know you have done a lot already, but I am swamped right now. Would you be willing to submit it? If not, I will try to get to it this weekend.
RE: Started Using XBMC PVR functionality with WMC - ijourneaux - 2014-01-17
No problem. I will try to figure out the steps involved.
Edit Submitted a Bug Ticket #14849
