Hi Kodi Experts,
I am having issue an with the timeshift when switching between analogue channels when using the PVR functionality.
My HTPC setup is as follows
Version: 18.1 (Git:20190217-8cfdc895f3)
OS: Windows 7 SP1
CPU: Intel® Core™ i3-4150 CPU@ 3.50Ghz 64 bit
GPU: Intel® HD Graphics 4400
RAM: 8Gb
Tv Card: WinTV-HVR-2255 (with a Satellite set top box input and IR blaster)
Pvr Backend: MediaPortal (TVServerKodi.dll version 1.20.0.140)
When using my HTPC to watch live tv, if I change between analogue channels (the source of which is the satellite set top box) the timeshift buffer plays from the beginning of the timeshift. The issue does not occur when changing channels between digital channels, or when changing from analogue to digital or vice versa.
The channels change correctly on the set top box and all other functionality works correctly, apart from the timeshift playing from the very beginning.
For Example I select Channel A at 20:00hrs, at 20:05hrs I select Channel B, however the play back starts at 20:00hrs. The time shift is complete as I can fast forward to the end of the timeshift file at 20:05hrs and continue the playback.
It makes no difference whether I change channel using the channel up or down functions or use select a channel from the epg or channels. The choice of skin also seems to have no effect on the functionality.
I have other devices running Kodi on the same network which are connected to the HTPC pvr backend and they all function normally when changing between analogue channels, so I think I can isolate the problem to the Kodi application running on the HTPC. I'm hoping I have missed something simple and the experts here can point me in the right direction.
