Load Times, 9.0.21 and PVR Simple Client

[Laslo]

After the initial server problems, I got back up again using 1.0.18 and PVR Simple Client. When 9.0.21 came out, I migrated to it and PVR Simple Client. They both worked fine until yesterday and the second round of server problems.

In 9.0.21 it now takes roughly 30 seconds for a channel to start streaming. The dialog comes up showing "loading" and the time line stays at the beginning. After about 15 seconds the time line moves across to the end and "Working..." pops up for 5 - 10 seconds and then the channel starts streaming. Is this going to be the new norm? I hope not.

When I try to use PVR Simple Client it times out before the channel starts streaming. I can't see anywhere to increase the wait time. Does anyone know if there's a way to increase the wait time in PVR Simple Client?

Mine was like that yesterday, even through the late evening, but things are ok today. It seems to take a little bit longer to load in Simple Client, but it beats the time out cycle.

I haven't gotten the EPG to load since mid-day yesterday, however. I'll have to post in that forum later to see what's up.

You guys should use the PVR Stalker client..way better then the simple PVR

Totally agree, was having so much trouble getting PVR Stalker to work, but once it did, wow what a difference, changing channels is in 2 sec

Changed the settings accordingly...

<setting id="connection_timeout" value="40" />

Unable to load channels

<setting id="connection_timeout" value="100" />

Unable to load channels

Seems like something else is going on.

I mistakenly posted the prior message here. Sorry about that.

But I had both PVR Simple Client and PVR Stalker Client working before the server issues. I could enable one then the other. They were identical in performance. PVR Simple Client had no issues. It was responsive and buffered or froze no more or no less than PVR Stalker Client. PVR Simple Client is no longer getting EPG Guide updates. That is my only issue with that avenue.

There have been so many changes. I do not want to throw the baby out with the bath water. Hopefully, someone will eventually get a handle on what's going on and will get everything that was formerly in the game back in the game.
