NEW: Added a TV option to choose whether to use the new transport stream time-shifting or legacy (program stream) time-shifting for bda tuners.

Thank you. Legacy bda mode is working and I have bitstreaming for OTA live tv again. Unfortunately I am getting audio glitches every 4-6 seconds on certain OTA channels:
-immediate and repeatable
-only happens on LIVE tv
-only specific OTA channels
-not present in MC v29, tested all OTA channels including the affected channels
-not audio drop outs, more like overlapping/garbled/glitching
-not present when playing back finished recordings from the affected channels
-tried many combos of audio device buffering and pre-buffering, just makes it worse
-have used bitstream for years across many versions of MC and never had this issue until MC30

Just wanted to thank you for a perfect V30. I have been pushing V30 very hard every day since it was released and have not experienced a single problem, glitch, or anomaly.

There is one small issue that existed long before V30 that you might want to investigate. Occasionally, maybe once out of 10 times, when double clicking to play an MP3, MC stalls for about 3 seconds saying it is "buffering". I know this is not caused by my hard drive spinning up because a minute earlier a different MP3 on the same drive played without a buffering delay.

Hello,
I'm affected by what I think is a bug that may have appeared with v .30 and still affects me with the latest version. Using v .18 (this is the only other version I still have), everything is fine.

I have a custom view under movies in Theater view. I created a custom field with the name of my daughter and every time a movie imported and is for her, I annotate this field manually with her name. Then, when I start theater view and go to Video, movies and select her name (instead of grid for example), the list of movies is now empty where it used to be populated with movies only for her with v .18 (or any other previous versions).

I attached a picture on how I did the setup in theater view option for that particular view. Nothing special as I just used the rule [custom] with her name and then sort by order (Paloma ~sort=[Original Title])

Did something change that I miss and I need to rethink how to do this or it's just a bug? Let me know if you need more info

Thank you

You might check under DSP whether you have "output format" checked.  I and at least one other person have found buffering issues under certain conditions when that box is checked.

Thank you for the tip. Output Format was checked. When I uncheck it my mp3s won't play and I get the error:

"Something went wrong with playback.
Playback could not be started using format 44.1 kHz 2 Ch.
blah blah blah"

I changed my output device from (Realtek Audio) [WASAPI] to Realtek [ASIO] and now my music plays with Output Format unchecked.

I've never understood the different output devices and usually just pick the one that works first.  Is there any reason that I should not continue to use Realtek [ASIO] with Output Format unchecked?  FYI, I have a set of analog 2.1 speakers.
