Crash when surfing Live TV
CountryBumkin:
I've been playing around with live TV this weekend and had a couple of crashes.
What I think is happening, is that I if I don't hit the "stop" button first when changing channels and I hit the "Guide button" and then select a new channel, while the original channel is still playing in the background that causes a crash when the new channel tries to open.
I think it would be desirable to have MC issue a stop command prior to a channel change command.
Attached are the logs including a crash dump. I hope these logs provide some clues.

PS. You do not need to respond back to me. I only provide these logs in case there is something in them will help make MC a better program.

FWIW I do that sort of thing all the time in Theatre View with no issues at all, on the MC server HTPC.
A stop before changing channel probably wouldn't do any harm, and might help with some tuners. It may slow the process a little though.

Usually it's not a problem - but this time something went wrong.
Sometimes changes/upgrades, made in one area of JRiver result in something unexpected elsewhere. So I captured a log (with crash dmp) for JRiver in case it offers anything useful.

Here's another crash. Repeatable. Every time I open Live TV and then hit the Stop button, MC21 crashes. I captured several Logs - attached is the shortest.
This is on the MC Server machine (my previous post was about a different crash on a Client).
Can't attach a Log - MC says file is too big! E-mailed to Yaobing (sorry Yaobing).
Seriously, this file size cap needs to be increased. My Log is about "two minutes of running" MC from a log that was just reset. it's 788KB.

Attachments in a forum typically stay there forever, unless an Administrator comes along and cleans up. Emails can be received, read, and deleted.
Image the forum storage requirements if all log files were attached to posts and all attachments were retained forever! :o
