1.2e Audio Skipping + Random Stopping

[electrofreak66]

What is happening is when listening to audio only stations a few minutes it will start to skip. The audio usually turns off for 2-3 seconds then comes back on. It does this routine 3-4 times then eventually stops all together. If I re-tune to the station by clicking on the same channel I am already on it comes back right away. My signal strength isn't the best but I doubt it's the problem because these same audio only channels work fine with other programs (no skipping at all). I prefer dvb dream because it takes up a lot less cpu than the others. I do not have any issues with regular video+audio channels, so this seems isolated to the audio only channels. After the audio stops all together, I notice in PID Statistics under demultiplexer status it starts to create a bunch of new handles for vpl** and there starts to be thousands of duplicates. The handles eventually top out at 128. When the audio stops playing for the 2-3 seconds it usually does I cannot find any evidence anywhere that can point to why it's happening. I have tried different stations and different mpeg decoder codecs too and it didn't help. I hope I am not the only one experiencing this problem.

Are there continuity or stream errors increasing in Pid statistics? ("C.Err", "S.Err")

can you attach your dvbdream.log file please. (the file should be taken right after the problem appeared)

The audio didn't completely shut off until 11:30:20 PM indiicated in the log as "[Auto reset md-plugin] re-try". I see it says something about channel change but I did not change the channel at all. The audio still intermittently turned off and on about 10 different times for a duration of about 5 seconds each time. There is no evidence of the intermittent issue in the log but there is some evidence of the audio completely stopping. There is a 0 for both "C.Err" and "S.Err" and my CPU never raised to more then 20% the whole time. Hopefully the log will help. I let it sit for a few minutes before capturing the log, just to see if the audio would turn on again. It never did turn back on by itself.

Try to disable following option:

options->preferences->Plugin Interface
"Auto resend channel change event when channel is scrambled"

This option -warns- the plugin when channel cant be descrambled.
