As expected, again, try seeking forward the issue will disappear. The reason it is in the same place when you go back in is by design, so that you can go back to the guide and then back into where you left off. When you change channel you are obviously starting from fresh. > > It looks like livepause has a problem with buffer allocation/freeing, > so I think livepause needs some work on it. I will post a bug report. No it doesn't this is not to do with any buffers, the issue is that the write is now catching up with read, what needs tweaking is the amount that gets seek forward from the end of the buffer so that write doesn't catch up with the read. At the moment it tries to be conservative, looks like I need to make this more aggressive.
