PIP crashes ProgDVB + other stability issues

#1 by NoHands
I'm trying out ProgDVB Pro x64 (v2.96.02), and it crashes often when I use PIP.
I just need to start using PIP, and then switch channels quickly.
If it doesn't hang, I can hear audio from multiple channels. Once, I managed to hear audio from the same channel twice (=echo).

My PC is running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, and I'm using a mini USB DVB-T tuner based on the IT9135 chipset.
Let me know what additional information you need.

Here's what I did:
1. Started ProgDVB and watched channel 2.
2. Started PIP and selected channel 10. So now I see channel 2 in the small frame inside the big channel 10 picture.
3. Pressed on channel 2 in the Channel list.

Result: Video: switched to channel 2, no longer in PIP mode. Audio: I can hear both channel 2 and channel 10.

Here's a the log following a crash. I just left ProgDVB minimized (or was just just in the background?), listening to the news while playing chess online.

I've been using the free version (6.96.1) without a problem . I started the trial for the Pro version today and it's terribly unstable.

...and another log. Same as before, ProgDVB minimized, I was listening to the news on TV. Then audio started stuttering and a few seconds later it stopped.
The application stopped responding, I couldn't restore the window.
So I killed it.

I tried to upload the log but it won't let me.

It's easy to create that double audio bug with any two channels. I just did that with a TV channel and a Radio(!) channel.

And quickly clicking on channels in the channels panel and ProgDVB becomes unstable: Frame rate drops to 1 frame per second. Unwatchable. And it's not the DVB-T reception quality - it's showing it at 99%-100%.

ps: you have bad signal. Many packets losted. This is not important for double audio bug but very important for stability.
It depends on the time of day. At night it is very bad. During the day quality is at 99%-100%.

I don't know. Maybe it's the weather?
But I don't think it matters. The applications shouldn't crash.

Do you see it in the log? Do you want me to try things and let you know what happens?
