    transcoding and streaming

    the transcoder seems to encounter problem , play a stream (say from a phone) initially its ok . stop and play different channel the images starts flashing green , the sound is ok but static flashing picture. If i reboot the box all is ok again. It happend quite often. tried different apps (including openwebif , click phone icon , play with vlc), exhibits same problem on all.
    This only happens to the transcoded stream. Anyway to correct this or reset without rebooting box.

    Im new to enigma2 box so bear with me, and thats the confusing part for me , i thought it had hardware transcoding (thats why i bought it, reading one or 2 reviews ) , but it may software only , i dont know, but im sure there are people who know exactly.
    Anyway e.g. from the openwebif movies menu there are 2 icons - computer and phone. if i click on computer icon , my phone download a m3u file which i can play with vlc , i can do the same if i click the phone icon. The difference between the 2 files (using same source) the m3u file from computer icon is using port 8001 and phone icon port 8002.
    There is transcoding plugin in openvix , which i set a very low bit rate so i could tell is not the original source visually , so there is transcoding is happening.
    But as i said i can select diferent channels , or movies ok but then it will go wrong visually on change.

    i found another thread which is on openmips - you can transate via google - just think transcoder is not initializing when choosing new stream http://www.gigablue-support.org/giga...ng-bildfehler/

    upgraded via usb to 5.0.002 , restored from setting from backup and not the plugins - hurrah - transcoding seems to be behaving its self
    No more green screen when watching changing channels from android app or other programs

    5.0.003 released , decided to upgrade online from setup menu.
    Same problem reappeared - change channel from app then video stuck flashing green , audio ok.

    So thought if i reinstall 5.003 via usb and only restore setting but not plugin (maybe something to with plugins), thought it was stable but no
    the green flashing screen appeared after a few cahnnel changes

    restored the 5.0.002 image from backup , transcoding stable again on changing channel

    so something changed in 5.0.003 causing the problem. (and was causing last pre 5 versions)

    Can any you clever guys help ?
