Ceton Ethernet 6 ETH and ehshell.exe

#1

Post by Steves70 » Tue Apr 15, 2014 6:03 pm

I am having a problem with the Ceton Ethernet 6 ETH, and ehshell.exe. It seems that the WorkingSet of ehshell.exe continues to grow until it hits about 1.5gig of memory, and then I get a "Video Error, Files needed..." error. I am running Firmware version: 14.1.20.140. I have observed that while watching Live TV, memory continues to grow, but when I change channels memory decreases a bit, but never gets back to where it started, and then grows from there.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this or know of a workaround, short of stopping and starting Media Center which obviously clears the problem for a while. I have been working back and forth with Ceton on this for a while, and I don't think they have any idea what the problem is.

This is likely to be a media center add-in, or possibly a codec. Uninstall any you have installed and re-test.

This is a barbones install. I didn't even install TotalMedia Theater. The only thing this PC is used for is TV, no add-ons, codec's...Can't get any more basic.

Is it Windows 8? If so, it could be the video adapter memory leak that was discussed in another thread.

Actually Windows 7 SP1 x64. Ceton had me do a fresh install, which didn't change a thing...have been going back and forth for almost 2 months now. But thanks!

BTW I have 2 machines connected to the ETH device (4 tuners on main, 1 tuner on the other, 1 spare tuner), and both are having the same problem.
