OSD no more accessible when tuning a bad channel

(I reposted this for visibility, sorry if it's a problem)

 

A very annoying issue using the software (specially with OSD and remote) is that in various circumstances all related to the tuning of a channel, we lose control over the DVBViewer (apparently) and if we force it to close is very like to hang the entire system (effectively).

It seems that DVBViewer can't recover from a tuning a bad channel for a while: in normal channel list you can simply select a channel you can view for sure and wait a bunch of seconds. From OSD and by remote control you still can move upper or lower to tune a viewable channel, but in this case the mini EPG don't follow your remote operations so, to the user, it seems all freezed with black screen until another viewable channel is tuned.

Excluding the worse freeze cases wich, in our opinion, need more investigation, this isn't a real issue but a bad behaviour of the interface of DVBViewer that gives to the user the feel to lose control over the software with a black screen and without be able to recall and operate the OSD menu.

Anyway we'll appreciate so much if this can be soon solved.

This is connected to the used renderer. Use the overlay renderer, it's the only renderer that is able to show the OSD without a video picture. All others will have this problem.
