DVB-T TV dongle working perfectly but crash Windows 10 when stop playing

Hello,
first let me say that I am impressed by VitualHere. And will buy license from you since other solution are simply overpriced...

I have installed VitualHere server on my LG G4 Android phone (running Cyanogen Mod 13) that connect to my local WIFI network.
The client is running on my Windows 10 pro 64bits desktop PC.

On my phone I did plug a dual DVB-T tunner ( http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/site/products/data_duet.html ) and on the client I can scan channel, view channel, change channel, audio and video is perfect!
Near to magic! :D

But there is a big problem too... : as soon as I stop playing TV stream, Windows crash with blue screen.

I did try to install the client and TV player on my Surface Pro 4, and here the image is not going very well (maybe wifi issues) but same as on my PC, as soon as I stop playing the TV stream, the Surface crash.

Strange...

On the blue screen I did seen multiple time 'IRQ less....ks.sys'
And only one time, something like 'kernel protection'.

That is so frustrating :(

Ok that is quite surprising you can stream dvb-t from and android phone over wifi via virtualhere, i thought the cpu would not be fast enough in the phone...

Can you look in your c:\windows\minidump folder and see if there are files listed there, if so send me the latest one. If it shows some bug in the virtualhere driver then it might be fixable, if it shows a crash in the dtb driver then its like an issue with their driver. Alternatively if there is a file call c:\windows\memory.dmp send me that . My email is mail [at] virtualhere.com (mail[at]virtualhere[dot]com)

I did monitor the CPU on my phone. It has 4 "small" cores and 2 big one.
That's may be surpising but it bearly use 2 or 3 small cores under 25% each!
It is not realy "streaming" since the phone only send videos and audios channels (5 per multiplex) without doing any kind of transcoding.
It just passthrough the multiplex to its WIFI chip (ac), witch is less than 25 Mbits/s.

This was just a test. The idea beind this test is to see if I can avoid having my home roof antenna directly plugged into my home server in case of lightning strike near my house.
This is realy unsafe. So with this new system there is no more wired link between my antenna and my home server but just WIFI link between my router and my android phone.
I am now planning to buy a Raspberry Pi 3 to do the same thing but I absolutely don't know linux nor Raspberry :D I am not sure if it would work or not, but I can offer the test @ $40.

I will send you or give you a link for download the crash dumps tomorrow (its late here).

Ok, I did email you my dumps from both clients device.

I did made further tests installing the server on Windows 10 64bit pro rather than on Android but I didn't managed to get my DVB-T USB dongle shared by VirtualHere server.
In log, it looks like it doesn't support it :
