I will test this later, but I just have a few comments for now.

1. I have experienced the 6KB files before, I cannot confirm if they are related to hibernate, I tried hibernate a few times before, but found some problems with it and stopped using it, it may have been this 6KB file issue, but I can't remember.

2. Yesterday I recorded a fotball game, it was devided into 3 recordings, first half, studio, second half. Before it was finished recording the second half, I tried to view the first half. This resultet in a total freeze of MP, and since I run MP in DX Exclusive mode I have to reset the computer. When I came back in, I could watch the first half, and studio recording. The second half is not listed in "recorded tv". If I look at the Harddisk where it is stored, the second half is there, a 4 GB file. But no player is able to playback the file.

Have this behaviour with the 2 Nova-S+ too
Recording 1+3 are correct, recording 2+4 are 6 kb

The Test-PC (Twinhan DTV DVB-S and Nova SE2) shows the same behaviour, with one difference. Recording 1-3 (done by the Nova SE2) are correct, recording 4 (done by the Twinhan) is only 6 kb.

I will try to reproduce this, but I just need to confirm something

1.add 10 recordings to schedule
is this on the same channel? right after each other? normal epg programming or manual, can I setup 10 different 5 minute manual recording just to test?

2.complete Windows shutdown
I turn off mediaportal and computer manually ?

5.MediaPortal entered hibernate
Is this a feature in mediaportal, or just the normal windows hibernate, is it the same with suspend2ram ?

6.MediaPortal recorded 10 shows with everytime hibernate/resume. no interference through user

Is mediaportal/PC hibernating in between shows ?

infinityloop · 2006-04-24, 12:12

Testplan: resume from hibernate

preparations:

PowerScheduler: IDLE time 3minutes
Autostart MediaPortal on Windows-start
Schedule at least 10 recordings each on a different channel. the time between 2 recordings must be long enought to force MediaPortal to hibernate the PC. -> ~15Minutes should work
shut down the PC
start the PC

The Testcycle (what MediaPortal is doing):

Windows starts
autostart -> MediaPortal starts
MediaPortal is running
after 3minutes IDLE MediaPortal hibernates the PC
PC is resuming from hibernate to start Scheduled recording #1
scheduled recording has finished -> MediaPortal hibernates PC after 3minutes IDLE
PC is resuming from hibernate to start Scheduled recording #2
MediaPortal is switching the channel and starts to record
scheduled recording has finished -> MediaPortal hibernates PC after 3minutes IDLE
PC is resuming from hibernate to start Scheduled recording #3
MediaPortal is switching the channel and starts to record
scheduled recording has finished -> MediaPortal hibernates PC after 3minutes IDLE
PC is resuming from hibernate to start Scheduled recording #4
MediaPortal is switching the channel and starts to record
scheduled recording has finished -> MediaPortal hibernates PC after 3minutes IDLE
PC is resuming from hibernate to start Scheduled recording #5
MediaPortal is switching the channel and starts to record
scheduled recording has finished -> MediaPortal hibernates PC after 3minutes IDLE
PC is resuming from hibernate to start Scheduled recording #6
MediaPortal is switching the channel and starts to record
scheduled recording has finished -> MediaPortal hibernates PC after 3minutes IDLE
PC is resuming from hibernate to start Scheduled recording #7
MediaPortal is switching the channel and starts to record
scheduled recording has finished -> MediaPortal hibernates PC after 3minutes IDLE
PC is resuming from hibernate to start Scheduled recording #8
MediaPortal is switching the channel and starts to record
scheduled recording has finished -> MediaPortal hibernates PC after 3minutes IDLE
PC is resuming from hibernate to start Scheduled recording #9
MediaPortal is switching the channel and starts to record
scheduled recording has finished -> MediaPortal hibernates PC after 3minutes IDLE
PC is resuming from hibernate to start Scheduled recording #10
MediaPortal is switching the channel and starts to record
scheduled recording has finished -> MediaPortal hibernates PC after 3minutes IDLE

Testresult: (thats what is needed for the reply)

Check the recorded files. Have a look at the filesize and test if you can play them.
If you get a crash or 6KB files export all logs with the testtool and attach them to your reply.

scheduled recording #1: worked | did not work: (result is a 6KB file)
scheduled recording #2: worked | did not work (result is a 6KB file)
scheduled recording #3: worked | did not work (result is a 6KB file)
scheduled recording #4: worked | did not work (result is a 6KB file)
scheduled recording #5: worked | did not work (result is a 6KB file)
scheduled recording #6: worked | did not work (result is a 6KB file)
scheduled recording #7: worked | did not work (result is a 6KB file)
scheduled recording #8: worked | did not work (result is a 6KB file)
scheduled recording #9: worked | did not work (result is a 6KB file)
scheduled recording #10: worked | did not work (result is a 6KB file)

OK, I've set up powerscheduler and some recordings on MP.
(running mp via remote desktop over dsl line isn't easy)

I will see how this works, and try to do a better test tomorrow.

imported_KRA · 2006-04-24, 18:59

I think you can confirm this bug. I added 10 shows today, I didn't follow your guide exactly, I didn't change channel every time, and I cannot confirm it went into hibernation every time, but I know for sure it did several of the 10 times. If you need I will set up a better test tomorrow with channel change every time.

My test result was as follows:

1. recording ok (this started before any hibernation)
2. recording ok
3. recording 6kb
4. recording 6kb
5 recording ok
6. recording 6kb
7. recording ok
8 recording 6kb
9. recording ok
10 recording ok
