Since the RC releases i had the same behaviour...

If i press the "r" button to record a show, or select in the epg the record button the programm is scheduled and the row is inserted in the sql table but the recording is not started.

but if i close MP the recording is started in 2 seconds


it seams that the action is only fired if mp is closing.

any idea what this should be?

thx

Hi,
Not able to confirm this, but something else in your log seems weird(you also have a lot of errors & i'm not sure where they come from), you seems to be able to decrypt more channels then your limit(this could be a bug but i've tested that too but can't confirm, could be some limit on my system so who knows?):

card:1 typevbS is tuned to same transponder decrypting 6/4 channels

Btw, hope someone else can confirm this(maybe set icon to confirm & not bug(some might think it's already confirmed & added to Mantis )

I can't confirm this.
BTW According to the logs you seem to have some db troubles.
I would suggest reinstalling MP+TvServer and removing the whole db before installing again

Vista 32 English, never had this problem with DVB-T cards, just tried , but no failed recordings since 19069 decompose fix, with or without MP running when recording set.

Ok, i have single seat and one remote clien with the latest SVN builds.

My second installation on a pc shows me the same behaviour... (!?)

i push the record button...recording doesnt start (no file) .... closing mp (i'm watching all time the recording harddisk on the tv server) the file for the record appears after few seconds...

i dont know where the fault is...
i had this never on the pre RC releases, my decrypt limit on both FireDTV S2 cards on 4.

where i should look for this fault?

@gemx
do you realy think that i should drop the db and rebuild it again > where is the logic that this come from the db?

let me think, i had exported the tv settings from a pre RC version and imported this in the the RC realase.

ok i think i drop the db and do NOT import from the settings and do all options manualy (my wife is killing me if anything is lost)
and i have increased the decrypt to 8

i do tommorow some test with fres logs.

thx

Ok, new tests are done.

- I have rebuilded a new TVS DB on the SQL2005 express.
- Have not imported the old settings
- Installed a clean new installation of my desktop pc

Test started at 18:01
- select with the R button to record the show
- waited if the message is appearing for that the recording has startes, yes its appeard
- checked the recording folder on the server... no new file
- closed at 18:03 MediaPortal
- file is created

logfiles attached, MP logfile was created in debug mode.




maybe this info helps:
i'm writing at moment a new plugin and if i write with the
i have noticed too that if i write with this method

 using (MediaPortal.Profile.Settings xmlwriter = new MediaPortal.Profile.Settings(Config.GetFile(Config.Dir.Config, "test.xml")))
              {
                   xmlwriter.SetValue(SectionName, "Titel01", txtTitel01.Text);
  }

a entry in the config file, the updates fires til MP is closing(!?)

> that behaviour i have noticed on 3 different PCs.

can anyone check this strange behaviour?

Hi,
MoPhat, do you use a own modified version of TV Server?
Seems like something it's not cleaned up after you have watched a channel or do you try to use 8 streams/decryptions @ once?.

[MoPhat]

No, nothing special here => RC1 with latest SVN and the PVRScheduler plugin on the TVS side.

Seems like something it's not cleaned up after you have watched a channel or do you try to use 8 streams/decryptions @ once?.

I had only set in the card config that the FireDTVS2 can encrypt 8 channels simultaneous.

For that, i can reduce the encrypt value to 2 and make new log files...


Whats about this error message in the error.log?

The strange is, if i close MP the recording is starts..., schedules from the past for the future are without any problem recorded (!?!?)


I have no clue what its wrong, please help me... my wife is killing me soon
