pre- and post-recording with dual tuner colossus (1 Viewer)

[ik ben jos]

Hello,

I have a mediaportal setup with 2 colossus cards, connected to 2 set top boxes.
1 is connected via hdmi, the other is component.

When I try to record 2 shows following each other on the same channel, pre- and post-recording is not as it should.
The second show only starts recording when the first show stops recording.
This is the case for the component connected colossus, the hdmi one does is correct.

I have attached some logs to the post.
This is from a recording made last night to test what was going on.

Can someone explain what is happening?

Best regards,
Jos

Hello and welcome to the forum Jos

The problem is due to the fact that you've merged the channels for the 2 STBs so each channel has 2 tuning details. You can't do that successfully when the input settings (HDMI, component) for each tuning detail are different.

Best would be to use the same input settings for both STBs and get rid of the 2nd tuning detail for each channel. Otherwise you have to create different channel copies for each STB/Colossus.

Regards,
mm

Thanks for your quick reply!
