I thought on medium settings one could record a hour at only around 2gb? Do I have a setting wrong somewhere? My PVR-150MCE is set to medium record settings. I also set my recordings in MP to medium.

    Hi,

    I have also problems with the quality settings on my PVR cards. On the PVR 350 it does not work at all.

    The settings for the PVR 150 work, if you set the quality explicitly for each recording! So after you sheduled the recording you can set the quality to eg. medium. The standard setting seems not to be used...

    HTH, Flip.

    I tried that but it didn't seem to change from defaut. Only setting that you can really tell a difference in is low.

    Should I disable to quality control in the MP setup under my PVR-150MCE settings?

    This is strange. Why should LOW work and medium not? Hmmm. computers are a mysterium...

    Yes, you could give this a try. Thats what I am doing with my PVR 350. I use the Hauppauge Tweak Tool to set the bitrate external and MP does not change it. So this is quite ok.

    HTH, Flip.

Disabling the option "Single seat setup: force RTSP usage" under "TV/Radio", "Advanced Options" resolved the issue. After I disabled this option, I was able to delete the recordings the first time...

On 5/24 for some reason we received 194 connections between 10:54 and 11:05 triggering a denial of service attack ban. The logs show it was lifted on 5/25, but I still see the entry in iptables.

    I compliment you on the thoroughness of your investigations. (y) Unfortunately, I don't have any ideas what the problem might be. :( Perhaps someone else will post with some suggestions. :unsure: -- from CyberSimian in the UK
