Avermedia TwinStar A825 (AF9015 BDA Filter) can't mux 2 channels from same stream (1 Viewer)

Here's another LOG.

This time a bit different:
- Re-scan Channels
- Record NINE. Starts recording and producing ts file.
- Open Mediaportal, watch GO! and NINE Recording stops.
- Using MP watch NINE - OK. But NINE Recording does not resume.

This sounds very similar to what I am seeing in logs...

It may be.

There's nothing obvious in the logs to explain why it's going wrong, as far as I can see, so I'm running out of ideas.

I suspect you've already tried this, but I'd completely uninstall MP & TV-server including the database, uninstall all of the tuner related software except for the actual drivers and then use something like ccleaner to clean up the registry. Then re-install MP+TV-server and try again.

There is "PMT timeout error" fix patch for MP 1.1.0 here - https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/submit-patches-mediaportal-tv-server-etc-325/patch-fix-no-pmt-pmt-timout-errors-67487/index3.html - if you feel like trying 1.1.0

MP 1.1 Addresses this issue - but could be improved still

Hi Tony,

Thanks for taking the time to look at it.

I upgraded to MP 1.1 BETA like you suggested and it does fix the issue. I can now record 2 Channels on all 3 tuners.

I did notice some apparent glitches though.

1) It recorded One Digital and Ten Digital on different tuners when it could have been one. It should have looked to find a tuner that was already recording that frequency/stream and used that tuner. Because it didn't, it prevented using the spare tuner for recording 2 other channels. It did this when I added 6 recordings at once. I thought this was odd, so I restarted the TV service and it arranged them correctly and recorded all 6 programs. I have attached log and pic of 6 channel recording.

2) Also, I watched it add all 6 recordings (viewed in TV server config Manual Control). It added them, then half disappeared, then they all came back. So it seems that it does reset after serviceid mismatch and restart recording, but it takes a little while (half a minute or so). I am not sure that anything can be done to speed it up.

Other than that - all good! Thanks for the help!

Regards,
Feizex.

PS. I use MP web manager. I had to configure it for MySQL because 1.1 uses that. And I had to set a default of 0 for series field in schedule table. See attached Pic.

There is some stuff about how tuners are allocated (for 1.1.0) here - https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/general-support-51/how-completely-disable-de-install-timeshift-37999/index3.html (the posts by infinityloop & tourettes).
