is there a way to stop recording or timeshifting started by remote client ?
my notebook crashed and I can't stop initiated recording without stopping the service and killing recording from server side client...

    stop the service and start it again.

    but if its a scheduled recording, it will start again.

    you can also start the client again and then stop the recording with the client

    I agree, I'm having trouble stopping a 'manual' record.

    In previous versions of mediaportal on the MyTV page after selecting 'Start Recording', it changed to 'Stop Recording' (or something like that). Now, it stays as 'Start Recording'. Deleting the recording from 'Schedule Recordings' does NOT stop.

    After many restarts, I finally had to go into the tv database and remove the tuples referring to the 'schedule' recording.

    I think the 'Start/Stop' recording switching disappeared when i migrated to the TV-server and client plugin. I'm pretty sure i'm running

    MediaPortal-svn--04-30-2007--01-02-Rev14454
    tvengine3-04-30-2007--01-22h--Rev14454

    but an earlier tv-plugin (due to a BUG in the plugin that stopped the TV working)

    I hope this is just a feature 'missing in action' due to such a mammoth effort by the developors , and not a design decision to remove the stop recording (or maybe I'm just going batty from staring at a blue screen some much!)

    cheers,

    Trent

    Can you please describe how to delete the recording in the database?
    I have the same problem as you did but I started the recording from the TV server management console. The console crashed and now I can’t get rid of the recording.

    Thank you

    You can use the SQL Server Studio Express (free to download from Microsoft - see the TvServer Installation guide for the link). With that tool, you can browse the database and insert / delete records from the Tvserver Database.

    The database structure is pretty straight forward, so I think the table you need to look for is called "recordings".

    hope it helps

    Thanks est68.

    I also found out I could stop it from MediaPortal/My Tv.

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1
