[QUOTE="johandm_be, post: 221879, member: 49464"] [b]TV-Server Version[/b]: svn 16619 [b]MediaPortal Version[/b]: 0.2.3.0 (release) [b]Windows Version[/b]: XP SP2 [b]1. TV Card[/b]: FireDTV [b]1. TV Card Type[/b]: DVB-S Hello, On some channels I get recordings that don't play (not even in VLC viewer). This does not happen on all channels, some channels work just fine. However, when I watch live TV on the troubled channels, that does work. I do notice that if I press "F3" in the TV view (to get the program info), it says : "No data available", which is also not normal. Now, I did the following experiment, and the outcome is a bit puzzling: 1) I started viewing (timeshifting) on one of the troubled channels, the audio/video is OK. From there, I "start recording" the channel I am watching. After a while I stop. 2) I am no longer watching live TV now. Now, I tell it to record the same channel. (so, this time without watching the same channel) The result is that file #1 is OK (plays audio & video fine) but file #2 does not play ! (screen remains black in both MP and VLC viewer) Conclusion : it appears like I can record off these channels, but only if I start the recording from within viewing (timeshifting) !! I have attached the tswriter logfile from TVserver for these 2 events, and also an analysis of the 2 recorded TS files with ProjectX. Forensic detectives_ Vanished-2008-01-07-10_40_log.txt is the first recording (and is OK) Forensic detectives_ Vanished-2008-01-07-10_40_1_log.txt is the 2nd recording (and is not OK) Note that tswriter shows this for the good recording: [I]07-01-2008 11:27:18 Recorder:pcr pid:1ffe 07-01-2008 11:27:18 Recorder:add video stream pid:203 07-01-2008 11:27:18 Recorder:add audio stream pid:58 07-01-2008 11:27:18 Recorder:add private stream pid:32 07-01-2008 11:27:18 Recorder:pmt pid:7df 07-01-2008 11:27:18 Recorder:serviceId:7df[/I] and this for the bad recording: [I]07-01-2008 11:29:48 Recorder:pcr pid:a6 07-01-2008 11:29:48 Recorder:add video stream pid:a6 07-01-2008 11:29:48 Recorder:add audio stream pid:1a8 07-01-2008 11:29:49 Recorder:add audio stream pid:1a9 07-01-2008 11:29:49 Recorder:add private stream pid:1dc 07-01-2008 11:29:49 Recorder:pmt pid:462 07-01-2008 11:29:49 Recorder:serviceId:2b69[/I] and this is in fact in line with what ProjectX reports about the files. I looked on the forum but I could not find a similar report. Has anybody else seen this problem ? Thanks! Johan. [/QUOTE]
