Re: cancelling recordings fails

1: from the EPG select a series episode
2: set an 'Every time on this channel' timer
3: select any episode but the one you selected in (1) in the list and 'Cancel Show'
4: watch it cancel the episode from (1), not the episode you selected.
4a: for old timers the initial episode wont be in the list and nothing gets cancelled.

For bonus points:
5: watch TVServer record every episode whether you cancel them or not. Highly annoying with the BBC repeating some shows 8 or more times in a week.

BTW: this happened in the last (supposedly 'last before 1.10 release') SVN but you squeezed out another one before I could report it. No idea how many versions this has been in, the SVN's have been far too unreliable on my PC to use in anger.

There's also a longstanding UI bug in the radio EPG, use the return key to switch to the single channel view and it just flickers but doesn't switch.

Finally (for now) is there any way to make the installer set the TVServer service recovery options to restart after errors? Forgetting to do it manually is a great way to lose entire weekends of recording

Re: mini TV Guide empty

You probably have the same problem as I did here. The bug is apparently still in the code. The workaround is in the next post of the same thread.

Hi,

test setup:
single seat tv client and server, MySQL server is on different computer.

test synopsys:
1. clear alle logs
2. reboot
3. after MP has started goto TV
4. press tvguide: all information is in there
5. exit tvguide
6. press channels
7. mini tvguide 'playing now' pops up: both channel names and channel info states: no data available
8. exit MP and run log collector

logs attached.

when watching live TV and pressing 'ok' the mini EPG displayed here also has no information in it.

please not that I run a single seat but that I use a MySQL instance on a different server.
This was introduced when I decided to use my own MySQL server, so previous SVN also has this issue.

hope this helps.
Keep up the good work!

regards,
Ruud.

Re: Mp crashing in unknown pattern.

Hi.

Here is logs about crash. Mp is in normal use: zapping, using teletex,
some channels might have had normal dvb subtitles.

I hope logs have catched some clues, as these few things that dev's wanted us to
look at in first page of this therad are quite new, i mean Mp has been more stable
about a month ago. Now this crash happens totally without any certain behavior i do.
Sometimes it crashes just after i've rebooted and started to watch first channel after reboot.
Sometimes it happens only after using teletex and few hours later. No pattern how to make it happen.

I'm sorry not been able to help more. My system specs are just below my avatar.


regards

EDIT:

Just happened again. And log shows the same as attaced log:

2010-02-07 12:48:10.601994 [ERROR][Teletext Updater(36)]: MediaPortal: Unhandled exception occured
2010-02-07 12:48:10.674998 [ERROR][Teletext Updater(36)]: Exception ystem.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: image

That's killing my Mp

I looked a code a bit and i don't understand how that image variable could be null as it is created few lines above hmm...

Maybe if this RenderPage is called twice in a row before previous call has not ended.

I think it's because LockMemoryImageTexture fails. And one of the reason it fails could be due to AllocResources is done in the rendering loop, so allocation has not been doen yet. Or maybe you are running out of gfx memory, so allocation is never done.

Hi Pirppuli,
thanks for pointing that out. my SQL server is indeed on Linux (ClearOS), but the proposed solution / workaround is not a good solution (hence the word workaround as it may break other applications that rely on my database server.
This should be listed as a bug, but I understand that this is not on one of the priority lists.

regards,
Ruud.

Re: MediaPortal SVN-Snapshot:-02-06-2010 13-59h - Revision:24975.rar

On my system channel change is always been a problem. Tried different SVN's. System hangs after some channel changes or "cannot start graph" or "channel is not in your abbonement (or something similar, don't know exactly..)" appears. Workeround 1 is reinserting the smartcard for my digital everywhere sat card. nr2 is first tune to a free to air channel e.g. arte hd. then after a while tune to a scrambed channel. Not directly, that never works. If this is fixed I'm having a 100% system..
logs atached.

cheers!

@Fredd_1001
are you able to play ARD HD / ZDF HD with old SVN and MS DTV Win7 codec?

Using MS DTV Win7 Codec gives indeed a bad picture on different HD channels, allso with the SVN I'm using.
