Hello again

 


Okay.



Okay.



I assume by "this morning" you mean 13 December? Here in NZ it is already 14 December. ;)

In other words, this BBC Radio 2 channel has 1 DVB-T tuning detail and 1 DVB-S tuning detail. However, TV Server can only use 2 of your 4 tuners - the first DVB-T tuner and the first DVB-S tuner - to tune it. That's because the channel is only mapped to the previously mentioned tuners (as I previously suspected might be the case). This is a bit unusual. The vast majority of people map all channels to all tuners to enable TV Server to perform the maximum number of simultaneous recording and/or timeshifting sessions with the available tuners.

Without getting into the nitty gritty details, this means that tuner 3 is deadlocked from that point on. Any attempts to timeshift or record TV or radio with tuner 3 will fail. MP will lock up and you'll have to kill it with the task manager etc. Your attempt to start "Dave" prior to "Radio 2" only succeeded because TV Server used tuner 5 and avoided tuner 3.


Now the reason for the deadlock, and the solution to the problem (hopefully!) is to follow the same advice given here:

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/recording-failed-to-start.128150/#post-1106639


The specific list of channels in that post doesn't apply to you, but everything else - especially the principle of not using non-24 hour channels like CBeebies for EPG grabbing - does. CBeebies happened to be the trigger for deadlock this time around, but it could just as easily have been BBC 4 etc.
