Newbie help (scheduled recording not working) (1 Viewer)

[nmckay]

Hi all,

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I couldn't find anything obvious in the FAQ.

I have just installed media portal (0.2) and am generally
very happy. I am having an issue with scheduling recording.
When I schedule a recording 'once' it starts to record
at the correct time. When I 'record now' it also works.

However when I try to schedule a 'record every day at this time'
or 'record mon-fri' it takes the scheduling: but the record
never seems to start. I am sure there is something
really basic I am missing.

Thanks heaps for any help
Niall

PS: (using DVICO Plus PCI (Xpress I think)) card

Hmm, thats odd. I don't usually use this type of recording, but I just did a test and it worked for me... Did you say it was listed ok in the scheduled recordings bit? Are you sure its not conflicting with another recording?

 

[infinite.loop]

do you have Power Scheduler enabled and configured?

Thanks for the help

Hi hoppy and infinityloop,

No I don't have Power Scheduler enabled and will
try it out today. (But I don't think I should need it?
I had the TV turned on for 'once' off recordings and
at the correct time media portal changed channels and
began recording. When I try the same thing for
'mon-fri' or 'everyday' nothing happens.) But will give
Power Scheduler a go.

One more thing. I am pretty sure recordings weren't conflicting.
I made sure I deleted all schedules before adding new ones.

Thanks again for your help.

scheduling and channel change problem

:is it simmilar to this issue? -> :http://www.testteam-mediaportal.com/Joomla/forum/showthread.php?t=561


Yes and no.

Yes: it is similar in that it won't change the channel to
record when watching another. I see this is a bug and
accept that it needs to be fixed (unless there is a workaround).


No: because it also doesn't work when I go out to the 'start' screen
either. (it doesn't seem to do it with a full on 'suspension' either, however I haven't tested this completely).

The only scheduled recording the works is a 'once off' record on
the channel that the tv was last on (at the correct time a small rec symbol appears). 'every day', 'mon-fri' etc
just don't record. If I try a scheduled 'once off' on a different
channel it doesn't work either.

Unlike your problem I do not get any pop ups/ record messages
or anything else. MP just seems not to recognise the scheduled
recordings - it doesn't even try to begin.

Thanks again
Niall

Niall, is there anything strange or an error in the MP log file when at the time the recording is supposed to start?
