No info message when viewing channel and recording starts (1 Viewer)

[disaster123]

Hello!

To reproduce:
1.) Create two overlapping recordings
2.) View a channel while the first recording is running
3.) wait until the 2nd recording starts
4.) live tv suddenly stops - without any message - mp stops responding to any commands

Happens to me regularly.

Also if you are recording that channel you are watching It will interrupt the recording to start the scheduled one. Often but not always it appears to lock 2 all of my tuners too and on occasion not release them again after the recording ( in the TVsetup it the starts is ether both recording the same channel one 1 recording and one Idle in the same channel). forcing me to Stop or kill the Tv server then restart the Tv server.

Would be nice if it would only try to utilize 1 tuner for a recording Preferably an Idle one unless one is not idle with that channel available on it. But it does successfully start a new recording sometimes on if they are back to back on the same channel.

Hi,

I don't know much about DVB-C (well, nothing actually) but I'd guess you have enabled 'stop live TV to record' at some point, so that when the first recording is running and live TV is running, you are using both tuners.

In theory if the recordings are overlapping on the same channel, you should not need a third tuner to start recording the second programme. However, it looks as though this is what is happening.

As always, I guess your logs might help.

Best wishes,

Mark

for shure i activated stop live TV to record. But when i want to view a channel and it is not possible there should be a popup message which informs me that no free card is available. This works fine when i want to start a channel through TVGuide but not when switching channels directly (F7, F8) and also it should inform we when a channel stops caused by a recording.
