Hello experts!

First of all: I'm new to MP and I'm very impressed by Your work! Well done!

My Problem: I use MP on 2003 Server and it works fine and fast - except recording. I can not record anything - even timeshifting doesn't work. Everytime I click on "record" or "timeshift on" the TV output is stopped and nothing is to see any more. When I stop recording TV output can be switched on again.

In my error.log I've found:
2007-01-18 08:59:13.225625 [ERROR][6]: mpeg2:FAILED to add Videoanalyzer (You need at least Windows XP SP1!!)
2007-01-18 08:59:13.319375 [ERROR][6]: mpeg2tartRecording() FAILED to create recording

What can I do? In some of the forum postings I've read, that MP works fine on 2003 Server - so this might not be a general OS problem - right?

BTW: With the original WinTV software recording and timeshifting works fantastic (even with sceneo TVCentral).

for Your help and "Keep it on!".

MP's standard setting is to record in your profile. Probably, your profile is subject to a quota...
Try reconfigure the 'Record'-location to a folder in which you have read-write access AND have a lot of space!

Cheers,

Hi Havoc!
Thanks for Your idea. But I've changed the setting already, so my recording device is accessable and has 350GB free space.

I want to use MP by all means - but I need it under 2003 server. Does anyone have any more ideas?

Thanks a lot
Karsten

If you are not using TVEngine 3 and using the version 2 engine then you will need to install the MS Stream Buffer Engine. There should be some threads in the forum on running on 2003 server, look 6 months and older.
