[QUOTE="hafblade, post: 885743, member: 110423"] Hi guys, I've got some issue with the TV Server. I reinstalled my whole system yesterday because I bought a new SSD to install my MediaPortal on. Before the reinstallation I used ForTheRecord for 6 months but I wanted to switch back to MP TV Server and to MPExtended etc. Everything worked fine when installing the system but I've got some problems with parallel recordings especially when they are at the same transponder. I tried some testing cases with which I want to show my problems. 1) Try to record "Das Erste HD" and "ZDF HD" which are on the same transponder. I tried this with debug mode on (see attached logs) and it didn't work. He always says that there are two recordings which can not be done at the same time. Due to the fact that they are on the same transponder and that I have 4 tv cards in my system this should not happen. 2) Try to record some other recordings after that. Furthermore I recorded some more channels. They all worked (up to 8) but when I wanted to stop the recordings at the 5th or 6th stop MediaPortal crashed and I even wasn't able to stop the TV Server service. 3) Than I tried out some "Manual Control" and "Test channel" testing in the TV configuration. First I tried again to start "Das Erste HD" and "ZDF HD" at the same time. Like you can see in the attached screenshot the system says "All cards are busy". [ATTACH]108032[/ATTACH] Then I tried some other channel "ARTE HD" which is also on the same transponder and it works. The channel is timeshifting on the same tv card. [ATTACH]108033[/ATTACH] After that I tried to change the priorities of my tv cards. The first one was the build in PCI tv card and I decided to lower the priority. After a restart I tried again but the system uses the same tv card to show the first timesthift. (see testchannel3.jpg). [ATTACH]108034[/ATTACH] How can it be that the server ignores the priorities? Do you have some idea why channels on the same transponder don't work at the same time? After the tests I sometimes had the problem that I wasn't even able to start a recording on the channels of this transponder. In the MP gui the channel flashes red (for recording) and after 1 seconds it stops recording again. Some idea? Thanks for your help. :) [/QUOTE]
