problem : TV recording (1 Viewer)

[atlantic]

Hi

I have a problem of tv recording (dvb-t).
When I schedule a recording (for exemple a movie with duration 2h), only 10 in 20min are really recorded.
Nevertheless I see the «*REC*» icon on the screen all the time of the recording.
This is a clean installation (XP pro Sp3, MP1.0.2). My tuner : terratec cinergy 2400idt.

I don't understand

Someone could help me?

Thanks

(sorry for my poor english)

Hi,

First thought - have you got the recording and timeshifting folders setup correctly in the TV Server Configuration?

Cheers

Hi Graham

Yes I configured a recording folder and a timeshifting folder (ex: F:\Video\tv recording and F:\video\timeshifting).

For each tuner? Dual tuner will mean you have to setup for each one

 

[atlantic]

yes, for each tuner.
I changed the priority between the 2 tuner to see if the problem disappeared (tuner 2 highest priority instead of tuner 1) . Same problem.

Got to head to bed so top of mind stuff here ......

Is it always after the same time when it stops? e.g. 10 minutes? Do you have the Powerscheduler plugin enabled? There are settings in there which might be interferring - I know you have to set them in the TV Server Config and MP Config. If it's not always happening at the same time, does it stop recording at a time when another recording starts perhaps or you have started watching TV? Dual tuners will only allow recording and watching of 2 TV stations at the same time. There is an option somewhere to override live TV where a recording starts and another is running to avoid TV recordings from being interupted.

Other than that, I suggest uploading some logs for a more experianced person to help. I'm a bit of an IT novice, but have been using MP for a year now.

Hope some of the above helps.

Good luck.

My last 8 recording were bad, yes.
yes I use powerscheduler (tv server and client. It's a single seat installation).
No, I didn't schedule 2 recording at the same time.
No, I didn't watch tv during a recording.
I will schedule a recording and I will post the log.

Hi,

Here are the logs of my last recording (21 october, 20:30, "Question maison", duration 1h).
The powerscheduler started my htpc on time. The recording started too, the REC icon was on screen until the end of the schedule. But only the 8 first minutes were really recorded on my hard disk.
My last 9 recording were bad too (only 8 to 30 minutes recorded).
No error in the file error.log.
I don't understand.

Someone could help me?
Thanks.
