Quicky question UK DVB-T freeviewers (1 Viewer)

[johnps]

Anyone with MULTIPLE dvb-t cards in UK able to record BBC2 from either scheduled or manual (from control panel) - can you confirm that recordings from this channel play back?

It might just be me, again.

i can check tonight for you if no-one else does it before me

Cheers funkstar, I've tried since with a lot of card combinations and I ALWAYS get a zero bytes file, can watch the channel while it's timeshifting and recording but always get a file of 0 bytes.

I can record every other channel, no problems.

I reported an error a while back in which a second manual recording always failed, however I never realised that in my tests that channel was bbc2

BUT, I cannot dismiss something crackers in my config.

I did have this problem (10 days ago or so). I thought it was probably me so I deleted the TVLibaray database and re-scanned the cards. Since then I've had no problems recording BBC2.

I only have one card, but I am also getting problems with channel 2 not recording

I've been messing around with this for a while now, there is an intermittent problem recording BBC2, not timeshifting, that works fine -

Its a problem with .mpg and there are lots of:

21-02-2007 11:25:29 CPesPacket::Fullbuffer 1451 1451

entries in tsWriter.log

I'm still investigating though...

I've also tried this with only one tuner and I have cleared out the db and removed and re-installed various versions of tvserver, plugin and mp

I get something similar - it seems to randomly affect BBC1 and BBC2 with missed recordings - looking in manual control it shows the card as being idle, but it is allocated to the scheduler and is timeshifting. I have to stop and start the service again to clear it.

I get exactly the same problem with BBC1 and BBC2, and all the other channels on that same multiplex. No problems with other channels.

I have also noticed far more picture breakup when using the TVServer compared with the standard mediaportal recording

 

[marmite]

I have the same problem, 0 length recordings on BBC1 & BBC2 - I can't be sure it doesn't happen on other channels also, but seems ok on some others e.g. CH4.

Any news on a resolution / workaround?

I've just found out, after reading this thread:
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...ytes-t14514.html?t=14514&highlight=Fullbuffer

.. that I do not suffer from this problem if I change "Recording format" to .ts


Btw: I have 1 DVB-T card.


Is anyone else "fixed" by changing to .ts?
