I have multiple TV tuner cards. My Hauppauge HVR-950Q works fine, but the HVR-955Q seems to pretty consistently stop recording early. I initially thought it was an issue with recording 2 shows simultaneously, since that's the only time the 955Q is ever used. So I ran some experiments.
Here's my summary:
- Recording on 955Q without watching - fails after short period of time regardless of whether or not other shows are being recorded
- Recording on 955Q while watching - same result
- Simply watching live TV on 955Q - works just fine
- Recording on 955Q using Hauppauge WinTV software - works just fine
The really strange part is that MediaPortal seems to think the show is still recording, as indicated by the big red dot. Also, the lights on the tuner indicate that it is on and active. The logs don't appear to show anything obvious at that point either. Logs are attached, but for clarity, here's the timeline of one of my trials (2016-04-28):
23:11 - TV stream turned on to watch live
~23:19:30 - Hit record button to start recording
After ~40s, the TV stream froze and data stopped being written to the external HD
~23:21:30 - Manually stopped the TV stream, then cancelled the recording
Anyone have any idea why this would be happening? Is the HVR-955Q just not compatible with MediaPortal?
Thanks,
Chris
