Red line in TV Server config (1 Viewer)

[doskabouter]

Why is there a red line at the bottom of the screen? Didn't notice it before, but I guess there's something wrong?
see attached screenshot

 

[mm1352000]

Never seen anything like that before.
It is still there when you close and reopen TV Server configuration?

 

[doskabouter]

I just put my tvcard in a different pci slot, and now it isn't red anymore...
Very strange, because in the previous slot (when it showed the red line) scanning was slow, no channel names were found (they were all named "unknown "<hex value>, and no epg was found, but I had a clear signal, and good quality video.
So there definitely was *something* wrong, but what remains a bit of a mystery.

Now I'm just back to my previous config, with the intermittend tv card stopped working as posted here

Hi there,

Isnt the red line just showing a fault with a card?

If you click on the Server, it will show the list of cards...the "faulty" one having a small red line through it?

[doskabouter]

That could well be the case (didn't notice that in the config), but I'm just about ready scanning/renaming/reordering all channels and I don't want to swithc pci slots again.

However, it is strange that if a card is faulty, that I still get clear picture, but no channelname/epg

 

[Jay_UK]

Hi there....

Apologises.... when I say "faulty", I dont mean the device is faulty..... I meant that TVServer can not longer communicate with it.

I have had it in the past where I have moved and swapped cards... the original card details are left orphaned in TVServer (you get a red line for that device), but the moved/replaced card is automatically detected and installed.

I am trying to remember if simply restarting TVServer cleared the orphaned details, or where I havd to manually remove the old device from TVServer.

J.

 

[doskabouter]

Ok, I figured that already, no need to apologize
I can't manually remove those orphans, nor does a restart of the pc/service help, but they're not eating any bread, so they can stay there quietly

I do have another problem (now that I have your and mm's attention)
Just scanned all channels, and it's looking as expected, however, some (2 or 3 out of 40+) channels won't preview.

[mm1352000]

I do have another problem (now that I have your and mm's attention)

Post full logs please - I want to see the TsWriter info.
As you can see, timeshifting is started... then immediately stopped before preview is attempted.

(PS: the problem in your other thread is not related to your tuner)

 

[doskabouter]

Will do that as soon as the issue arises!.

For now (after pulling out the card, and rescanning channels) it works, but don't know for how long

 

[doskabouter]

Well, it's happened again.

After I discovered that it was't working, I tried stoppig the tvservice (in the tvservice config).
After a while it was still stopping, so I decided to kill the process in the taskmanager, and that led to a bsod (sadly there's no monitor connected to my server so I don't know what it was about)

Anyway, here are the logfiles.
Description: At 20:22:07 I stopped watching a channel (which had some framedrops/hickups, but is on a different card (not the problematic one)) and at 20:22:22 I selected RTL 8 (on the problematic card), but it didn't start playing.

I would really appreciate if someone can give a clue on how to solve this, because it's driving me nuts!

Edit: could it be the epg grabber not being stopped properly?
Last lines in epg.log should probably are

EpgCard: card: 2 stop grabbing
EpgGrabbing: Stop - user epg
