Scheduled TV Recordings (1 Viewer)

[doogle]

I hope somone can help - please .. "She Who Must Be Obeyed" is not impressed that TV recordings don't work!

Scheduled TV Recordings are not working correctly. When I do test recording all works ok. But then later recordings do not work. Very strange. My tests included allowing MP to put PC into S3.

See attached logs: I scheduled "Film 2009 with J Ross" at 2305 last night but it did not record and remained in the scheduler list.

I'm also unsure of all the possible ways to leave the PC before it goes to S3:

Should MP be left running? On Basic Home screen or not?

Should I select Sleep from MP menu or use windows standby or let MP do it?

Reinitialise Tuner/TVService or not?

Why have Powerscheduler settings for both TVServer & client? should settings for both be the same?

Your logs say you are running a master\slave setup, this is not supported.

Check how many databases are operational in sql, use the sql management studio express to see this, there should only be 2, as in the picture below, if more try deleting the unwanted one.



If that does not work then try next thing.

Uninstall TVServer\client plugin, when the uninstaller asks what type of uninstall, take option 2, this will just remove files relating to TVServer, when it connects to sql database, after it goes green there is a delete button, select that so now you have a clean start and can just reinstall TVServer\TVClient plugin and re configure, don't forget to use the svn installer, no need to touch the MP1.0 installer

Not sure how I had master/slave setup, I always select single seat install. Anyway, there was indeed a 3rd db, looks like an RC2. Deleted now, so let's see what happens.

Thanks very nmuch for your fast rand helpful response

deleting the 3rd db has not fixed this. On to next step: how do I find svn installer - is it just the original exe?

Thanks, 2nd option has worked.

After a few daysof Scheduled TV working great, it has stopped working as before, where scheduled programmes remain in scheduled list and recordings don't happen. Please helps ...

Still a problem in 1.0.1

I did a complete cleanup and a fresh install of 1.0.1, but my scheduled recordings are not working, other than the first scheduled recording did work.

Logs attached

Scheduled Recordings not working

Hi all MP members,

Further to my previous post regarding this topic with MP 1.0.0.0, scheduled recordings still do not start after installing MP 1.0.1.0.

Manual recordings work fine and all other media plays perfectly (Live TV, Movies, Videos, Pictures - both sound and video fine).

I've even upgraded my Motherboard and CPU with exactly the same results.

Please help - it must be something silly.
Rich
