I have an Hauppage PVR-500, which is an dual tv-tuner card.
But now I discover that I can only record one channel at a time.

If I have two recordings like below:

Movie 1) From 20:00 to 21:30
Movie 2) From 21:00 to 23:00

It will start to record Movie 1, but then it will not start with the record of Movie 2, until the recording is finnished around 21:30. So now I am missing the first 30 minutes! :(

It have been working before I updated to 1.1.

All the channels are mapped to each tuner in the TVServer setup, so I find it a bit strange.

I would really like to have the support for two recordings at once (kinda the idea with a dual tuner card :eek:) ).

Any one have an idea to what is wrong?

I have tried to set mediaportal to debug, so it should log, but I cannot find any log files or log directories? :(

    Make sure that all channels have been mapped to both cards.

    Did you use the special MP Debug (specific name can differ a bit) shortcut for this?

    You are the first who actually can not produce logs instead of just forgetting it / thinking it is not needed :)

    They are. I can also record one channel, and then view another, or the same channel at the same time. It is just recording of two channels at the same time, that is not working.

    Hm. No, I have changed the settings to run in debug mode, and then started it is a normal. (Could be I am an MP dumbass) ;).
    I will see if I can find the debug shortcut.

    Solved. I found out that one of the tuners was setup to an not existing folder when recording. :)
