[Bug] Switching to Channel with running recording fails in RC5 from EPG-View (1 Viewer)

[dedi]

I can't switch to a channel that is currently recording. Either "watch from now" or "watch from beginning" just does not react at all, the current channel keeps playing.

When I stop playback of TV completely, its possible to start watching a channel that is currently recording.

My testscenario (for the logs) was the following: Was on a SD Channel, switch to HD (HD suisse, recording) fail, switch to SD (3+, recording too) fail, HD fail again, HD from begin fail too, SD (SF zwei, same transponder as HD suisse, not recording) success.

Its a fresh MP install (no upgrade) on a fresh Win7

Update: it works when using the "channel-list-menu" (which does not show a dialog window asking to play from live or from beginning), so this only appears in the EPG-Window.

Cant confirm. works here as expected.
But your logs contains this
2010-06-29 20:30:39.710917 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: EPG: _recordingList was not available
What type of recordigs you use?

 

[dedi]

The type is "always on this channel". But I just tested with a single recording, same behavior.

 

[dedi]

yeah it must to do something with [Info.][MPMain(1)]: EPG: _recordingList was not available

but I don't have any other "recording listing" issues. They are on my NAS, and the permissions are set correctly. Recording is no problem, as playback them too. What could be the source for that?

Also to mention, this behavior is consistent, it's NEVER possible to change to a recording channel in EPG view when TV is already running.

AW: Switching to Channel with running recording fails in RC5 from EPG-View

Hi dedi, Hi romuz,

I can always reproduce the problem, let me show you, how:
Starting MP 1.1.0.0 RC5
In main menu goto to TV (TV pic start on the right, left the menu with records, channel, timer and so on is shown), TV is on
Start TV showing in fullscreen mode
Press record button on remote
Select actual program
Show record ok window

So, select different channel with channels up/down -> OK
Jump into tv guide (no TV pic in background), jump from un-recorded tv channel to recording tv channel, start from beginning -> OK; press stop-button to change back tv guide, change to recording channel, start showing actual program -> OK

Switching back to unrecorded channel, fullscreen tv mode
Press 2 times Info-Button on remote (first, OSD with program info, time, and some other menu buttons are shown, then after second time (main menu call) and then pressing OK at the "Program" bar, the tv guide is coming up, tv picture still in background;
change to recording tv channel -> nothing happend, tv shows the actual program, not the recording channel
test the same thing with the "show actual program" instead of "show the recorded program from beginning" -> same problem

Attachet you will find the logs from MP

Thank you for correctíng me, if I´m wrong (that´s my first bug-report, and I hope, that´s all done correctly on my site...

rkelly, sorry but your archive seems broken. i cant open it.

 

[rkelly]

Hi romuz,

Strange....
I always can open the archive, also on different workstations (XP, Vista, Ie7/8, Winrar, IZarc as archive-programs..) and can extract all files included.

I´ll upload the file again in this reply; please test, if you can open it now.

Bye, rkelly

That´s right. Did you find any problems in the logs?

BTW: Is the format of my explanation OK or should I change something in the future?
