TV-Server on WHS - Collection of fixes and workarounds (2 Viewers)

Ok Larry... all done.

I have attached my logs, and also screenshot as per your instructions.

You will see in the log that the script is trying to set my task for 47:00 PM

The screen shot will also show you an error.

I think this will be all you need to fix this !


Cheers

Hi vvulture,

that's not so easy, i Think first.
Microsoft wrote about the parameter:

The format for StartDate varies with the locale selected for the local computer in Regional and Language Options in Control Panel. Only one format is valid for each locale.

The valid date formats are listed in the following table. Use the format most similar to the format selected for Short date in Regional and Language Options in Control Panel on the local computer.

The following code is for English (United States).
If it doesen't work, i need your short Date Format.

please replace the code after the SQL-Statement:

if err.number=0 then
          'Nur wenn kein Fehler aufgetreten ist, normales vorgehen
          if isdate(rs1("Start")) then 'Wenn Aufnahmen programmiert sind oder aktuelle eine läuft...
          Datu0=rs1("Start")
          Datu1=right("00"&month(datu0),2)&"/"&right("00"&day(datu0),2)&"/"&year(datu0)
          Datu2=right("00"&hour(datu0),2)&":"&right("00"&minute(datu0),2)

             if rs1("Start")<now() then

Hi Larry.
Sorry for my last post... I wasn't trying to rush you.

I have tried the change and ran the syntax from log file in CMD prompt.
The time is now correct, but the date is the wrong way arround.
You have " MM/DD/YYYY" as in the US format.
I have " DD/MM/YYYY" like european format.

Screenshot and log attached.

Cheers

Then you have to change the line with the Datu1 parameter:

Old

Datu1=right("00"&month(datu0),2)&"/"&right("00"&day(datu0),2)&"/"&year(datu0)

new:

Datu1=right("00"&day(datu0),2)&"/"&right("00"&month(datu0),2)&"/"&year(datu0)

Just wanted you guys to know, I used your guide to get tv server running on my WHS machine with success. The only changes I followed were to use the pdvd 9 trial. I could not find the pdvd8 trial without resorting to warez sites. Didn't want to go there

Anyway, I did have to rename the config files as described in the thread, also I do get errors when going into the config for tvserver, saying it is an unsupported configuration. However it works fine.

Other than live tv anyway.

When viewing live tv after about 2 minutes the video and audio both start to freeze and restart about every 4 or 5 seconds like clockwork. The strange thing is I can record the same file and go into recorded tv and play from there while the file is still recording and it plays without issue.

I am not using rtsp streaming as I have the 4tr plugin for tv with the use ts option selected.

What hardware do You use at the HomeServer.

This Weekend i Installed MP on an HomeServer with a Sempron 3000 CPU.
The Server got an CPU-Usage at about 100 % every few minutes.

I didn't had much Time to search for the problem.
After i deactivate the Service of the Windows Desktop Search, the Server didn't reach the 100% CPU Usage and live TV didn't freeze.
