Today I had another failed recording. The error was "Failed to start device: 0x80070008", but when I try to watch live tv it says "unable to communicate with recording service". Logs attached.
In gbpvr we could mark a show for watching, so that if live-tv was not active the selected show would automatically start in live-tv when the time arrives. I kind'a miss that feature, can we have it back in npvr?
I was setting up a machine and started off with a PCTV nano stick 290e DVB-T2 thingy.
When set to use DVB EPG the TV guide was not populating the HD channels and I was just wondering if this was normal or an oddity?
I didn't want to post in the support area as I am remote from the machine and couldn't answer questions or provide logs for some days.
Not sure if this as an mvpmcx2 issue or an NPVR one so I'll post here.
Difficult to quantify but we have issues with every recording when played back on the PCH where we can skip forward fine during earlier parts of the recording but, later on, a skip forward will drop playback to the recordings menu.
OK, sounds weird but, for example, some channels have advert breaks every 10 minutes - with a 1 hour recording I can skip without problems 10,20,30 minutes into the recording but around the 40 minute mark, a single skip forward will drop back to Recordings - then again at ~50 minutes. I never seem to get dropouts at the earlier stages however.
Similarly weird, a 2 hour recording will usually behave when skipping well into the second hour but around 1hr 15mins - 1hr 20mins that's when trouble starts. In other words skipping at 40mins or 50mins behaves fine.
I've included the log of trying to skip an episode of Marple tonight around 1hr 16mins into it. The problem starts with...
Code:
2011-09-10 23:10:00.113 [DEBUG][3] User pressed: Right
...and shows the dropout to the Recordings menu at...
The worst bit is attempting to get back to where I was watching - I often find Resume will work but with a timeline starting at 0:0:0 or Play actually resumes (again with 0:0:0 start for timeline). I end up having to Unwatch, Play, Stop, Play then skip X minutes to get back to where I was....my wife hasn't got the hang of that yet. :eek:
There is a problem with VMR9 FSE - right click (menu) doesnot working - and it is logical in FSE. But sometimes i need to stop playback/exit FSE (when something went wrong) and i am not able to do it by remote/mouse. So i think it will be good if NPVR using FSE, right mouse click = stop playback/return to VMR.
It is possible to filter Search to remove all radio stations ?
I'm seeing problems with 2.2.6 and the sorting of the various Recordings listing screens.
For the Ready Recordings, sorting seems to work fine. But for the What's New, Pending Recordings, and Recurring Recordings listings, NPVR displays the pop-up saying that it is sorting them, but then it doesn't actually do the sort.
