Please help : GBPVR Crashing or giving errors during timeshift or record

[azchris]

I'm using 0.99.5.
Live TV mode is ok and I used to be able to timeshift and record (dvr-ms).

Now When try to timeshift, I get one of two results:

1. Timeshift works the first time, but then if I exit timeshift,
then try to timeshift again, I get error message:

Error: object reference not set to an instance of the object

I also noticed that the ".tmp" files and .dvr-ms file in the LiveTV Buffer
directory are not deleted automatically
I have to kill the GBPVRRecordingservice.exe task to unlock these files.

2. SOmetimes, GBPVR hangs, or Crashes completely:

"GBPVRRecordingservice.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience"

and a message:

Failed to communicate with the recording service

Also, I get this message when I try to back to Live TV:


If try to go to Live TV:
Error: no connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

I can get back to timeshift working once again, if I end-task all of the
GBPVR processes ,then enter/exit config (which restarts the recording service and Tray).


This is driving me crazy because It used to work.
It seems like the basic timeshift/recording is working
but something is getting messed up and locking the file access.
:mad:

Please help !!!!!

thanks

Reproduce both of these problems, then zip and attach the logs for each and I'll take a look.

I already did a system restore in WinXP and that seems to have cleared it up.
(I hope the problem does not happen again.... )

I would have liked to know what the actual problem was
because I tried several reinstalls of GB-PVR, .NET2.0, drivers,
directX, and messing with the Filters and nothing seemed to work.

I have some logs that I could send but I would not be able to try
any recommendations you may have ... so it may be best to
drop the request.

Sorry to trouble you and thanks again
