DVB-S Multirecord failing due to frequency conflicts

[tieke]

Is there something I should do to make sure that the multirecord feature doesn't try to schedule programs on conflicting frequencies?

This has come up with "Off the Radar" which is on TV1 on Sundays from 7pm-7.30pm, with 2min prepadding and 9 minutes post, and TV3 news, which is on daily from 6-7pm with 1min pre and 9min post.

As they are on different frequencies, one should be recorded with my analogue card, but gbpvr tries to record both via my single bda dvb-s source, and although it thinks everything has worked, "off the radar" of course doesn't.

I thought this might be because of pre 1.3.7 scheduling, so after the first failure I cancelled and recreated my news schedule. After the failure the next week I cancelled and recreated both the News and Off the Radar schedules, and after this weeks failure I am writing this post

I have attached the appropriate logs (23 Nov, TV3 News on from 6-7pm, Off the Radar from 7-7.30pm)

cheers,

tieke

Bump the thread in a week or so when I'm back in NZ and I'll closr look.

Sounds similar to what I had. The only thing I didn't try was to remove and re-create the capture source.

Hmmm. Could this be similar to the problem I'm getting, except with DVB-T cards? http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=39448

Yeah, theres been a few reports of this. Its not an easy one to track down though. To get more info I suspect I'm going to have a write a utility for people to run in the background for a week or so that periodically lists the scheduled recordings and allocated tuners so I can see when it goes wrong.

I suspect its initially allocated to the correct tuner but something later has triggered the master recording to move to another tuner or something similar.

Sub, do you think re-creating the capture source would have a positive effect?

No, I doubt it.
