Analogue recording scrambled after trying to access another channel

[fjbpchristiaens]

Hi,

I have a Hauppauge 5500 card which is capable of receiving analogue signals as well as digital. Today I noticed that if I have a recording running on an analogue channel and either I try to access another channel through NPVR or (what actually happened) a forgotten recurring recording tries to grab a channel during the analogue recording; the latter fails but the analogue recording continues with a scrambled video (sound is ok but the image is completely distorted). Not sure if this is caused by NPVR or by the Hauppauge drivers; but any idea how this can be avoided? Trying the same when recording from a digital channel does not reproduce the issue; so only analogue recording is impacted.

Thanks

view the devices screen and then post your npvr.log. From that someone will give you the needed devicerules.xml entry so that npvr will understand the device is a single tuner.

a filtercheck log would also be helpful.

not sure I fully understood, but attached are screen-shot of devices, my current DeviceRules.xml and logs...

add the following to your devicerules.xml, and you should be good to go:

Code:

        <!-- Hauppauge 885 (HVR-5500)-->
        <Filter name="Hauppauge WinTV 885 Alt BDA Tuner/Demod" resource="Hauppauge 885" />
        <Filter name="Hauppauge WinTV 885 BDA Tuner/Demod" resource="Hauppauge 885" />
        <Filter name="Hauppauge WinTV 885 DVBC Tuner/Demod" resource="Hauppauge 885" />
        <Filter name="Hauppauge WinTV 885 Video Capture" resource="Hauppauge 885" />
