Show stops recording just minutes after start.

[lookin2039]

Hello all. I had this same problem a few months ago with my pvr-250 but now it is starting to happen with my pvr-500 too. Tonight I set up GBPVR to record several episodes of Whose Line is it Anyway and Las Vegas. The first few Whose Line's recorded just fine, but at 10pm both Las Vegas and Whose Line stopped recording very quickly. The Whose Line file is only 18K and Las Vegas lasted 3 minutes (85,746KB). Information from the native.log is listed below (I chopped a little off of the beginning to make it fit) to see if anyone sees what the problem could be. If any more info would help, let me know.

Thanks,
Brian

I set up to record two episodes of "Whose Line..." tonight (10 & 10:30). The 10 o'clock episode recorded for 3 minutes (87,342) and the 10:30 episode was under 100k. Any thoughts??? It was working perfectly less than a month ago when I went on vacation for a week and it recorded everything. I haven't made any changes to the system since then.

There is also this portion of the gbpvrrecordingservice.exe.log that shows GBPVR stopping recording 3 times within 4 minutes:

This sort of behaviour has been reported on machine where you have IRQ sharing issues. This can lead to recording terminating prematurely. GB-PVR still thinks its recording, but the PVR card just stops producing data. Check it in your machines device manager.

[lookin2039]

I don't think that's the problem. One of the tuners (I have the PVR-500) shares IRQ 19 with the Firewire IEEE but those ports aren't in use on my computer. Also, the status indicator in the task bar turns red again and doesn't stay green after it stops prematurely.

If it were an IRQ problem would the log show that is was stopping and then starting the same recording multiple times?

Thanks for your help.

Yeah, good point. Sorry, I didnt read your whole posting.

[GeneralElectric]

I dunno...I didn't do anything, but I thought it might be related to my screen saver kicking in. Since I have disabled it, I have not had a problem, but that is prob. just coincidence.

[lookin2039]

I thought that the screensaver might be the problem back when I was having the original problem a few months ago and disabled it then. Looks like that is not the problem for me.

Maybe I'll just install GBPVR on its own system and see how that works.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
