Problem: No files are saved

[gblinckmann]

I've got a problem with GBPVR. I've got no idea why it's doing this, but all of a sudden it has just stopped recording programs. It looks like it is recording, but no files are being saved to the hard drive. I've tried a fresh install, but I get the same thing. I've tried other software to check the Hauppauge cards and they are fine. Live TV works and I can play back old recordings.

I've got dual PVR-150MCE cards and I've attached the log files.

From the logs:
21:58:14.953 ERROR failed to start Conexant Graph
21:58:14.953 VERBOSE ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_CONNECTED

Have a hunt for a patched version of NativeUtilities.dll that was posted a couple of weeks ago. Its trying to use half of one card and half of the other.

BTW, what version of the Hauppauge Drivers are you running?

[gblinckmann]

The driver is the 2.0.30.23074 March 15, 2005 version.

For anyone else that reads this, and has had to apply that patch, which version of the drivers are you using?

[gblinckmann]

Thanks, Sub!! That fixed the problem!

I've got no idea why it's doing this, but all of a sudden it has just stopped recording programs.

Did you install new drivers any time recently?

I'd just love to know why reports of this only cropped up recently, but this specific code was working fine for about 7 months.

I didn't install any drivers just before this happened. I updated the drivers when I installed the second PVR-150MCE (after my PVR-250 blew up), but that was several weeks before.

There was a .Net Framework 1.1 hotfix KB886903 that I installed recently that I had avoided for a long time. Other than that, it's just been security patches.

Hmm, something had caused a change in the order of the hauppauge components installed on your machine.

Maybe you hadnt use both tuners at the same time since the updated drivers?

[gblinckmann]

That's certainly possible. It's not all that often that I have a conflict. Usually Friday nights. I believe that's when it stopped working, too. There were a lot of shows that night.
