Recording Status just lists captures sources 1 to 8 - Scheduled Records Fail

[zehd]

Thanks for the clarification zehd, I wasn't sure that they were the same file or not.

And as you've pointed out, if ZProcess is not being used or has not ever been installed, then GBPVR expects to see a the transcode file named ffmpeg.exe (two ff's) in the Third Party/FFMpeg folder or the transcode under GBPVR will fail and in fact will cause a number of system issues with GBPVR.

'number if issues...'

Thanks Gents,

I made sure the filename included two fs and since then, GBPVR is working as usual. As long as I restart the recording service just before my daily scheduled recordings to make sure it is operating properly. It's a pain but I can make a habit of it I guess. I still have the problem that if I reboot the computer the 8 sources appear in the status window and scheduled recordings fail.

I have an idea for you... Set the 'restart.bat' from the GBPVR folder to run as a scheduled task...

I'll try that and report back

I tried sheduling the GBPVR config to open and close which almost worked except a scheduled closing was a "cancel" not an "Ok" . An "Ok" automatically restarts the recording service. I didn't know how to do it directly - thanks for pointing out which file I needed.

im fairly sure that i read Slimm GBPVR monitors the recording service and restarts it if it crashes. maybe this would be a workaround for you? take a read of the slimm gbpvr thread, might be more detail there than the wiki has.
