Graph and TVPI external recorder beta

[carpeVideo]

I've just doubled checked this. It correctly starts the SBS recording at 7:00:00 in the logs. A few seconds later it starts the GraphRecorder recording. After that, zero messages coming out of the recording management thread other than GraphRecorder messages. It makes me think control was never returned to GB-PVR, so there is no chance for GB-PVR to tell the SBS recording to 'stop'.

Sub, what do you mean control was never passed back to GBPVR? Do you mean startRecording did not return? From what I can tell GBPVR calls startRecording and a stopRecording separately and also calls the occassional get recordingStatus.

But in this post's log (( http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=3...tcount=218)) graphRecorder loads its config but startRecording was never called since that would evoke a message like: GraphRecorder[" + this.GetHashCode() + "]: enter startRecording(qualityLevel:="

Im also having similar problems with it not stoping and breaking the graph.Im also geting a .net error,here are logs the new text doc in zip is .net error.Currently using 1337 but same with 1311.
Also using vista ult 32.

This is the error is see:

GraphRecorder:LoadRunGraphFile: trying to run graph
2009-01-24 10:19:28.794 ERROR [5] Error starting recording: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800705AA): Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.

at DirectShowLib.DsError.ThrowExceptionForHR(Int32 hr)

It is not a .net error but an error in directShow getting resources when it tries to run the graph - I don't have vista so it may be an incompatibility with the directShowLib with vista or the resources are unavailable meaning a previous graph was unreleased, or just a bad graph. Since this happens on the first recording I don't think it an un-stopped graph. I can release the source if someone has vista and wants to see if that is the issue and do a debug. (its a bit of a mess since I was learning c# as I wrote it ;oP )

However, the http://directshownet.sourceforge.net/ lib is supposed to support Vista so it may not be that either. (I feel like an economist )

I have been using this plugin without problems for some time now. However, I have just strated encountering problems. When PVRX2 starts and I go into Live TV, no problem. If I return to the main menu and select Live TV again it has stopped working. I get a black screen for a second or two, then it returns to the main menu. I believe ths is the relevant part of the logs:

Hmm , I will see if I can recreate the issue, can you send to whole log, I need to see the first live preview requests as well.

The sequence of events is:

Plays fine first time
Second time, black screen only, have to manually exit out
Third time, black screen for a second and automatically exits out

Thanks

I can't really help with the problems you're trying to diagnose here but I can confirm the DirectShowLib works with Vista including the x64 version. I use the library for the dvb radio plugin and have Vista users using it.

EDIT: There is a difference with the MPEG2 demux in Vista though (the default output pins are different). Not sure if that applies unless you're hardcoding your demux output pin connections.

Cheers,
Brian

Try the attached version - I added more logging and some error traps. I tried live preview and went in and out several times with no issue (other than a timelag with audio on the HD channels)

Hey, Carpe, do any of these error traps have to do with recordings not stopping?

[JimmyA]

Attached....thanks for looking into this so quickly.

JimmyA try the attached a bit more logging and a small change and Keith - you might try it - I think I need a fresh set of logs from you since I couldn't see any issues,
