Recording file cant be found

[chris-at]

It depends on how the error occurs. If some required component is missing, or returns an error code, or similiar, this will be reported in the logs. If the device returns that everything was successful, but just does nothing, then I have no way to tell.

It says this in the native log (from the first post):

16:29:00.312 INFO Starting graph...
16:29:00.343 INFO Unexpected error starting graph...

Is this an error message from the Hauppauge driver?

Yes, most likely.

I think you misunderstood.

Yeah, I did.

I found a new beta driver from Hauppauge which promised to fix an error that sounded similar to the one from my log: "Start DVB Recorder, Unknown Error". - Unfortunately it didn't help.

sub, could you please add the feature to start the machine a few seconds ahead of recording? That would be great!

Thanks

It should already start a minute before the pre-padding of the recording kicks in.

I just found out that it isn't the resume from standby after all - I got the error today while the pc was running.

Too bad I can't get rid of this error. I really liked GBPVR a lot.

How about trying the change to SQL? I know you said you didn't want to but I can't see that it would be a huge issue - especially if you get to keep GBPVR!!

I'd try that but I don't see how it could help. I think the errors went away after I did a repair & compress on the mdb (however I am not currently on my pc so I can't check).

Can anyone explain or point me to a post about this 'graph' and what it does?

[sub]

A 'graph' is the generic name for the Directshow tree of objects that are all connected up to perform a recording. In the case of the Nova-SE2, the graph would contain the Nova Tuner and Capture filters, the Microsoft MPEG2 Demultiplexer, the GB-PVR Psi Parser and the mux filter you're using (Cyberlink MPEG Muxer or Microsoft DVR-MS mux).

If it failed to start the graph, then it'll typically mean either the Nova device failed to start producing a stream of data to flow through that graph, or it return some sort of error when trying to initialise the device.

sub, is there something I can do to diagnose the problem?

I've been running MediaPortal for the last week to see if I can reproduce the problem (maybe get a better error message) - but so far the error has failed to show up in MP.

The difference in the MP config is that it only allows to use the Microsoft DVR-MS muxer (never used that in GBPVR because I need mpegs).

Could the muxer be the cause of my problems? What muxer would you recommend?

Thanks.
