Trouble changing channels coninued

[sub]

No, that doesnt answer my question.

Every time start watching a channel, a new .mpg file gets created in your live tv buffer directory (c:\ on your machine according to the logs). What you need to do for me is check if that fail gets created when you change channels, and check if it is growing.

sub,

Here's my logs. SOme errors that do not seem related to this problem ???

6/02/2007 10:35:10 p.m..822 ERROR [16] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION:: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted

I dont know if it'd be related to your MVP problem or not, maybe.

Basically the error is saying that the recording service is trying to listen on a port thats already in use somewhere else on your system. There could be a few possible explanations for this - maybe there is some other software listening on the same port, or maybe a previously run instance of the recording service has locked the port and not released it when exited, or a software firewall is holding the port open from a previous use, or you're trying to run two instances of the recording service at the same time (check for two instances in the task list).

For some reason, I am getting a file for every play. Every time that there is a video on the screen, and I change to another channel, I get a file generated for the previous play with the number of bytes played. When the channel does not change, and I have to hit OK on Live TV to change, I get a fie with 0 bytes. The running total would be increasing.

Ok, so we've narrowed it down to a recording problem. The MVP is unable to play the 0 byte long file so returns to the main menu.

I'll take another look at the recording service logs in the zips you attached earlier to see if I can see anything.

What type of capture card are you using?

The analog side of Hauppauge HVR-1600. When I at the PC, it works flawlessly

Why would a zero bit file be generated if there wasn't another problem. I guess my question is: is the 0 byte file a symptom/result or the cause of the problem?

If you turn off live preview mode in the config app, does it work quite so flawlessly on the PC? This will force it into timeshift mode the same as is used on the MVP.

Could be lots of reasons. In this case its the cause of the playback stopping on the MVP - but why is this happening is what we want to know.

Aha. Looks like a bit of network troubleshooting is in order. The absolute best kind. If you don't hear from me again, I've gone to Network Hell. It's been ... "educashunal" ... :-)

You're right . I took off the live prevew mode, and it will not change channels on the PC. The picture freezes and I get a message---error playing back file.

sub, quick Q, how do I found out which ports the recording service is listening on and which the MVP? Are they always a fixed range (tabulated somewhere?) (Sorry jackk, didn't mean to hijack your thread).
