Unable to Start BDA Device

Are you able to watch live tv in GB-PVR?

[stemark]

Yes.
Live TV works fine on all channels.

[sub]

It should be able to record then.

Reproduce the problem, then zip and attach the logs and I'll take a look.

Hi

These are from yesterday at work(closer to the transmitters).
I took the HDHOMERUN home last night and it does the same thing.
Two files of 5.50kb.

[sub]

I cant see anything obvious in the logs, but you could try setting <BDASubmitTuningRequestTwiceOnRecord>true</BDASubmitTuningRequestTwiceOnRecord> in config.xml to see if it helps.

[stemark]

Thanks
I'll give it a try when I get home.

I had not done any recording or watching of recordings lately so I had not seen this, but I did some testing after looking at your logs.

I see what's happening but sub will have to take it from there (I know the what, not the why). I was looking at your logs and noticed that your recordings started twice. The first time with a .mpg extention which stops recording about 30 seconds later and then starts recording with a .dvr-ms extention. I set up a test recording and here's what happened. (I am only posting snips of my logs. They are pretty much identical to stemarks.)

Started recording a show

Code:

02:13:37.987    INFO    BDARecorder:::StartRecording(Silicondust HDHomeRun Tuner (10100B5D) 0, 1, C:\PVR\Recordings\Inside the Actors Studio\Inside the Actors Studio_20070223_01000300.mpg, T:15,110,10~P:10~V:208~A:209~PMT:233~N:>110.10   (eng))

This file actually gets saved with a .dvr-ms extention instead of .mpg and is only 5.5k but roughly 30 seconds later:

Code:

02:14:03.941    VERBOSE    BDARecorder::StopRecording()
02:14:04.050    VERBOSE    BDARecorder::StopRecording() finished
02:14:04.550    VERBOSE    getSetting(BDADisableStatusChecks)
02:14:04.550    INFO    BDARecorder:::StartRecording(Silicondust HDHomeRun Tuner (10100B5D) 0, 1, C:\PVR\Recordings\Inside the Actors Studio\Inside the Actors Studio_20070223_01000300.dvr-ms, T:15,110,10~P:10~V:208~A:209~PMT:233~N:>110.10   (eng))

Since the .dvr-ms file already exists, it renames this file to "Inside the Actors Studio_20070223_01000300-1.dvr-ms"

Now the recording database is pointing to the file without the "-1" which is only 5.5k. If you go to the recordings directory and delete the 5.5k file and take the "-1" out of the other filename, you can go back into GB-PVR and watch your recording.

This is where sub will have to take over

Fixed it. I disabled the extra plugins that I had to see if one of them was causing it. Apperently one was. Not sure which one yet (Will have to reenable them one at a time to test), but here is a list of the plugins I had and disabled:

Weather
Theater
News Feeds
System Status
TV Listings <---------- I suspect it's this one.

[stemark]

WOW! good detective work!

Could be TV Listing not working right.
Interesting when scheduling a program in the guide it would
not light up red like it should.

[whurlston]

WOW! good detective work!

Yeah, when I actually get around to doing it Sorry it took so long.
