Mux in config ignored

[apelly]

Last night, suspiciously close to when I got the web interface working, the mux setting in config seems to have started being ignored.

I have TS mux selected, because this is the only thing that creates reliable recordings at the moment, but I am getting mainly mpeg files created, which are usually broken and jerky.

I have 2 tuner cards and I noticed that one recording this morning has a large TS file and a tiny mpeg file. The show recording currently only has a mpeg file.

My first thought is that the quality setting in the web interface has something to do with this but when I look at the recordings with sqlitespy they all seem that same.

what signal are you recording ?
what recording device ?

Didn't think this would be relevant, but since you ask:

Xp SP3
GB-PVR v1.2.13
nvidia 8800gts 512
4G RAM
Intel Core2 Duo E6850 3.00GHz
Huappauge HVR4000 x 2
New Zealand DVB-S

Quality in the config and web only relate to analog devices.

I have TS mux selected, because this is the only thing that creates reliable recordings at the moment, but I am getting mainly mpeg files created, which are usually broken and jerky.

this doesn't sound right.

Can you post a gbpvr-recordingService.log and gbpvr-recoridng-service-native.log that shoes a recording happening...

I don't know if it's related but check this thread...

It seems to be to do with TS being used instead of mpeg2 or vice versa (not sure). :confused:

Oh, and apelly, you recording off dvb-t or dvb-s???

Argh!! I'm late for work, and something is breaking the Manage Attachments button for me, so I can't upload logs right now.

Looking through them though, I found this in BDARemoteDevice.exe-native.log and I remembered that to get the web interface to work I had to repair .NET (found clues about that here somewhere I think)

[INDENT]2008-06-17 08:29:00.921 VERBOSE FindFilterByName failed to locate filter: GB-PVR TS Mon[/INDENT]I have just re-registered GBPVR filters and the current recording is making a lovely TS file.

Problem solved before I actually posted this reply. Hopefully this will help someone one day. Sorry I posted without looking at the logs.

The BDARemoteDevice.exe-native.log is if you have "Out Of Process" recording turned on. You shouldn't need that unless you're using MDAPI - which being if AK you're probably not.....

I am not in a position to disagree psycik.

Nevertheless, taking that cue and running C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR\Re-RegisterFilters.bat appears to have solved the problem. If I could get mpeg recording to work reliably this wouldn't have been an issue, but that's a story for another thread.

yeah i know how you feel i have to use dvr-ms
sub says his is fine using the cyberlink mux but i have never been able to get it working reliable i put it down to the signal been a bit on the weak side
