TV drops out when Recording Starts

[EwanG]

Using 0.91.8, and having an unusual problem.

System plays Live TV just fine through my PVR-350 attached to my Cable and my TV. When a scheduled recording time hits, however, the recording does not occur because the "Capture Device is Missing" and then GBPVR drops out of Live TV and back to the main menu. I am more than a little perplexed by this behavior.

On the Capture Source Tab I have set my Recording Source to "Direct Recording Plugin" and have configured that to have my Capture Card be "PVR 350", my Board Number set to "1" (assume that's based on number of cards in the computer not which PCI slot the board is in), Source to "Internal Tuning" and Tuning to "Cable".

On the Playback Tab I have set the Hardware Decoder to "PVR 350" and the Software Playback options are all set to "System Default". I am using VMR9.

I am not using any third-party plugins, and have only turned off the FM Radio plugin. Am using the Blue skin to the extent that matters.

Any ideas what I might have wrong?

Ok it will drop out of live TV when a recording is due. If you dont watch live TV when a recording is scheduled, what does it do? Does it record OK? Can you go and "play" a recording in progress?

I'm going to do the .91.11 install first on the odd chance that makes any difference, but then will try both of the "experiments" suggested. Will let you know what I find (if anything).

Thanks,

Have installed 0.91.11, and will try to setup some recordings shortly.

In the meantime, I noticed that in the Playback section I have the following options in addition to System Default:

InterVideo NonCSS Video Decoder
Moonlight-Elecard MPEG2 Video Decoder
Sonic Cinemaster DS Video Decoder

Would one of these be "better" than the other, and possibly less likely to conflict with my TMPEGEnc editing which I know uses the Moonlight-Elecard codec?

TIA!
