Live TV fine, but no recordings in Windows 7

Sheik Yerbouti · 2010-01-12, 09:32 PM

I've been trying to set up my new server for GBPVR on a 64 bit version of Windows 7. For some strange reason most of the encrypted DVB-C recordings (I'd say 95%) give me very small files (a few MB), but encrypted live TV and the recording of unencrypted channels work fine. I've set the TSMuxBlockEncrypted parameter in the register, so it looks like the recording service isn't able to decrypt the channel. I can't find any errors in the logs, but they are attached, and so is the psi.log.
First I thought it was a problem with my floppydtv's (CI) and Windows waking up but I'm also seeing the same behaviour with my KNC One using mdapi after a reboot.
I have no idea what to try next. Any suggestions? Btw, all tuners work fine on the same GBPVR version on 32 bit Vista.

Does it help if you add <BDAAllowMultiRecordOnEncrypted>true</BDAAllowMultiRecordOnEncrypted> to your config.xml?

Unfortunately not.

I wasn't sure if it would, sorry. I'm not as familiar with the way TV works on your side of the world.

No problem, the same goes for me.

Anyone? Should I try a fresh install of W7? I find this a real bizar problem, since live TV is working fine.

Maybe try deleting the "C:\Users\<Your Acount>\AppData\Local\Virtual Store\Program Files\Devnz" directory.

There isn't one to delete. Is it wise to wait for testing the new release to solve this problem? I've seen some other messages with Windows 7 recordings problems, with really small files, could it be a W7 specific problem?

Some more info. I've deleted the TSMuxBlockEncrypted from the registry and now the file is growing normally. But it only decrypts the recording after viewing the specific channel (live TV). If I start a recording on another channel the file still grows, but it stays encrypted. So it is definitely a decrypting issue. I'm using the floppyDTV with CI.

In the logs it looks like you have it configured for multidec, not the FloppyDTV CI.
