strange channel changing-works in guide but not recording

[pBS]

and possibly change the rec service logon to same as currently logged in user with password..
[it does give better network access to rec service]

FWIW, I had the same problem using Haupblast.exe with the PVR150 blaster using the GraphRecorder capture source on Win7. Haupblast was configured on the GBPVR capture source screen (invoked by GBPVR?). To resolve it, I went to firewire channel changing invoked by GraphRecorder (configured on the Graphrecorder screen). I didn't investigate the problem at all, just changed to firewire, so I don't have any insight to offer.

I thought it may have been related to the fact I didn't have a password on this account so I created a password, uninstalled GBPVR, Re-installed, reconfigured and it worked!.... For 2 days! I rebooted yesterday and discovered this morning that the IR blasting has stopped again on recordings!

Any other suggestions - I am pulling my hair out on this one.

[WinoOutWest]

Okay - no more hair left.

In case anyone has this in the future I got around this by using the girder plugin with Eventghost - seems to be fine now. Clearly the underlying problem remains.

I have a similar problem in XP with 1.4.7, HaupBlast.exe works fine for LiveTV, but for recording - it doesn't even switch to composite input and I see whatever channel was last recorded by the same PVR150 from its internal tuner.

I tried both "Allow service to Interact" and log on as same user - both of them fail. The logs simply don't even show haupblast being run in the recording, only in live tv...

Sub - can I post the logs / config.xml / database and ask that you help me debug this?

Thanks,

Sounds to me you've got these channels enabled on more than one capture source, but didnt mean to.

Recording works its way down the capture source list looking for the first one that has the channels. Live TV works up the list from the bottom. It sounds like they're finding the channels on different capture sources, but you were expecting them to only be available on one capture source?

[GoodGuys]

Yes, that was the problem. I recently changed the way I capture my EPG, and caused this by mistake.

Thanks, sub!

Hi sub,

Kinda need your help here.

The problem appeared to be solved, until I found many recordings still exhibit the same behavior.

I rechecked several times, to be sure before posting this.

What I see is that a capture source that doesn't list a channel is recording from it.

To visualize - I have 2 capture cards:

• Haup 350
  
• Haup 150
  

Both can record from RF in, the analog lineup from a provide called "Hot".

Only the 150 is connected also to a STB that can record the lineup from a provider called "Yes".

I have 3 capture sources configured:

1. Yes (150)
   
2. Hot (150)
   
3. Hot (350)
   

I checked and re-checked and triple-checked, and no channels of the STB (Yes) appear in either of the RF sources channel list.

Despite that, I sometimes see the Hot (350) source recording a channel that should only exist in the Yes (150) i.e. from the STB.

I tried to query gbpvr.db3:

Code:

sqlite> select * from SOURCE_CHANNEL_MAPPING sm where sm.capture_source_oid = 1 and exists ( SELECT * from SOURCE_CHANNEL_MAPPING s2 where s2.capture_source_oid > 1 and sm.channel_oid = s2.channel_oid ) ;
8|88|1|35|N||0||||
23|90|1|42|Y||0||||
25|142|1|24|N||0||||
28|92|1|23|Y||0||||
31|143|1|24|Y||0||||
36|144|1|33|N||0||||
87|123|1|201|Y||0||||
88|94|1|202|Y||0||||
89|95|1|203|Y||0||||
90|96|1|204|Y||0||||

I believe my 150 from STB is "1" and the other sources are 2, and 3. The above query proves there are channels with the same oid on source #1 as on sources 2/3.

I tried to remove all sources, reboot, re-create them, but that didn't help. I also tried to create a new source for the STB and stop using the other one - didn't help either.

I sent you my db in email, I hope you can help me out here.

Thanks a lot!

Sorry, I no longer have GBPVR installed here, so I cant easily check it out myself.

If you can reproduce the problem by scheduling a recording for show that is about to start, let the recording happen, then post the logs (so I can see the scheduling and the recording starting), then I'll see if anything stands out.

Its important to remember that capture sources are chosen at the time the scheduled, so you might find that you've later gone to edit the channel lists on each capture source, but it's stuck to the original channel/capture sources from the time it was scheduled (ie, ignoring your changes).
