Manual Recording Unhandled Exception

[Daharp]

I'm new to nPvr and never used gbPvr. I can use Manual Record to record a program once with no problem but if I set it to record weekly, daily or Mon - Fri nPvr pops up an unhandled exception dialog box when I click OK.
I'm leaving the Advanced Rule edit at the default None. Should I be doing something here?

I do not have a program schedule xml file, and the broadcast epg data is erratic, a couple channels seem to have the correct data but most are listed as no info available or listed with the wrong channel. Could that be a problem with Manual Record?

Thanks for any help you can give me!

I have a feeling there was a patch put out to fix a crash with manual record that may help stop this one as well, have you added the patches from the sticky (first thread in this forum) thread?

[Daharp]

I honestly thought I had applied the patches but it must have been after installing the previous version. I installed 1.5.28 and installed all patches in the sticky. I guess I did not install patches after installing 1.5.31.
I have now installed the patches but the problem remains.

I should have mentioned earlier the error is "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Thanks for the try Jaggy!

[Jaggy]

Sorry I can't help further as it looks like the patch I was thinking of is in the sticky.
It will need someone with more knowledge than me to look at your logs/comment.

What does the error message say? I cant see it in your logs.

Hi Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, was gone for the weekend. Thanks for taking a look.

The caption sections says "Unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error an attempt to continue. Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

There is a Details button and an OK button, I have to drag the box off the nPver edit window before I can use the mouse on it, the mouse pointer disappears when over the message window. If I click Continue I'm returned to the edit window. Clicking details drops down a window with the following


See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I tried using Manual Record this weekend and got the same exception, could not save the logs unfortunately in case they would have showed something.

[Daharp]

Reddwarf, I pulled the info out of the Details window/pane by clicking the Details button then right clicking in the Details pane and selecting copy in the popup menu. It's a bit difficult and may take a few stabs at it, the mouse pointer is turned off when the Unhandled Exception dialog pops up.

I have successfully set a recurring Manual Recording in nPvr. The computer I'm working with has two monitors attached, the second being a TV which I seldom even turn on while working at the computer. When I maximize nPvr it jumps from my normal computer monitor to the TV so I seldom maximize it. I maximized. nPvr this morning, chased down the remote for the TV, turned it on and tried setting a Manual Record there hoping the mouse pointer would stay active when the Error Msg. popped up. There was no error this time and the weekly recording event I setup was listed in Pending Recordings. I tried setting up a Mon-Fri recording from my primary monitor and had no problems there either. I then turned off the TV and tried another recurring Manual Recording and the Unhandled Exception error is back! Going back to the TV I have found that I get the Unhandled Exception error if I try to setup a recurring recording that starts today but not if it's set to start tomorrow or later.

[Daharp]

A little more info on this error. I successfully setup a manual recording for weekends only (Sat. Sun) from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm, had to do it on the TV monitor. I then tried a manual recording from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm weekly on Saturday but get the Unhandled Exception error from either monitor. Shutting down nPvr and restarting made no difference, several attempts on both monitors made no difference. I tried changing from Weekly on Sat. to Weekends (Sat. Sun) and all is well using either monitor. I just wanted to pass this on in case it would help to chase down the problem.
