Nrecord appears to hang and then crash

[Graham]

I installed npvr yesterday on a machine that has been running pvrx2 without problems for years.

The recording service appears to hang after recording for about 10 or 20 minutes.

None of the several recording that I attempted yesterday evening completed successfully.

I scheduled a bunch of recordings at 12.06 today with some to start immediately and some to start half an hour or an hour later. None of these worked.

Eventually the recording service and Windows offered to send a dump to Microsoft - the Send / Dont Send dialog box. I have attached the dialog box and some of the files created when the dump was created. The dump is at http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7NZ7T0HK

Thank you

Are you recording to a network drive? If so, does recording to a local drive instead help?

[Graham]

It's a local drive.

There is nothing obvious in your logs.

You could try creating a c:\temp directory, and hopefully the next time it crashes it'll also produce a c:\temp\crash.mdmp file which you can supply.

There was a temp folder and it did contain a dump file and it is attached.

Thanks

After hours of faffing about in NPVR and PVRX2, I have decided that this was due to dodgy reception. I suspect that I get very very short breaks in reception due to trees that are close to the house and this gives unpredictable results during scanning.

If it is a up-and-down signal chances are that your antenna is pointing at some reflection, that usually gives a signal that can be strong one second and down to nothing the next.
