Reinstall differences

[kylebrophy]

Hi All,

Due to a couple niggles - i rebuilt my pc. (Was xp sp2 before).
Its now XP SP3.

however my issue is this.

#1 On the recordings menu - when i view a recording - i no longer have 'resume' as an option - so if i stop viewing for whatever reason - and wish to view at later date - i have to skip all the way to where i was previously.

#2 i use multidec - and under the previous install - if i set gbpvr to watch one multidec and record another - it would fire up 2 instances of acamd plugin. This is not happening now. in fact even if i dont watch anything - but still set to record the multidec add in is not fired up... hmm?

#3 when i choose 'restart' or 'shutdown' after i click on the power button on our hauppauge remote - gbpvr just exits - the pc is no longer shut down or rebooted.

Not too sure if XP SP3 is the cause of any of this - but the reinstall has sorted all the other niggles i had. Of course i did install the latest version of community skin / skin plugin - rather than versions i have on the old setup.

any ideas?

is there something looking me right in the face that im not seeing?

thanks in advance...

A few people have had this problem due to a bug in the installer. To fix, use a tool like SQLiteSpy to execute the following statements on gbpvr.db3:

Code:

alter table PLAYBACK_POSITION add column duration int
alter table PLAYBACK_POSITION add column last_watched DATETIME
update PLAYBACK_POSITION set last_watched = DATETIME('NOW') where last_watched is null

If you enable live preview mode in the config app, then it should do what you expect.

I accidentally left a default set the wrong way. Edit config.xml to set [SIZE=2]
<[/SIZE][SIZE=2]SystemRestartIsAppOnly[/SIZE][SIZE=2]>[/SIZE]false[SIZE=2]</[/SIZE][SIZE=2]SystemRestartIsAppOnly[/SIZE][SIZE=2]>
[/SIZE]

thanks i will make the changes.

however i do have live preview enabled... so the multidec issue is still at large. im hesitant to restore the db3 / config.xml file from the previous install just in case the previous issues i had come back.

ill do the other 2 suggestions first anyways - and see what pans out - many thanks

bit of an update.

following your suggestions - i now have resume back on menu - and also can reboot/shutdown pc via remote. Thanks !!

on the multidec - no change...

if i turn off live preview mode- i cannot even view multidec. it would appear that recording uses this method - as it does not even initiate the mdfilter icon in the system tray (when sent to use same process). As soon as i turn on live preview i can view the channel - but as mentioned before - not record it (as no mdapi instance for the recording).

Given that this was working somewhat successfully under the previous install - i suspect its a setting somewhere ?

any places i should be checking?

what could cause the non "live-preview" option to not even load the mdapi wrapper? I suspect if that was solved then i would once again be able to record.

sorry to rant

Thanks in advance.

Reproduce the problem, then zip and attach the logs and I'll take a look.

[kylebrophy]

ok thanks - will do that tonight.

[kylebrophy]

attached should be 2 sets of log files.

one with mdapi set to reuse filter - and record in process. the other not reusing filter.

either way i can view via live tv - but cannot get any recordings since the reinstall.

Try running reregisterfilters.bat.

Try running reregisterfilters.bat.

thanks for that - early indications seem to be that did the trick - will do a bit more testing.

[kylebrophy]

Thanks Sub - that did indeed do the trick.

worked for dvr-ms - and after a reboot did the trick for my cyberlink mux as well.

i suspect if i have troubles in future - that might be my first port of call before posting.
