Changing channels to record show on external box & show report incorrect run time issues.


I have the latest GBPVR 1.3.7 and have HIP 3.0.2.1.2 to control my external SAT box.

The major problem I have is that when I schedule a recording or quick record a show on the SAT box it will not even attempt to change the channel. It just records what ever channel it was last on for the duration of the show I wanted. How do I fix this?

But GBPVR can change the channel if I go to the TV guild and select watch show. Watching the live TV part with the SAT box works just fine, so I know that GBPVR can control the box.


The other more minor issue that has been happening as of late is when playing back a recorded show the run time of the file is wrong. A typical 1 hour show might only say its 30 second or 1 second long. In turn this messes up GBPVR when you try to fast forward, pause, etc.

What causes this incorrect run time?

i bet it's the permissions you have set for rec service...
iirc, set to 'local service & interact w/desktop' or an actual user, one of which only works w/livetv, while the other works for both...
[cuz the rec service does ch changing w/diff user rights]

i agree on the driver issue he said too...

Guess I forgot to list my hardware, in case that is a factor.

==========================

It has been a while since I have installed new drivers for my turner.

Its interesting that you says its a permissions issues. I didn't use to have this problem, but was running as the Admin. Now I'm must running as a user with Admin rights. Never had the problem back then and now I do.

Changing the "GB-PVR Recording Service" to the interact w/ desktop worked.

Still waiting to see if I have another problem with the time stamp issue. I have implemented the fix with the driver/reg, but the problem was intermittent before, so only time will tell.

Thanks guys!!
