Live-tv decrypting, recording not

[Reddwarf]

Why isn't GbpvrRecording Service decrypting an encrypted channel while recording, but Pvrx2 works nicely?

Isnt this the same as your other thread? Or is this CI not Multidec?

[Reddwarf]

It's the same problem yes, but I got no reply to that thread so I'll give it another try. Did you look at the logs at all?

Just saw your other reply, but why does the recording service need a server and pvrx2 not?

I dont think it does, but you may find that the first access (whether from PVRX2.exe or GBPVRRecordingService.exe) ties up access to the reader, meaning its unavailable to the other. ie, after a reboot you might be able to record first, then live tv would fail. If thats the case, then your pretty much need to go with a card server, which is what most people do anyway with multidec (even outside of GB-PVR).

If its not that, then its likely some permissions problem.

Access to the reader used to be a problem as you described when I used a reader with an application program, but a genuine reader does not need that. The problem now is that the recording service does not see the need to decrypt, i.e. it considers encrypted channels to be FTA.

Anyway, I'd like to give Acamd a shot if anybody can explain to me how to set it up?

[Reddwarf]

Oh well, after lots of fiddeling I managed to set up NewCS and Acamd, but same shit happends. Live-tv is fine but recordings is still not decrypted.

I have NewCS starting with windows, but I noticed that it runs as my account. Does that matter?

Do you still have the same situation where it works when you run the recording service from a command prompt?

[Reddwarf]

No it does not. The recording service loads mdapi and acamd but no decrypting takes place. Both pvrx2 and Config.exe works as they are supposed to, but not the recording service.
