Having some issues with 2.6.2

[Bluethunder]

Hello all.

I've been running 2.5.5 for a while now, tried 2.5.9 briefly, but it was not stable, so I rolled back.

I'm trying 2.6.2, and so far, haven't had alot of luck with it.

So far, the problem I'm having, is the live TV works once, after that it hangs, and NPVR stops working until I "STOP" the recording service. I haven't tried doing a scheduled recording yet.

I included the logs with this message.

I've rolled back to a relatively clean windows xp install image, completely removed 2.4.x NPVR that was installed, reinstalled the direct-x redist, re-installed the vc-redist 2008, re-installed NPVR 2.6.2 (completely new, no configuration rolled forward), shut down my firewall completely. I've got the latest Collussus drivers, the latest ATI drivers for my card.

Tried EVR and VRM-9 Custom renderers, and a number of decoders.

Any ideas?

This is a windows XP SP3 machine, Haup collusus, ati HD4800, 500GB HD (20GB free on system, and 380GB free on recordings drive)

Cheers, Joe

Yeah, I see in your logs that the recording graph for the second attempt at live tv never starts, it just hangs at the "About to start graph" phase. The problem is definitely on the NRecord side of the fence, not the NextPVR side, so it won't have anything to do with decoders, renderers, etc.

For testing, I suggest you do a few recordings; see if you can record more than one time. Post the NRecord.log showing that, whether it works or not.

The handling of the HDPVR changed in later rounds of 2.5.9 which means you might have to redo some channels. To do this go to the device and on the HDPVR Setting screen if the details are incomplete or wrong right-click and select the "Update to Current Settings" option.

So far, the recordings seem to be holding up. I set a bunch on last night, and it got them all. :-D


If I start a recording, then Play it, stop, and play it, it also works well.

I thought that it might be a setting that didn't roll forward properly, so I started with a completely new install, including the channel setup, and databases (deleted the NPVR application and program directories).

The other problem I've been running into with NPVR 2.6.2, and 2.5.9 did it as well (which was why I rolled it back). The interface will hang. 2.5.5 did not ever do this for me.

In this case, I had just finished watching a program, it returned to NPVR, and I went to delete the program, selected ok, and pressed enter. The dimmed out screen with the delete box was as far as it went ("Not responding" in task manager). It has actually deleted the file.

I also have this happen if I go to the settings, and close it. Seems to stick on the redraw of the NPVR screen on return. Some times takes a bit before it will happen, but it always does eventually.

I've attached the logs from this last time as well.

this is part of the same problem. NRecord hung trying to start a recording graph for Pawn Stars, so it never completes the later delete request, causing NextPVR.exe to hang.

by the way, you didn't post your logs showing successful recordings last night. even success logs can provide clues when compared to failure logs.

I'll throw in another random recording this afternoon, and post the logs from that run.

Here are some logs from a successful batch of recordings.

Thanks all!
