Lars_MQ Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 Sorry I forgot to say you have to stop the service before creating the support.zip, so all configdata is saved. Well anyway, take a look here there are the different ports and settings a little bit explained.
tiit12 Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Sorry. My bad with supporttool. Hmm.. tried now with standartconfig (stream port 7522), but still the same situation. Embedded player says no video (VLC plugin) or tries to connect for a moment, an then back to ready (Mediaplayer plugin) and external cannot find file (Mediaplayer and VLC). Tiit support.zip
Lars_MQ Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 First please deactivate the UPnP logging. This should only be activated if you're told to. Second: Your service.xml doesn't match the things you said you changed. In fact it is nearly empty. Are you sure you using the right folder and the right service is active?
tiit12 Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Hmm.. i installed 1.4.7.10 and then unpacked the content of beta archive over the files in DVBViewer folder (first deactivatet service and trayutil) and then started trayutil and the service again. Service.xml is in folder C:\ProgramData\CMUV\DVBViewer. For support.zip copied supporttool.exe to C:\Program Files\DVBViewer and ran there. Maybe is there a problem with Win7? I thought about that yesterday, but i was too lazy for reinstalling XP.
tiit12 Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I found another service.xml. In there is more info (one was C:\ProgramData\CMUV\DVBViewer, the other one was in subfolder \Config). I copyed that from \config over to root. Now is the right one in support.zip. support.zip
janip Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 How i can automatic set two minute difference between recording start time? I get "error 0x80070020" if two recording start at same time and last one is HD channel. That is very unusual situation, but sometime it will happens. support.zip
Lars_MQ Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 ? where do you get this error? the service can't show any error messages.
janip Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 ? where do you get this error? the service can't show any error messages. Sorry, i get error when i try to watch it DVBViewer. MPC says "cannot render file". It works just fine when i set 2 minute delay between recording start time.
Lars_MQ Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 Dude, I don't really know what you're doing. Does the recording not start correctly? Is anything written at all? it all seems very confusing and incomplete...
janip Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) Dude, I don't really know what you're doing. Does the recording not start correctly? Is anything written at all? it all seems very confusing and incomplete... Empty file. Everythink look just fine in serice log, i paste copy later. Maybe somebody can try it too? svcdebug.txt Edited February 21, 2009 by janip
Lars_MQ Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 I would have expected the service to fall back to the secondary recording directory I have set up and continue recording from there, but instead it froze. Networkshares have one problem: It can take up to one or even more minutes until windows recognizes it is down. In this time the driver of the dvb card may lock up due to buffer overflows and a bunch of other things might get out of hand, which are not in the influence of the service. ATM I don't see any real solution for such situations except being extra careful what you reboot...
janip Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Stupid me. Can't see HD channels with Cinergy HTC USB XS HD. Don't know why. Sorry again...
Lars_MQ Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 You are aware this stick is a hybrid tuner device? Are you trying one -T and one -C channel at the same time? This won't work.
janip Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) You are aware this stick is a hybrid tuner device? Are you trying one -T and one -C channel at the same time? This won't work. No, only dvb-c. I have now two technotrend pci and one terratec Cinergy HTC USB XS HD, those technotrend are little faster when i change channel, so i want left one pci card only for DVBViewer use. I must look why i can't watch HD channel with cinergy, should it work with DVBViewer? Then i have left one anysee dvb-c card too, but this card i can't get decrypted channel work... M-ATX board is so idiot choice. But thanks a lot for very good work, I think that service is as important as DVBViewer. Edited February 22, 2009 by janip
janip Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I try again that sream and unicast device to DVBViewer, it works but somehow i stop using that. And then i have to set those A-B-C channel group. If i set group C to HD channels and disable that group in cinergy, and anysee i can left that CI choice empty. But how service work? Can it choose first anysee or cinergy tuner, if i record free or A-B group channel?
atener Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Hi Lars The new version 1.4.7.60 locks the web/Unicast at once (not just when you start a recording like the previous beta) Have tried to uninstall everything and do a completely new installation, but same result if I run version 1.4.7.10 then it all works. Is there any type of debug bit that I can turn on to get more information? I have also tried to run a telnet against the server to see if the ports is open and I manage to connect, but if try to send a fake HTTP get, I get no answer there either Is there anything I can test? (I´m running OS Windows 7) /aTENEr
brutus Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I want to have my favourites channels in the webinterface so I tried via menu configuration to select the favourites list but the list is empty ? Do I miss something ? Is there also a possibility to have the favourites channels for uPnP too ? Is transcoding channels for uPnP possible (from HD to SD, I use old XBOX too to watch TV) ? Feature when ? I use recordingservice version 1.4.7.60 ! GREAT timers working via DVBViewer Client!
Lars_MQ Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 Is transcoding channels for uPnP possible (from HD to SD, I use old XBOX too to watch TV) ? Feature when ? No and not planned. I want to have my favourites channels in the webinterface Sorry no favourites for now.
brutus Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 When using radio (dvb channels) via uPnP (powerdvd or xbmc) I get scrambled sound ! Is this a know problem, or am I doing something wrong ? When using dvdviewer the radio channels are working perfect ! (BTW very happy user)
janip Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Unicast work just fine now, i get that usb stick work too. Maybe it is possible to get new "wait cam" feature to recording timer? if you choose it => service tune channel =>wait time what you set => start recording. Now i have to do that manual, for some pay channel. I really think that recservice is maybe too good program for freeware.
Lars_MQ Posted March 1, 2009 Author Posted March 1, 2009 Well it is no freeware. Could you explain the CAM Stuff a little bit more?
janip Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Well it is no freeware. Could you explain the CAM Stuff a little bit more? I can watch all channel with unicast, no problem. But when i start record, i have to first tune channel and then start recording. Maybe some pay channel need more time. It is huge upgrade, that service does not stolen mux anymore. No matter, if all four card is recording. I can watch almost all channel at same time, bedrooom or livingroom... How that popcornhour support work? Can i change channel, watch recordings and set recordings with popcorn?
4004 Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Hi! Found out about recordingservice a few days ago and this is spot on the software i have been looking for, so kudos to the creator! So far i have done some tests with 1.4.7.10 and it does what i tell i to. Shuts down and wakes up nicely to record. A question that i could not find an answer to... Does DVBViewer Pro and the Recordingservice share the EPG data? Ie. could i use the XMLTV import tool and import to DVBViewer Pro and get the same data in the Recordingservice EPG? /Thomas
Tjod Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Recordingservice 1.4.7.10 and DVBViewer Pro share the epg.dat. The newer Recordingservice versions use a owen epg.dat and can send the EPG data to the DVBViewer. You can use Xepg with newer Recordingservice Versions direct. http://www.DVBViewer.info/forum/index.php?...st&p=231236
MMatej Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) In regard to a discussion about the Favourites support in the Recording service web interface... No and not planned.Sorry no favourites for now. I use the following workaround: I export a limited channel list from my (client) DVBV installation and use it only for the recording service. You can use the "ChannelEdit" utility to do this or (as I do) export all channels into the CSV file, edit it and reimport it into a separate installation/copy. As one can put the same channel in different channel lists roots' I create a separate separate root for each Favourites' branch and then copy the channels into them. The result is something very useful over the web interface I was trying to automate this procedure and directly analyse Favourites.XML and exported CSV channel list to generate the resulting (output) CSV file but I am unable to reliably calculate the favourite channelId number using the algorithm published on this board. I have asked for clarification of this (with an example) in a separate thread but I have not yet received any response. If someone can help me with this I would really appreciate. Here is a link to the message with a problematic example: http://www.DVBViewer.info/forum/index.php?showtopic=32381 . TopicLink -- Best regards, Matej. Edited March 4, 2009 by MMatej

JonJonS Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Hi I'm using recording service version 1.4.7.10 and since I installed it Norton Internet Security keeps winging about MH690.A which is some heuaristic virus checking method apparently... It specifically doesn't like dvbctrl.exe Any advice (please no wisecracks about Norton)?
Tjod Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Any adviceDecrease or deactivate the heuristic scan or exclude dvbctrl.exe from scanning in Norton. False positives are normal by a heuristic scan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antivirus_software#Heuristics

False positives are normal by a heuristic scan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antivirus_software#Heuristics I have done that, however as it's the only file on the whole PC that requires it..... I think my point is I shouldn't have to. Would be interested if it's just my version of Norton or if everyone else running V64 / DVBViewer Recording Service / Norton IS 2009 has the same issue. PS Keep up the good work on this service. As a long time MythTV user and huge fan of it's architecture I'm pleased with the direction you are going in here....
janip Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) I test stream server with my firends and it works fine, but now i can see that some clients are still connect to server. I think they just forget press "Stop VLC stream server", maybe some auto kick feature is good if there is no network traffic anymore? Edited March 10, 2009 by janip
Scrape Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I have done that, however as it's the only file on the whole PC that requires it..... I think my point is I shouldn't have to. Would be interested if it's just my version of Norton or if everyone else running V64 / DVBViewer Recording Service / Norton IS 2009 has the same issue. Hello JonJonS, I have tested the trialversion of NIS2009 a few days ago. I can confirm that NIS reports that dvbvctrl.exe is an suspicious file (Suspicious.MH690.A). I've just noticed, that today a new version of the dvbservice has been released. Maybe the new version is ok for NIS. I can't test it anymore, because my trialversion of NIS2009 has expired. Maybe you should test the new file. Bye Scrape
Topogigi Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 svcoptions.exe exits with an error when you try to add a task (either internal or process task) under Vista. Previous beta version worked...
uglyned Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 For my existing timers, the word 'Cable' has appeared where the post record action should be. I think post record action for all my timers is probably 'nothing'. If I change the action to anything else it appears correctly. If I open the timer to edit, make no changes then save it, the 'Cable' word disappears. This doesn't happen for new timers I create, just ones that were already there. Not a big one! -------- Also, something that happened in the last beta and this one is this: I have a recurring daily tune only timer for EPG updates. One day a week or two back it clashed with something I was recording at the same time so correctly appeared in red. However, it has appeared in red every day since, even though every day since it has not clashed with anything. -------- And one more thing... Sometimes when I record short 5 or 10 minute programmes, the recording service gives the show the wrong name - the name of the following programme on the channel is saved in the database although the actual .ts filename of the recording is correct. I use the default padding settings - I think it records for 5 minutes before and 10 minutes after the scheduled end of the programme which means for short programmes like this, the padding is longer than the actual programme. Don't know if that makes a difference. Thanks for all your work.
uglyned Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Using Rec service .80 - for the first time ever I added an EPG search entry to search all channels. When I'd added it I went straight to the Tasks menu and ran my preset EPG search task. It found some new entries, both on terrestrial and satellite and from the point of the first new entry it found, it changed all my subsequent timer events to green, even the ones I had previously changed to red.
jf2020 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Upgraded from working .76 to .80 DiSEqC no longer seems to work when changing channels (stays on the current satellite) with Skystar 2. It works fine when DVBViewer uses the card directly.
Lars_MQ Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 @uglyned can you reproduce this? I checked it and it worked like expected. @jf2020 The current Beta of the DVBViewer? They use the same code for this. Did you check if your channels.dat are identical?
uglyned Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Not that, no. But every time I run the search again it creates a duplicate entry for the terrestrial programme that started the problem in the dirst place.
Lars_MQ Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 If you have the duplicate and run the search again, do you get another entry (so you end up with three copies of the program)?
