Recorder Service - not in System Tray anymore

Hi

 

I have just upgraded to 3.8 (the day before 3.9 came out!) and am having difficulty getting things back the way they were.

 

I use the Recorder Service Plugin, and until upgrading, I always had a DVB icon in the System Tray - EITHER the one for DVBV itself, OR the icon for the Recording Service... Now the icon for the Service isn't shown.

 

I spent a while thinking that the service wasn't working, but aparrently it is. Is there any way to ensure that the icon is displayed?

 

Thanks

run DVBCrtl.exe from the DVBViewer folder. But 3.8 should have deinstalled the old service, because it's incompatible with 3.8 (and later). Since 3.8 the service is not included in the normal setup anymore and you'll have to install the latest beta of the service manually.

I already have the beta of the service installed.

 

As you suggest, I have run DVBCrtl.exe from the DVBViewer folder and I now have the tray icon...

 

two further questions :

What have I just run? What is the purpose of DVBCrtl.exe ?

Will that interfere with the recorder service running?

Will I need to do that after each reboot (or but a shortcut in the startup folder) ?

 

Thanks

A windows service does not interact with the user. the systemtray app is the interface between service and user.

It is designed to work with the service.

rightclick the icon in the system tray. you will be surprise of what I do think of... :)

I thought of another one!

 

Thanks. Have clicked autostart...

 

 

ONE more question...(unrelated)

 

How is the order of channels in the EPG determined? They seem to be randomly sequenced at the moment...

 

Thanks
