Failed to start recording

[galmok]

I had schedule a show to be recorded and left DVBViewer 3.9.4.0 running (muted) at the channel I wanted to record from, minimized DVBViewer and then left the pc (windows xp 32) to its own.

 

This morning I checked on the recording and noticed that DVBViewer had went into a busy loop causing all desktop interaction to be quite slow (AMD X2, DVBViewer used 1 core).

 

I set DVBViewer to normal priority to be able to supply this information before I force quit DVBViewer.

 

Information from TaskInfo. Thread info probably of most interrest.

DVBViewer apparently did not write any data to the disk but it did create the file to hold the data before it went into the busy loop.

 

System information:

 

AMD X2 4200+

Windows XP 32

ATI 1900 XTX / Catalyst 8.6

DVBViewer 3.9.4.0

Sandberg USB DigiTV / AF 9015 BDA 7.3.20.1

 

All disks spin down when not used. This may cause a long delay if DVBViewer tries to spin up all disks at once (about 20-30 seconds, 4-5 disks).
