dvbv_tvg.exe and the latest recording service

[hamish_]

Hi,

 

Since I updated to Recording Service 1.6.2.0, dvbv_tvg.exe no longer seems to be able to contact the recording service. I've been using it for 18 months to schedule recording from 3rd party software. Now, whenever it runs, I get a dialog box and/or OSD message in DVBViewer saying "Problem reaching recording service". I don't think the interface between dvbv_tvg and the recording service is published, so I can't take the troubleshooting any further.

 

Can you confirm this is a bug or dvbv_tvg needs to be updated? Or is there some configuration I can change?

 

Thanks

have you checked in the options if you can reach the service?

If you mean the configuration window of the service then yes, that works as expected. The web interface also functions as normal and I am able to schedule recordings there manually when dvb_tvg fails. I can also watch live TV in the main DVBViewer app through the service. The dvb_tvg problem is the only symptom I have noticed.

No, he means from DVBViewer options---Recording Service TAB in the bottom of the list. Click the "Test Connection" button.

Ah, thank you. I did change my password recently because I wanted out access it remotely and wanted to use something more secure. I don't think I've ever noticed the recording service page in the DVBv options. I'm pretty sure it post-dates dvb_tvg, so I guess it wasn't always important.

 

Since the route of the data from dvb_tvg though DVBViewer (or just using it's settings?) into the recording service is so opaque, could I suggest a little work on the error handling? Some mention of passwords or credentials in the message probably would have been enough to stop me bothering you.

 

Thanks again.
