nobby5628 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Hi All, just getting used to DVBViewer and loving so far. I seem to be getting a problem where when ever i'm recording (Via recording service) it does record the programme but has loads of files at really short intervals. Is their a simple solution/setting where it combines all the files so i can watch the programmes. Thanks in advance. Nobby Quote Link to comment
McenterFreak Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Its because it cannot record it, normaly because it is coded. To me it happens often, because i have timers that hit channels that i don't have access to. So if my timer is "summer" it tries to record all programs with summer, also channels that i dont have acces to, so it ends up in 2-300 small useless files. Solution is to remove channels you dont use/have access to from the channel list Quote Link to comment

There is no simple solution to combine the files, since it is not needed. I have used DVBViewer for years, without ANY problems. It runs 365 days a year. All recordings are perfect!

How do i view the log file mate... Quote Link to comment
McenterFreak Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 How do i view the log file mate... In Recoring Service, Configuration, Recorder you tick Create Logfile. Then there will be created a log file for each recording, named the same as the recording, with .log extension Quote Link to comment
McenterFreak Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 It could also be a access problem. Sometime it happens to me, when a timer find a programme on a channel where i have no access to (sattelite). Then it makes 2-300 small files. I don't know why Quote Link to comment
majstang Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Yes it happens when RS can't decrypt the stream. If having the setting "Restart recording if no data for 60 secs" active you'll end up with 60 empty one minute files if trying to record a 60 minute show. In RS Recorder setting there's also splitting options which splits the file after a certain amounts of recorded mbytes. @nobby focus on these settings. http://en.DVBViewer.tv/wiki/Options_Service_-_Recorder Edited August 18, 2012 by majstang Quote Link to comment
McenterFreak Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Thanks. I have unchecked it and hope it solves the problem Quote Link to comment
