Young Vanish Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Sorry if this is answered elsewhere, if it is I couldn't find it. DVBV on PC running Windows 8.1 The first recording I set up was a few days in advance, the recorder didn't kick in and I missed what I wanted. Tried another test recording with DVBV running and the recording worked as expected. Migrating from Hauppauge WinTV this is not what I expected (that recorder kicks in without the viewer loaded) So . . . I set DVBV to autoload at boot time (into a minimised window). Scheduled recordings now take place, but DVBV will not launch from its minimised state in the task bar. Neither will it close, I am forced to use 'End Task' from the Task Manager. At that stage I can launch DVBV from it's shortcut on my desktop. I have now had to stop DVBV on the startup programs list, and remember to launch it if I have any recordings scheduled for that date. Are there some settings I'm missing somewhere? Or is this the way it works? Quote Link to comment
majstang Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Download and use the Recording Service instead http://en.DVBViewer.tv/wiki/DVBViewer_Recording_Service Then recordings are carried out regardless of DVBViewer have been started or not. Follow the installation guide closely: http://en.DVBViewer.tv/wiki/Recording_Service_Installation_Guide Quote Link to comment
Tjod Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Or Options > Recordings > activate Use Microsoft Task Scheduler and set user name and password in the Scheduler Settings http://en.DVBViewer.tv/wiki/Options_Recordings#Task_Scheduler Quote Link to comment
Young Vanish Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Thanks for the replies. Does either of these options have advantages/disadvantages over the other? Quote Link to comment
Young Vanish Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Searching the forum I've found a previous answer . . . "If you want just wake up the pC for recording then Task Scheduler is it.If you want network streaming to mutliple PC, UPnP/DNLA, a webinterface then use Recording Service." Thanks Quote Link to comment
