kookoo Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 (edited) Hello, I'm using DVBViewer 2.3 beta. I have a problem with scheduled recordings. They disappear from the PVR list when shutdown DVBViewer. And when I start DVBViewer again they are gone. Is this a known problem or is it something wrong with my setup?

Griga Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Maybe this problem? Quote Link to comment
kookoo Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 It isn't the date format. Mine is in numerical format. And mine shcedules disappear only when I shut down DVBViewer, they remain if I close only the recording window. I will tomorrow examine the ini's as you adviced in the other thread. Is it something else I should check? Thank you for a quick reply! Quote Link to comment
Griga Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Is it something else I should check? Yes. Does the DVBViewer update the file Setup.ini when it is closed? Do the scheduled recordings show up in this file (open it with a text editor). Maybe write protected? Or no write access rights for the user account in which the DVBViewer is run?

kookoo Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 Hello again! Setup ini is not write protected and is updated everytime DVBViewer shuts down. But the ini-file does not contain anything about scheduled recordings Attached a zip file containing to screenshots an a copy of the ini file. Don't know are they any help? Thank you for your help! problem.zip Quote Link to comment
Hartwig Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 The date should look like this one. It might be the same problem like in the link below: Quote Link to comment
kookoo Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 (edited) Changed the date to format dd.MM.yyyy but still all schedules disappear at DVBViewer shutdown Edit: Is there any information I could provide to help you track down the problem? Edited January 14, 2005 by kookoo Quote Link to comment
Hartwig Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 dd.MM.yyyy And what happens with DD.MM.YYYY Are there some entrys, if you use the attached Setup.ini?? And when you edit one of them (e.g. the endtime) and you restart the Viewer, are they gone?? both or only one?? And when you edit the Date?? Quote Link to comment
kookoo Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 (edited) dd.MM.yyyy And what happens with DD.MM.YYYY Are there some entrys, if you use the attached Setup.ini?? DD.MM.YYYY is not an option. Attached a screenshot from my date settings. No timers appear with the setup.ini you provided. And when I shutdown DVBViewer the entrys you added are gone. Could a reinstall help? Thank you for your help and time! Edited January 14, 2005 by kookoo Quote Link to comment
Hartwig Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Could a reinstall help? A reinstall of the Viewer?? Maybe..... And what happens, if you execute the regfilter.exe from the DVBViewer directory before you start the viewer?? Quote Link to comment
kookoo Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 (edited) Still no go I did run regfilter.exe. I reinstalled DVBViewer. Also noticed that altough th timer's stays in the list if I dont shutdown the DVBViewer, they dont get triggered. With DVBViewer TE the schedulings do work. Getting little desperate here...

gpk Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Hi, I have a problem that looks pretty similar. When I schedule a recording (manual or through EPG) it is listed in the setup.ini, but when the recording should start nothing happens. I also have 2.3 beta and it has worked. I am not sure but I think it stopped working when I changed the setting to use the Microsoft scheduler. I tried to change it back, but still no recordings! Any suggestions?? Quote Link to comment
Hartwig Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 When I schedule a recording (manual or through EPG) it is listed in the setup.ini,but when the recording should start nothing happens. Have you executed the regfilter.exe once before running the 2.3 Beta?? It might Help. @kookoo With DVBViewer TE the schedulings do work. interesting.... have tried to install the 2.3 beta in a new directory?? Maybe there is something wrong with the settingsfile oder any other file. ... guarantee that no old data exist in the installation directory. For example, your Setup.ini comes from an older version of the Viewer. avoid that (but normally it should work;) ) Quote Link to comment
kookoo Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 Ok, no it seems to work! The problem was....uhm, this is maybe little embarressing but my system date was set to May 2005. Thank you guys for trying to help me out. Sorry for wasting your valuable time and I try to double check everything next time Quote Link to comment
gpk Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Tried refilter.exe without any luck. Perhaps I better try a clean new install and see what that brings. Quote Link to comment
Hartwig Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 @kookoo Sometimes the solution is so close, but one does not see them @gpk system date?? Quote Link to comment
gpk Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 The system date was fine. A reinstall has solved the problem.. the recorder works again. I made a backup first, so I'll try to compare it with the new one and see what went wrong! Quote Link to comment
