Big trouble with recordings via timer /epg

[kanwar]

Thanks for the tips.

I don't have a massive issue doing that but such elementary problems are highly annoying. The developers should be ashamed of themselves. Why don't they test these things properly, ffs?!

(Drivers that do not fail on single timed recordings but fail on simultaneous ones are better than the current ones.)

i have never had a single recording fail yet with any drivers set, its always dual or more recordings that fail in some way or another for me.

now you may understand why we have not included any new drivers in the image yet, we will only push drivers to ViX when we are sure they work and do what they are supposed to.

Thanks for the info, pheonix.

I regret buying this box. If I knew it had this problem I would have never gone for it.

Have the official TM given any timescale for a fix?

To be fair the hardware is top notch and i really can not fault my Twin or 2T on that score and yes it's very frustrating at the moment with the state of the drivers but they are being worked on, sadly there is no timeframe as to when this issue will be fixed. Basically we are only able to test what we are given, if they work great, they will be included in the image, if not then the whole thing starts over again and we wait for another driver set to be sent to us for testing.

I hope you are given drivers to sort this issue.

By the way, I now know why i changed from the 4d image in the first place. Lol. Still so buggy and poor compared to VIX.

The only thing is that the 4d image does not cause my recorded Sky Movies to stutter when i play them whereas VIX image does. Should i try an older build of VIX perhaps? 4D recording playback seems a bit more stable overall, is there any driver difference?

Thanks for your kind assistance, everyone.

The new 4d image for recording is worse than ever. Multiple failed recordings on single timers.

Oh dear! They are still using a different bootloaders too. It is not a new one either as far as I can tell.

For the Twin,
DAGS are using a bootloader with checksum 77ac0c49036968768e0392dc0432d246
The 07/11/2012 version on openvix has checksum 28b962603b47d629cf4fa15d51fd63d0

The Receiver comes up with slightly different clock speed counters depending on which loader you use. Some other differences on the rs232 bootup logs.

Hello guys,

I'd just like to add some feedback and a couple of issues I'm having using current VIX build 668.

I've had a couple of single recordings I've made lately wherein the picture is fine throughout but a short while into the video the audio cuts off. Today, this happened with French Open 2013 on Eurosport HD , after about 6.37 mins of the recording. This is very strange indeed.

Other recordings, live channels etc work fine and I've never had this problem watching Live TV. I tried rebooting the box etc but it did not help. I downloaded the .ts file using FTP Filezilla and the sound cuts off after 6.37 mins, for sure.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I would be very grateful for any help as I really wanted to watch highlights of Federer's match but without sound it's boring!

EDIT: With the recording today, I had it on Eurosport HD when I pressed record.

K.

I've just spoken to TM on the phone and they say that the VIX image is the reason for the failed recordings. They have directed me to the latest 4d image which supposedly resolves the issue:

What a load of crap!

He also suggested that I may have a dodgy box. How can I check whether I have a real or cloned box?

The issue is their drivers! NOT the ViX image. We are the last stage of testing their new driver before we release them.

No chance of a clone, there no such thing as TM-Twin clone.

Take it from me mate Technomate are full of #### on this one, they have given us driver pack after driver pack that has progressively gotten worse every time, they simply do not want to deal with these issues and would rather blame others, frankly i'm fed up of their nonsense. Rite now we have a set of drivers that may finally look like fixing this issue but i would not hold your breath too long for fear of suffocation.

Totaly have to agrea on all you say Phoenix. Im one of the few that have had the chance to test the drivers from a very cloused source.
There have been more problems then there have been fixes realy and TM needs to get their act together.

I have used countless of hourts in testing tyhe drivers and have reported back to themn constantly of their problems and what fails with the drivers.
I would say TM is risking so much with this accusations, realy ViX is not the Problem here, but more like the Dirver TM gives.

I have tested the last 4D image and must say works realy better then anything out there for now, but it is still not 100% bugfree.


Anyway, if you have the last drivers from TM , would you consider making a BETA image only for one time so we can test this and tel TM to shut up and give us the right and working drivers.



cheers

Lucky you then because on both on my receivers ( Twin and 2T ) i'm still getting at least a 30% fail rate along with several other members of the beta team, especially when making three or more simultaneous recordings.

i have only doing 2 simultaneous recordings, can never find 3 or more things to record simultaneous
most of the thing are repeats

Thankfully I haven't had a chance to test the no doubtful multiple drivers over the last few weeks...
However, if you want to record more than 2 shows at the same time, record one, record another, hit the up/down channel list button and record any others that aren't grayed out...

 

[RL73]

Have installed the new 4d image dated 7/6 and have made several simultaneous recordings on subscription channels with no issues. Hope this is now resolved. How are VIX getting on? I prefer the interface.

well TM have finally ( after 3 months ) acknowledged that there is a problem with multiple recordings and that it's a problem with their drivers, so were just waiting on them sending us more drivers to test.

All my recordings have been fine all week...:thumbsup:
