Big trouble with recordings via timer /epg

[pooface]

No drivers are not the same, im sure of this

why so sure?

 

[bobi]

Becouse i was told so i now got drivers for 2T to, but no dirver for Single model. i was send the drivers and in the e-mail was told not to publish them and that drivers are not the same.
Maybe they are, but as long as i have not tested them my self then i must relay on answer i got from the guy that send me the drivers

A friend of mine that i send the drivers to have tested this on his Twin box now and he sasy that is working, i my self will test this after 18:00 today as im home then



cheers

all of the TM OE receivers run almost the exactly same hardware and the drivers are a one for all job, the drivers we received are for all 3 receivers as they always have been.

Re: Big trooble with recordings via timer /epg

@phoenix are the drivers for general release or just for testing? As drivers for my tm twin are dated February I believe

Re: Big trooble with recordings via timer /epg

No there for testing purposes only so we cant release them.

Lets hope they cure the problem then,mine's fine on single recordings but if I set to record one program after then other on the same or different channels the first recordings fine but the second is just a blank recording

I cannot answer that, sorry i write what i was told, and i did not get any credit from the work just plain informing

I got only driver for 2T and Twin OE, for the Single i have not got driver yet

anyway i have bad news, out of 9 Timer recordings that my friend have made, only one is with no problem.He was maybe to eager to give me good answer at first timer recording, but later i got new e-mail with the below answer.

All other 8 timer recordings are not working, he send me e-mail and told me that from this 7 timer recordings there is 1 min and 58 sec he says there is both picture and audio, then after this only audio is hearing , picture stops after 1 min and 58 sec, out of this 8 recordings 1 is totaly black as before.

i will drive home from work in about 30 min, and will be home to try this my self , but im not very optimistic about this new driver

I did clealy state that driver is not to be made public



cheers

I'm having the same problem (consecutive recording same channel list as 1000's of minutes and are black etc.), and it's a shame as it's a big blight on what is otherwise a good box with useful features. I hope this gets sorted soon as I rely heavily on recordings and it's poor that this doesn't function correctly.

They are working on the drivers. Until fixed, may be an idea to set timers as "zap and record" instead of default "record".

Have been trying this method. Simultaneous recordings still fail. However, it looks like if you offset the start times by a minute all is ok. So far all single recordings on zap and record have been good. Not ideal but better than failing all the time. I'll keep testing and feedback.

I have been testing few drivers lately, and im sure that there is not far from they release the new images with this drivers, next we the guys have to make some final tweekings and then perhaps they release the drivers. Just a matter of time now acctualy i have had timer recordings like 3 days non stop without failing now, but there is here and there some failure and this is what is keeping the drivers from public release, they do not release them untill they are sure all works as it should Picture quality on the other hand with last drivers have improved alot in my opinion

Some news from latest drivers

this is what i have found and perhaps this is not a bug with the drivers, but here it goes

I have got the lates drivers today and been testing with the Twin OE only. when i add a timer recordig via EPG that starts Normaly and records OK as it should.
then if i test to add 2 timers from EPG on same time from diferent channel then here only one of the timers get recorded, meanwhile i wach another channel.

So now i wonder, is it not possible to recoerd 2 programs at same time ? or is this a driver problem still.

Say i watch Sky1 , then i go to BBC HD and add a timer that starts at 18:00 then i go to ITV4 and add a timer that allso starts at 18:00 , would this be problematic for the recording as in reality there are 3 channels being workded at same time.

timer and watching same channel never fails here,

cheers

The image is able to detect and warn the user of any recording conflicts at the time of setting the recordings, the same is true if you have two or more scheduled recordings due to start while your watching a live channel, you will get a nag screen telling you of the conflict and ask you what you want to do. This system works fine on every other receiver i use just fine, as it does on the TM's, there is no doubt in my mind that this is a driver issue.

also if you set two or more recordings to start at the same time and place the receiver into standby it still fails ( i have made well over 150 such recordings in this last week alone with half a dozen drivers sets and all are the same, some to a lesser degree some worse ).

 

[judge]

bobi, where are you getting the drivers?

 

[bobi]

Judge, cant tell mate, have prommised to keep this only for my self i hope you understadn this
i can tell that i know the some friend, but cant tell it here


Phoenix, i have donne since last evening like 30 recordings fine, as long as they are not on same time, meaning as long as they do not start at same time.
This have been tested with 4D last image with new drivers, you know it for sure tonight i will test with ViX as 4D is not my kind of image and i like ViX

One think i noticed with last drivers is that, now we have picture on all timer recordings but no audio on all of them, do you have this problem. I see what only in 1 week there is much much improvments on the driver, so it is only a matter of time before is released.

Thats the entire bug rite there mate. Staggered recordings are fine and always have been. Multiple recordings that start at the same time as each other are the ones that are failing on the technomate receivers.

not really, the only new drivers going into a ViX image are the ones tested by ViX.
There have been loads of new drivers released for testing recently, all with different results.
Without knowing what drivers you're using, it's impossible to tell if they are the same ones that might make their way into a ViX image.

If the drivers being tested by the Vix Team are failing on simultaneous multiple recordings, then this is infinitely better than the 20/02/2013 version which sometimes fail on individual timed recordings.

Abu, I've had no issues with single individual timed recordings on either TM2T or TMTwin, if you have debug logs, can you upload them for when it happens.

The drivers have changed massively since 20/02/2013, some disastrous, some slightly ok, some recording on FTA but crap out on multiple encrypted.
The more debug logs, the better.
