Big trouble with recordings via timer /epg

[Larry-G]

There is no such thing as ViX drivers, we only use what TM provide good or bad, personally i have not had any issues with any of my three TM's in months since TM fixed the last batch of issues in their drivers / kernel.

Out of interest has the vix drivers changed last month or so? I noticed recordings started going iffy so went back to older 4d image august time one, also notice it was oscam not working so good on them so use cccam, only problem there get glitching on some channels with that due to servers needing csp update. To be honest tm twin is a bit of a nightmare box my spark triple tuner box does destroy it on stability wise shame because its such a fast box.

I'd suggest you answered your own question & re-read the site rules.
If recordings wern't working again using legit subs, you can be damn sure we'd be seeing lots of complaints, so far we're not...

Oscam is the worst cam to use with this receiver in terms of recordings failing. Surprisingly I've had better success with recording on Star Plus HD channel with cccam 2.1.4 as apposed to cccam 2.2.1 although the failed recording issue is still there but failing less frequently.

I'm going to try cccam 2.3.0 to see if I can get rid of the problem also a combination of both oscam+cccam. If the problem is still there I'm going to get rid and will never buy another TM linux receiver again due to inferior support from TM.

What local smartcard are you using?

What would anyone gain using one of these boxes with a legit sub? might aswell have a legit box that would work properly with it.

I'm using Sky UK card but not in the TM Twin.

The failed recording issue occurs when viewing as a client and oscam fails on all recordings after a few minutes or the recording is completely blank.

well in my case i gain the ability to customize almost every aspect of my receiver exactly to my own liking, I can choose the skin i want to use, i have a far greater EPG than that of a standard sky box and i can stream content to and from multiple receivers and other attached devices. Were not all in this hobby to try and get something for nothing, I know i'm certainly not.

Yeah fair play if you are happy with that is what counts, myself I would want it all done for me with a legit card if I am paying for it hence a legit box. Thanks to the vix guys for keep trying on the tm twin but it is a bad box and most people just accept that now and never say much anymore is why its quiet. Anyway slapping mine on fleabay to get rid now had enough of it then get another spark triple tuner to replace it.

With the latest Oscam as a client I found the recording can stop if you change channels or playback the recording while still in progress, where CCcam seems ok but has problems with some channels as a client where latest Oscam does not.

I still have the issue running the latest Oscam version. I'm currently testing the latest version of oscam with cccam 2.30 and haven't had any failed recordings so far for 2 days. However I will continue testing it for a week or so to see if the problem comes back although I'm still not happy with the fact that I can't use Oscam on its own with this receiver.

Also it doesn't appear to be a problem with Oscam sounds more like a driver issue with the cams.

@Mkhan,
After you reported the issue last week, I have scheduled recordings of Veera over last few days. They all recorded and played back fine. I didn't watach all of them, just went through them at several minutes till the end.

If you want the forum members to assist they you will need to provide logs. As you say if fails more often then not, then it should be easy enough to reproduce. TM did have issues with oscam at the beginning of the Twin's lifecycle. May well be that they never fiixed it properly. The drivers are used in the Nano, Nano 2T, Single, 2T and Twin, so it is in TM's interest to resolve this. I dare say that if it is an error they made at base level, it will also make its way into the 1.3ghz range. (They messed up OpenTV epg on the TM800 and they implemented the drivers in the same way on the Twin at launch.

Without logs or more details such as your configs etc, nobody is going to be able to reproduce the issues you are having. Once others can reproduce the issue, something can hopefully be done.

Yeah the latest oscam clears all the channels great on the tm, but once you start recording its a pain, CCcam seemed fine recording on 4d image from august but the vix latest ones was abit iffy, one problem I has on both latest images 4d and vix was when a recording started current channel being viewed would freeze so I guess somethings been changed on both of them lately. Anyway good news I am a free man now the tm twin oe has been sold it had taken enough of my life away lol.

Good news that you sold on a box that you don't see fit for purpose?
Whose good news is that?

Has anyone on this thread being using a local card for recording purposes?

Ok guys i think this thread has now run it's course and i'm closing it down, if you have a legitimate issue please create a bug report otherwise lets leave it there shall we.
