I will try and have a look again at this but essentially it is something not really supported from a Windows service, everything I've seen code wise to try and make it work was always a bit of an unsupported hack. One option might be to run in interactive mode so I will check why that isn't...
It should be opening the same port and be at the same URL, maybe try running it as an administrator, although not sure that would make much difference. Are you using the newest version? There have been a few updates since the time you might have first installed it, and there is an installer...
@tonylon you could try running the program in interactive mode as a normal windows user, that will help identify if it is a permission issue due to the Service aspect. To try this:
1) Stop the windows service for DvrOnTime
2) Navigate to the Program Files\DvrOnTime folder
3) Double click the...
I see some info has been added regarding the sharing aspect across a network. @dearleuk so you are using DvrOnTime and it happily records across to the networked drive? If so good to hear. In theory the software should be able to access a shared network drive using the support provided by the...
Did you try rebooting after making the registry change? If you did I think that is confirming then that the database isn't loading on Windows 7. Microsoft do state that Windows 8 or newer are required for any of the more modern SQL database versions.
Appears to be an issue with the database versions, this maybe due to the version not being supported. If you have a look at the PDF instructions it shows how to check the database version in the registry, sometimes this isn't upgrade correctly so worth checking that, make sure you remember the...
Seems like it installed the database side. If you look in the Windows Event log after trying to start the service can you let me know what the error message is?
On Googling SQL Server localdb v 2019 is only supported from Windows 8 and above, however it may be unofficially supported. Can you check if you have this folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\150\LocalDB\Binn with lots of files in, that would indicate it was installed.
Good question about the multiple tuners, I'm not sure how the software would react seeing two as I've not tested that having only one tuner myself. Yes it could support more than one tuner but may need some tweaking, let me know how you get on.
I've added the SQL database setup to the zip file...
I've put up a new version. No need to update unless you want to, i.e. this version isn't a bug fix for anything.
Changes
New view programs by channel. From the guide click the channel name in the left hand column to jump to channel view, or click the Channel menu item and select a channel...
I hope everyone had a great Christmas (well given the circumstances) and those using DvrOnTime I hope it didn't let you down over the busy TV schedule of the holidays.
I'm just testing an update which I will make available in the next few days, this brings in a new page as requested to list...
On Waltham here as well and we didn't have any issues although we hardly ever record SD, and HD is a bit more robust. Couldn't tell you the last time we saw any sort of interference.
We have a logarithmic aerial in the loft so the signal is attenuated quite a bit, but on a good day we can see...
It is there for you try if you want to, obviously it is offered free and that means it comes with no guarantees. It isn't a cloud based service so isn't reliant on anything outside of a persons own network or me funding some service somewhere. There may be bugs in it that only show up after a...
No monthly fees to Silicondust or anyone else, one of the reasons I did my own software as many seem to be going towards monthly fees for EPG data that is already provided free (well as part of the TV licence fee). So it uses the same over-the-air EPG data as the Humax or any other Freeview...
Hi @Ian Manning
I'm the author of the software, it isn't commercial and only something I've done for my own use and then made it available for anyone else hence you will find few if any references to it outside of here. It only works with HDHomeRun network tuners, but out of all the tuners...
@jfshw I've created a new DLL responsible for the writing of the transport stream data, this now adds the extra 4 byte header with timestamp as required to become an m2ts file. To install simply stop the service, take a copy of the DLL TransportStream.dll so you have it to restore back if you...
The Repair Shop on Friday 9th @ 20:00 was removed from the schedule and replaced by Babs, this Repair Shop series is CRID fp.bbc.co.uk/m/4I39. The next Repair Shop to be on now is Wednesday the 16th @ 20:00 and that should be picked up correctly to record (has for me on my own DVR software) as...
