Am I correct that at 9.03.12 the box should have started recording ITVHD selfridge which started at 9.00.00. see below extract
That's just silly. You want information, don't make people guess the details. Besides, the single most common reason for something not working is somebody doing something daft.Anyone with a little sense had more than enough info to help if they knew the reason.
Those were the recording end times. All three events are on the same mux anyway. The recording should have commenced when the first recording terminated at 21:03:12, but maybe the flag wasn't present or something.Forgive me for pointing out the obvious, but it looks to me like the Humax that was already recording two items in the same time slot, so if your failed recording actually started at say 21:03:36 then neither tuner would be free to record it
Well; Say first tuner records bbc1 stuff20.00 to 21.00 to 22.00Forgive me for pointing out the obvious, but it looks to me like the Humax was already recording two items in the same time slot, so if your failed recording actually started at say 21:03:36 then neither tuner would be free to record it
The Humax wont record 3 programmes at the same time even if they are on the same MUX, however, I had not noticed that the log shows the end times. The reason for the failed recording was probably that the Accurate Recording flag 'start flag' was sent before 21:03:12 so that when a tuner was free it waited for a start flag that had already been sentAll three events are on the same mux anyway.
The start flag is a single event as far as I know, I don't think it gets sent repeatedly, so if the Humax misses it, there is no second chanceSo it would seem that ITV was not transmitting the starting flag/signal 4-5 minutes after the actual start of the program, when my hummy was free to process it.
Meaning that it only needs one tuner.The Humax wont record 3 programmes at the same time even if they are on the same MUX
Yeah, but the thing is - I think it's not actually a "start" flag rather a "programme ID" status which is present throughout the programme. The scheduled recording should have noticed the programme in progress and recorded it, albeit with a "failed to track" error and missing the start. The AR recording then terminates when the programme ID changes to the next programme.
Agree.it's not actually a "start" flag rather a "programme ID" status which is present throughout the programme.
Not necessarily.All three events are on the same mux anyway.
That's not my problem, I have tuned only the channels for my region manually.The more recent versions of the HDR-FOX T2 software do help with auto-tuning, but for local channels will always still be stored with the additionl varients spread out in the 800/1000s.
.
The ETSI Spec for Digital Video Broadcasting, (LINK HERE page 99) does show that the TVA_id_descriptor can be sent continuously throughout the programme if the broadcaster decides to use it, however we don't now how the Humax would use this info. if/when it is sentAnd that would be interesting to know what it is based on.
af123 knows all about it because that's how the bookmarks get set to the start and end of programmes within non-AR recordings (arbookmarks). These things do not get plucked out of thin air, they are all distilled from the accumulated knowledge base, but as time goes on it becomes more difficult to remember where they came from (google to the rescue!).And that would be interesting to know what it is based on. According to the things.... up to 30 minutes after the start of the program the hummy should have noticed Selfridge and start recording it.
