Hello,
I notified a bug on Timers, not only on VTI 4.0, but also on VIX (ViX-2.3.133/153), i haven't tried on Blackhole...

I created a timer to record every day at 17h30 on a channel, and sometimes this timer doesn't record...

It occur mostly when i'm watching another channel at the time wich the timer is programmed... the timer doens't zap and record ....
If i zap by myself to the channel on wich the timer is supposed to record, the standard "record timer popup" and the vusolo record...
but if i don't zap on the channel myself, the vusolo doesn' t zap to record...
- The VU+Solo act like if the "priority to record" wasn't enabled... (record priority is enabled in personnal setting)

Any idea ? Did other peoples with VU+Solo have same problem ?

Any idea to solve the problem ?

Thankyou in advance

here is my enigma setting (/Etc/enigma/setting) file (i disabled the two cooltimer settings in GoolTVGuide" to see if it change something.

- Should this parameter be on True or False for timers auto zap and record ?
config.recording.asktozap=true

- What is this parameter ?
config.misc.isNextRecordTimerAfterEventActionAuto=true

:

config.CTVG.Cool3D=Standard
config.CTVG.Cool_OKLong=Zap + Exit
config.CTVG.Cool_Timeline=16
config.CTVG.guideswitch=2
config.CTVG.cool_left16=110
config.CTVG.TimerAlarm=false
config.CTVG.TimerAlarmDisable=false
config.CTVG.Cool_Left_Fontsize=16
config.CTVG.prev_time_period=240
config.misc.isNextRecordTimerAfterEventActionAuto=true
config.plugins.epgsearch.history_length=10
config.plugins.UIPositionSetup.dst_height=571
config.usage.show_event_progress_in_servicelist=true
config.recording.margin_before=5
config.recording.margin_after=5
config.recording.asktozap=true


Any help please ? i'm bored to miss startrek at 17h30 GMT ...

I know this... this is not the subject.

i'm talking about recording priority : in general when you have a record programmed, and you are watching the channel, the box will zap to record your movie .... IT's "Priority to Record"

With old images, it work, even if you are watching tv on a channel, the record timers have priority, when the time come, Enigma zap on the programmed channel to record without any intervention of your part...

On my Vu+SOLO it don't work... timers enabled record only if in standby mode... or if i zap myself on the channel to record...

Thankyou for your answer, but should i change something in this line (=yes or =no) ? :

Quellcode

1. config.recording.asktozap = yes

actually it's :

Quellcode

1. config.recording.asktozap = ConfigYesNo(default=True)

Quellcode

1. from config import ConfigNumber, ConfigYesNo, ConfigSubsection, ConfigSelection, config
3. def InitRecordingConfig():
4. config.recording = ConfigSubsection();
5. # actually this is "recordings always have priority". "Yes" does mean: don't ask. The RecordTimer will ask when value is 0.
6. config.recording.asktozap = ConfigYesNo(default=True)
7. config.recording.margin_before = ConfigNumber(default=0)
8. config.recording.margin_after = ConfigNumber(default=0)
9. config.recording.debug = ConfigYesNo(default = False)
10. config.recording.ascii_filenames = ConfigYesNo(default = False)
11. config.recording.filename_composition = ConfigSelection(default = "standard", choices = [
12. ("standard", _("standard")),
13. ("short", _("Short filenames")),
14. ("long", _("Long filenames")) ] )

Hello,
i have added this parameter in enigma setting file, but is there another way to force the box to zap ?
Today again i have missed Star Trek... it's a major bug... wich is present in all images, VU+ must do something...

On Gemini dm800 there is a "quickzap" (plugin) wich zap (without recording) on a channel at a certain hour... This plugin could solve my problem if i was able to found it...
I have searched this plugin in Download Menu -> VTI server, but nothing...

any help please ?

Hello,
The problem came today again...
Here is the logs (if it's the right log ... : Var/log/messages and Var/log/Messages0)

The timer was supposed to launch at 17h30 GMT, but the record haven't started... it have started only when i have manually zapped to the channel...

In the log i don't see anything wich contain "timer", "record", or something like that...
In the log i have removed all lines wich contain mention to CCcam...

Any help please ?
Thanks
Ced

HI Guys,
Can someone confirm it's the true log :
/var/log/messages
Because i haven't see any mention to record or timer or something like that in this log...
thankyou
CEd

Any help please ?

To each one with this problem...
I have found why sometimes record with timers doesn't start...
To solve the problem :
In VTI 4.2.3 Enable
VTI Settings -> Always Zap before record
In VTI 6.xx
VTI -> Setup-System -> Always Zap before record

Now everything is ok for me, and timers always record... I think this option was enabled by default in old VTI and others images, but was disabled recently... It would be good to re-enable it by default in newer images...

Are you sure ? i was sure i have seen this option or an equivalent in precedent images... No matter, it's a long time ago now, and you are probably right...
But the thing i am sure at 100%, it's i have never got timers problems with images before i write this post (i mean VTI 3.2.x, VIX same period);...
And now,with this option enabled, timers always work...
