Re: Resume Sceduled Recording after Crash

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



With regard to lockups...look in device manager and see if you have any
devices sharing IRQ's.

If so, I would try and move the tuner cards around so that they each get
thier own IRQ. Why XP should handle IRQ sharing, I have seen some
motherboards just hiccup when it comes to the tuners. Spread the tuners out
if you can and see what happens.

Can you disable any unused devices: serial, parellel, 1394? Might help....

Maybe someone else will chime in, but I know that recordings start up again
for me...

Although the event viewer reckons it's a device driver problem, I reckon
it's due to having two Dvico tuner cards in the PC. It only happens a couple
of times a week so I've been too lazy to prove it. Of course it could be a
Dvico device driver problem.

But I wonder why your setup should resume a recording whilst mine doesn't.
Hmmm....can't find a setting for it but if yours does and mine doesn't there
must be a reason!

The few times (3 maybe) that my Media Center 2005 RU2 pc has crashed while
a
program was recording, it resumed the recording once the pc restarted and
the
'ehome' service started up again. As long as the PC rebooted during the
"recording time" for a show, it was automatic.

When this happens, I end up with 2 recordings for the same show:
1st recording = start time - until reboot
2nd recording = rebooted service started recording resumes - until end
time
for recording

I usually miss 4 / 5 minutes of the show being recorded during this
process
of rebooting and starting again.

More importantly, why is your computer crashing?
Does the event viewer shed any light on why?

Once in a while my computer crashes. Is there a way to have MCE RESUME
recording of a scheduled recording when this happens. I guess the
scheduled
recording is assumed to have completed once the recording starts but if
the
computer recovers from a crash then it won't know to resume - I only got
5
mins of the soccer this morning :(
