This post is used to collect some hints.

• If your Notifier icon shows ¨no connection¨ after install of Argus 2.3 RC:
  To fix this, right click on the notifier icon, select options and fill in the user name and password boxes. (thanks, dl144)
• If you find in Scheduler Console --> Recorders more recorders:
  New recorders have been added according to your previous installation, but using ¨https¨ protocol. The old ¨net tcp¨ recorders are deactivated, if still present, you may remove them (not anymore supported & replaced).
• If a previous recording can´t be imported using Scheduler Console:
  Please look at this post: viewtopic.php?p=34132#p34132
• Compatibility list:
  • Compatible: XBMC PVR-plugin as is
  • Compatible: MediaPortal 1.7.x / 1.8 final Client/TVServer as is
  • Compatible: Argus to Lightsout (ATV2LO), upgrade ATV2LO to version 3.x is necessary (viewtopic.php?f=76&t=4113)
  • New: COMPATIBLE: TV Guide Enhancer (viewtopic.php?f=76&t=4003) - compatible since version (pre-release) 2.3.0.315 - see viewtopic.php?p=34676#p34676

After installing 2.3 RC the tray notifier icon was always showing "Not connected to core services" and filling the scheduler log file with entries like this:

Code: Select all

...
2014-07-26 13:10:25.9616 [Error][10]: Refused https connection to unknown user ''.
2014-07-26 13:10:26.1332 [Error][10]: Refused https connection to unknown user ''.
2014-07-26 13:10:26.1488 [Error][10]: Refused https connection to unknown user ''.
2014-07-26 13:10:26.1644 [Error][10]: Refused https connection to unknown user ''.
...

To fix this, right click on the notifier icon, select options and fill in the user name and password boxes.

Notifier now connects over HTTPS and so must have HTTPS user/password.

I am attempting to run an import/synchronize on some recordings that I have moved from another machine. The missing files appear and I select them. When I click Finish, the error comes up: "SqlDateTime overflow. Must be between 1/1/1753 12:00:00 AM and 12/31/9999 11:59:59 PM/" Please let me know if I can supply further info.

Hi acdj

This happend also quite frequently during the most recent beta phase. Dot-i fixed most of the occurencies, but not all. This is on the list to be fixed for the Release.

Additional useful information could be the file itself or the metadata provided with this recording. Did you create an .arg file with this recording? If not, could you create properties´ information of this file? In any case, please keep this recording, it might be of interest for dot-i tracking down the issue.
I´m sorry, that we can´t provide you a 100% solution yet.

Hi together,

Argus 2.3 becomes closer to release, so i plan to migrate too and change something in my Setup, so the sheduler should run on my 24/7-Server.
One important question doesn't let me sleep

If the sheduler Wakes up the Recorder, who is the one that holds the Recorder Keep alive, while recording is running?
Does the sheduler send the wol-packets permanent, or do i Need ATV2LO for the Recorder?

Thanks for any hint.

...same with me here, as I don't have any spare parts to test 2.3RC with.

I *think* sending WOL-packets continuously is not working as "keepalive".
So the recorder should take care of that and since cross-platform compatibility is on the
feature/wish list, ATV2LO is only a legacy option for win-OS based recorders.
I hope this APM feature is baked into the recorder code itself.

[luetty]

Hi Hominidae,

i'm also not sure if WOL-Packets can keep the recorder alive.
It was just a first idea. I would also prefer a built in "keepalive" within the recorder process.

Maybe someone has experience with that.

My current setup is rocksolid, so i've 100% to be sure that the migrating goes smoothly.
I don't like my wife crying

thanks again

Hi guys,

i just try to install/update 2.3 RC2 but it failed at the point where i have to define the connection to Mysql DB with the Error Message "Die Eingabezeichenfolge hat das falsche Format"
When i enter a wrong password then i get the message that the authentication failed.
An ideas ?
