ARGUS TV

Since then I uninstalled and re installed 3.0.0.8 and it went well and is still working OK.

Are you still looking for feedback for 3.0.0.9. I presume that event based version removes the need to poll every minute or so and only updates when an entry is changed in Argus.

Dear Paul
I´m extremely sorry for that your server hung! Excuse my silent days recently.
No, the 3.0.0.9 was unsuccessful try, I already deleted it and started implementation of event-based process on the base of 3.0.0.8.
Once again: excuse me.

Greetz & Thanks - Chris

Short note to ATV2LO 3.x-users with Argus 2.3 beta 12 or prior:
Due to cache handling, it may happen, that a wrong starting time is stored to LO.
This happens if you effectively change schedules through ¨indirect measures¨, examples are:
- changing Settings -> Pre- post-recording time
- activating / deactivating existing schedules in ¨Recordings¨
- changing Channels
- probably more cases
In those cases, the cache is not updated (in my case ¨endlessly¨) unless a recording schedule is created, deleted, or saved. Or until machine or service is restarted.
If you have sensitive recordings to come, please add/delete a schedule so that the cache is updated, then wait for upto three minutes until ATV2LO picked it up.
Or restart the machine after such changes for the time being.
Dot-i works on it.

ATV2LO 2.x on Argus 2.2.x is not affected

Hi Chris, thanks for note. Coincidentally I came across this bug yesterday. I was exploring the merging of services within Argus which caused havoc with schedules. I think there is a merge bug in b12 which needs exploring. Anyhow it resulted in in ATV2LO going round in an endless loop, gave 638 errors in log! Fortunately once I had finished my configuration on merging services, a simple restart of relevant services corrected the anomaly and system in now running sweet.

ATV2LO 3.0.0.8 is working well for me with b12.

Hi Paul, thanks for reporting back.
Do you still have the logs and could drop them? (Maybe PM?) I´d like to look at them, though, to see if there´s more than this.
Thanks in advance & knd regards - Chris

Hi,

I'm using ArgusTV 2.2.2 with ATV2LO 2.1.0.5 and all is working fine.

If I use ArgusTV 2.3 RC with ATV2LO 3.0.0.8 I got a problem with ATV2LO. The Dashboard on my WHS2011 says on the point "ArgusTV" that there is a problem. I think it was code -2 and sometimes -3.

ArgusTV 2.3 RC works fine.

How can I solve this problem?

Hi Jaques-Ludwig,

Could you please set the logging level to info and drop a zip containing the log?
Or copy the relevant part in a post using the quote-statements (see above the editor).
Does ATV2LO import the schedules to your LO correctly or not at all?
I must say, that probably the dashboard itself will be discontinued, as I will have not any chance to maintain or test it. I´d rather like to add a small GUI for all Win Versions as an application.

It's not so easy to make a log file because I have to uninstall the old version, install the rc version and reconfigure all. I need first time for this

I don't need the dashboard version. I would only need a application that writes into the lightsout calender because the server would go to standby during a record.

I will take a look this week.

Tanks,

Take your time, JL!
Just to know: ATV2LO should work for you, even if you would get an (initial) error. The 2.3RC-version is still not a final version, the event-driven update is missing; currently it's updated cyclically.

With the new 2.3 version Lightsout still doesnt work on WHS 2011. No entry in the kalender.

In order to assist you pinning down your problem I can confirm that LightsOut v1.5.7.2284 is working satisfactory with Argus 2.3 on a Windows 7 Professional platform
