DVR recording settings

On my older DVR, when I set a recording, I had the option to add seconds or minutes to the recording time to make sure that I caught a complete show. On my newer Xfininity box, I can only go to the program on the menu and select record. So many times when we watch a recording we miss the very end of the show.... Is there no way to add a few extra seconds or minutes to a recording time ?

Good day! I know what you mean... TW has that feature. I know I can do it on the TV Remote app from XFinity so I can only assume there is some way from the remote. Unfortuantely, I have not relocated to GA yet so I do not know what you need to do. I do get ALOT of calls from my wife who is down there already. LOL! I did find this on the XFinity website... Hope they help! http://customer.xfinity.com/help-and-support/cable-tv/x1-modify-the-recording-time-of-a-program/

DVR Recording Space

I have had the X1 for about 2 years. Until recently, the DVR recording space indicator would reach 100% when my DVR filled up. Lately, the indicator never goes past 80%, and my shows are constantly deleted even when it appears there is space. Currently, the indicator does not go past 70%, and shows are deleted. Is there an issue with the indicator? It is very frustrating to think I have space available. I have been making sure my Deleted Shows are permanently deleted, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. The indicator seems to top out at 68%. Please explain why this is happening.

Same problem here which started on the evening of March 18th into early yesterday. I have 2 DVR's and both had recording issues for the first time. One showed 100% space used, even though there was just 43% used and anything that recorded was either not recorded or did for a few minutes. The other DVR cut off one show by 3 minutes, another recorded for 36 mins. and yet a few of them recorded in full. However,  yesterday's recordings just never happened. So it's Verizon's problem as I called them to fix this.
I told them I knew there was VOD outage nationwide and the tech said it shouldn't have affected the DVRs but he was getting calls about the same issues we are all having here.   He made me do the following and what it does is resync the hard drive to the DVR.
This was the command: On the FIOS TV remote, press STB, then press MENU. Scroll down and select "Settings". Next, highlight System Information. Now press on the remote 4883, then OK. Then press 2601 and then OK.   Each code updates something onscreen.
I got scared when all went black for awhile. All I saw was a black screen and 4 dashes on the STB. But it did eventually reboot everything. I kinda looked the reboot it always does. Hope it works.

Can Not Use LAST Button to go Back to DVR Recording

My LAST button works fine from chanell to channel. I can be watching a DVR recording, and the box will go back to the live channel I was watcing when I hit LAST. If the LASt button is pressed again, it does NOT go back to DVR. I know with Comcast, the LAST button would go back and forth from live to DVR recordings.
Anyone found a work around for this? We be nice to go back and forth from DVR to live TV with just using the LAST button.

This is one of the few things I miss from Comcast. Monday nights I'll be watching 24 and recording Raw. I would always switch over to wrestling during the commercials on 24. A previous easy button press now requires navigating menus.

Inbound Idoc - control record settings

Hi,
we have a JDBC to Idoc scenario. We get data from JDBC interface (outbound), map some fields and send it to a receiver SAP system as an Idoc (inbound). We did a similar scenario before and PI filled out automatically the control record settings. So in our mapping to the idoc XML format the must fieds in the control records are set to constant="pi dummy entry".
It worked for the former scenario well. For this new scenario it doesn't! When i monitor the payload, SNDPOR as example is set with our dummy value of the mapping ("pi dummy entry").
specials:
- CC checkbox "Apply Control Values from Payload" is NOT set!
- The destination SAP Business System is configured as a Party in Integration Directory (not such configurations in SLD)
- We use PI 7.0
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Michael

Hi Michael,
>>So the control record will not be send. I was expecting, that PI the control record data according to the configuration fills. Maybe this is a wrong assumption.
Yes you need to disable the control record in message mapping, because you want PI to make it at run time based on the configuration done in PI. So apart from disabling it you need to do some more settings.
If you have used parties in SAP PI, then select the
1.Apply control records in IDOC communication channel
2. Update the Identifier tab in the IDoc receiver channel with the correct information for sender/receiver
now when you see the IDoc Outbound (in SOap Header) then you will see the correct sender and receiver details.

How do I copy the DVR recorded content to Laptop or any external drive.

How do I copy the DVR recorded content to Laptop or any external drive. Pl suggest.
Thx.

It is awkward but I have a Coax line out the DVR that goes to my Media Center Computer (which has the same multimedia software that is built into Vista) and then to my computer's TV tuner. (This is the same line out function that you use to send the DVR output to a VCR) Using my Media Center software, I can play the recorded DVR program and record that on my computer. Once in the computer, I can transfer the file by my wireless network to my laptop. It is a bit convoluted and requires a computer with a TV Tuner to record the program, but it can be done if I really want the item recorded to the computer.

Why won't my dvr record the whole program?

Why won't my dvr record the whole program I'm watching when I press the record button. It only records from when I pushed the button.
I can go through "menu" to "DVR" to "Create New Recording" to "Manual Recording" and then hit "OK" and it record from when I first started watching a program.
I used to only have to press record to do this.
I've "Refreshed Devices", Went through "Auto-fix MRDVR Issues" and ran both programs.
Still only records from the time I hit "Record", not back to when I started watching the program.
WHATSUP?

I have basically the same problem, although what's most confusing is it's not completely consistent. When I've been watching a program from the start, there have been times that I've pressed the Record button at some point in the show and everything has been recorded, including the buffered content. But most of the time, that does not happen. Even when I've been on the same channel the whole time and press Record, it usually only records from that point forward, and loses the buffered content. And if I've paused or backed up into the buffer at all, then pressing the Record button only records from that point in live TV forward.
I can't figure out whether there's something I need to do differently. There's more than one way to start a recording -- you can press the red Record button; you can press Info and Record Episode; or you can create a manual recording. I've tried these different ways and it doesn't seem to make a difference in terms of whether the buffered content is recorded or not. I also wonder if it's somehow tied to how much disk space is available.
Thanks for any suggestions or comments. I find this EXTREMELY frustrating. I was a DirecTV customer before and loved the way their DVR worked. I've been with Verizon for about 4 years now and still don't like it. The only thing I do like is the multi-room capability, which DirecTV couldn't offer at the time.

Unique Data Record Settings in DSO

Hello Experts,
I have checked Unique Data Record Settings in DSO.
Error Message while Activation of DSO through Process Chains.
Records already available in Activation Table
Duplicate Records
Activation error occurs & it specifies the Req No/Record No.
But in reality there are no duplicate records available in the specified Record No.
I faced this issue several times, why does this happen.
I guess this Unique Data Records Setting doesnt work.
Regards,
KV

Hi,
I am not sure why unique data setting is set, This is generally used when data with the same key will not come again or you are flushing the DSO and loading everyday. In normal cases it may happen for e.g there can be two records with the same sales document number as user might change the sales document twice.
So i think in u r case u dont need the check mark. Let me know if u have doubt.
Regards,
Viren

Upstairs STB can't see the downstairs DVR recorded shows

Hi all,
I have the DVR downstairs and 2 STBs upstairs. As far as I can tell, the upstairs boxes are doing everything well except for one issue; they are unable to access and play the shows that I have recorded downstairs on the DVR. I have tried the suggested troubleshooting. I unplugged all 3 units and the router for 1 minute, then powered up the router, DVR, and STBs in that order (letting each finish before moving on to the next). The only thing I did since I got FiOS is to change the router SSID and also disabled broadcasting the SSID. I haven't changed the WEP that the technician entered. Do the STBs need the router to broadcast in order to be able to play the DVR-recorded content? Do I need to keep the defaults (I don't really want to broadcast the SSID).
I ran the diagnostics on the STB and everything looked good except for two items; "Remote DVR: Not Applicable" and "DVR Hub Connection: Failed." Are these normal or can they be the source of my problem?
Thanks in advance.

DVR Hub connection Failed is a problem. Call Verizon. For some reason - the DVR is not communicating w/ the router. The SSID is not the issue. Does your settop have an IP address?

More X1 Cloud DVR Recording Problems

For the past week I have been having issues with random recordings not showing up on the X1 Cloud DVR. The recording will occur on the physical DVR but will not record to the Cloud DVR. Yesterday evening I had a total of 6 scheduled recordings, with 2 of them failing to record to the Cloud DVR at their scheduled time. I purposely watched the actual DVR and the Cloud DVR (using my Android phone and the Xfinity TV app) when the recordings were scheduled to start. The 2 recordings that failed to start recording to the Cloud DVR were:Big Brother (S17, Ep 20) Channel 1005 @ 8:01pBehind Bars: Rookie Year - Is It Worth It? (S1, Ep 1) Channel 1330 @ 9:01p As soon as I saw they had failed to start on the Cloud DVR, I used the Android app to find them in the "Guide Listings" and hit the Record button. Prior to my hitting the record button, neither showed the red recording indicator. As soon as I hit the record button, the recording then showed up in the "Recordings" list on the Android app and my PC. If a Comcast employee can look at my DVR recordings and my Cloud recordings you will see that both shows display but each now has a different start time being that it took me about a minute before I could get the recording to start on the Xfinity TV app and website. Now, on to the second problem that I have been having with Cloud DVR recordings. Some of the recordings fail to play with a Stream 500 error, and will not play on any computer, tablet or phone. Others give an Error 900.primetime.102100 code. This occurred when trying to play back "Behind Bars: Rookie Year: Is It Worth It?" This is the show that I had to start the manual recording for since it failed to record to the Cloud DVR even though it was scheduled. This show will not play on any PC using Chrome, IE, or the new Edge browser in Windows 10, Vista or 8.1. It will play on the Android app on my phone or tablet. After trying to play it and failing, I scheduled the show to record another time and it worked. Here is the diagnostics output when trying to play on Chrome.

Video title Behind Bars: Rookie Year: Is It Worth It? It would be nice to get a more stable experience using the Cloud DVR, since I use it about 50% of the time when watching my recorded content.

Since Comcast doesn't seem to want to acknowledge a problem between the X1 DVR and cloud DVR recording schedules, I decided to post this issue to it's own thread. Looking at my recording schedule, I see a bunch of shows I have scheduled for Wednesday (Aug 12, 2015) that are not showing up on the Xfinity TV app or website, but show up on the DVR and the DVR Manager website. As you can see below, out of the 4 shows I have scheduled to record, only 1 is showing up on the Xfinity TV app and website. Since I have seen this in the past, this will end up with those 3 missing shows not recording to the Cloud DVR. Since I already see that my Thursday, Aug 13th, schedule is screwed up as well, I will be posting that as well.

Distinguishing First Run and Rerun for DVR Recording

If you want to record a series, not just a single show, the only choice you have is to record BOTH First-Run episodes AND Reruns. I note that Direct TV users and TiVo users have a choice when recording a series by selecting First Run Only or First Run and Repeats. Without this discriminate, shows that repeat habitually throughout the day and week are recorded. This is a major inconvenience if your recording are almost exclusively series TV shows. It becomes very inconvenient for series broadcast on HBO, where throught the week multiple series and reruns--for example Boardwalk Empire--are all playing in a single week. The lack of this feature--that other services already have--is a major shortcoming.

Something odd there. Which DVR model?
Should be press DVR button scrool to manage series recordings, press right, scroll to show, press ok, (options including change priority, modify series and cancel series. Modify Series. press ok. Options on that include episodes (first run only/first run and repeats). Scroll to episodes, press enter, change as desired, press ok, push right to save, press ok. close menus, may have to do repeated exits.
You may also want to find the dvr settings to set your default options for creating series recordings. menu/settings/system/dvr/default series options

DVR records at wrong time

What gives?
I have my DVR set to record a show that runs in the wee hours of the morning.
A couple times a week, it works. But two or three times a week, it starts recording anywhere from one hour to three hours later. It thinks it has recorded the program, giving all the correct program guide information. But shows that it started recording at these wrong times.
Like I said... What gives?
Richard W.

I don't know "what gives," but you might try fixing the problem by going to the DVR's menu:
Settings > DVR > Default Series Options > Air Time. Set it to "Selected Time Only."
Once you've changed that setting delete and reschedule the series you want to record. Hopefully that will stop the recording happening at the wrong time.

Please help me dial in my recording settings.

Hey guys I have done alot of YouTube voice work over the years but this digital stuff is beyond me haha. I really need some help on getting a noise gate working properly. I have a Rode Podcaster and am using Audition CC 2014.
My main issue is my mic is always hot so if I do so much as breath or move a piece of paper across my desk you can hear it and LOUD. I used to think a noise gate would just let your voice through and cut the rest of the stuff out. I dont know why I am having such a problem getting this setup with audition.
I open up a multitrack recording and selected Voice leveler and Noise gate but but the release is so aggressive that if even change the tone of my voice it will sometimes cut off or override me. I always shoot for -6 -3 db on my recoding but I usually do it in post to get the levels up there do to the fact if I sit that close to my mic you can hear me breathing and everything else. I set the noise gate to -20db but its still seems to be really aggressive. I have noise gating checked but I am not sure what the difference is between LEVEL DETECTOR and Gain Processor are? Which attack and release is which?
I guess I am just looking for some settings to get started so that I can sit at my mic and talk normally and be heard but have it mute out most the background nose. My levels sit at -47Db where my mic is sitting so I would think it could just fire up when it hears my voice but I dont know what is going on maybe I have a setting borked.
Here are my settings.
Thanks for any help!

Well, a couple of things...
First off, noise gating is rarely--if ever--going to yield perfect results for the application you're suggesting. I'm not just talking Audition--I'm talking every hardware or software noise gate I've ever used. The change in ambience as the mic opens and closes, coupled with the inevitable clipping of the beginnings or ends of words makes it a not-very-good tool for voice recording. I tend to use it for things drum kits with multiple mics but rarely for voice.
If I was you, before looking for an electronic solution, I'd be seeing what gains you can get with a physical re-arrangement of your recording set up. Obviously, I don't know the details but things like adding a pop screen, moving the mic a bit farther from the desk, making sure the papers you shuffle are in the null of the mic, perhaps hanging something soft behind you to deaden reflections, etc. may pay bigger dividends than noise gating.
Having said all that, setting up a gate tends not to be something I do by numbers but, rather, adjust by ear and instinct. Perhaps if you could post a brief sample of an untreated voice, we could have a play. Alas, this forum doesn't support direct uploads of audio so you'll have to use one of the many services that allow you to post for downloading...things like Dropbox or Box.net.

Why do the recording settings in GarageBand 10.0.3 randomly change if I delete the track?

When I choose the "Narrator" setting to record voice only, and then decide to delete that track and record a different one - it randomly changes the setting from "Narrator" to "Bright Voice" or some other category. Sometimes the Narrator setting disappears altogether and is not even a choice. Also - sometimes there is no sound recorded on the tracks, even after it was just working fine and I did not change any settings. Other times, the mic is cutting in and out on the recording, making it unusable. I am using it on a MacBook Pro (late 2008 - 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3) with OS X Yosemite 10.10. Are there bugs in the software, or is my MacBook too old?

Mini DVR Records in .AVI and .MOV Format-white screen

I am a private investigator, and have used a mac for years. I purchased my new MacBook 2 weeks ago for the purpose of uploading the video to my mac, and burning the video to DVD for my clients.
I just purchased a JS208 Mini DVR and Mini Spy Button Cam. I.E. its a generic chinese product, but I was told that since it records in .AVI and .MOV format, I could either plug in the SV card (with the video from the mini DVR) or plug the USB cord into the computer and upload the video.
When I plug in the DVR, iPhoto recognizes that a .MOV is available. It downloads.
However, once downloaded, and opened on Quicktime, no sound and white screen.
When I click on Command I, This is what i see:
Source: /Users/sammythepug/Desktop/MPEG0002.MOV
Format: Apple MPEG4 Decompressor, 640 x 480, Millions
Microsoft ADPCM, Stereo, 12.000 kHz

Duration: 0:00:00:08.20
Normal Size: 640 x 480 pixels
Current Size: 640 x 480 pixels (Actual)
I spent an hour on the phone with Mac Support, and they told me to download MPEG StreamClip. I really don't know what I am doing at this point, because everyone told me it would be easy...HELP!!

Here are the DVR Specs:
Digital Screen: 1.5" TFT LCD
Recording Formats: AVI, ASF, MOV
Recording Resolution: 640x480, 480x240, 160x120 pixels
Frame Rate: 30 FPS
Built in Flash: 45MB

Mini Cam Specs:
Picup device: 1/3" color CMOS
System: PAL/NTSC/ EIA
Horizontal Definition: 420 TV Lines
Minimum Illumination: 3 Lux
Dimensions: 27x27x8mm
Power Supply DC 5V
I am also open to recommendations for other cameras that may work. The DVR has to be smaller than a pack of cigarettes, and has to be compatible with the mini button camera.
thanks
