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. :D

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,

Jaques-Ludwig

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.

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
