When I set a recording from DigiGuide, DigiTV always starts recording maximised. I've changed a few settings but nothing changed. Is this normal?

No - it is not normal.

First - DABDig usually does not try to run DigiTV at all when requesting recording - because it is already running.

Quick check - are you choosing "Record with DABDig" .. or "Listen with DABDig" (Listen also means Watch).

If you choose Listen ... then it assumes that you want to hear/see it live ... so does run it maximised.

Please post the DigiTV part of your dabdig.ini in here - along with an example from dabdig.txt (won't say much in there).

Are you using DigiTV or DigiTV-HD?

Try setting RestartOnRecord to 2

Do you force DigiTV to exit or leave it running (minimised)?

Reason - DABDig should only run DigiTV for a recording if it is not already running ... and usually once it starts running then it stays running for ever.

DABDig creator

Thanks Paul, will try that setting. DigiTV is always minimised in the system tray.

Odd.

Are you perhaps running a renamed version of the DigiTV executable?

DABDig creator

Not renamed by me. I did a fresh install a few days ago!

Just added "RestartOnRecord to 2" and it appears to have worked although I did get two DigiTV icons in the system try, 1 normal and 1 record icon, until I ran my mouse over them then the normal icon went.

Is your DigiTV started automatically when you login to Windows?

If it is - what does the Properties show for DigiTV executable in the Windows Startup group?

I would expect something like ...

c:\program files\nebula\digitv-hd.exe

DABDig creator

"C:\Program Files\Nebula\DigiTV\DigiTV-HD.exe" SLEEP

OK - that looks entirely normal.

I don't really understand why DABDig is trying to run it again.

But it looks like it isn't causing extra harm.

If you find that it is causing a problem then setting RestartOnRecord to 0 will mean that DABDig won't even try to run it.
