Zero length recordings

***sub*** · 2007-02-27, 12:01 AM

I think a DVR-MS file starts at 6KB, then jumps to 95MB when the first byte of data is received. It sounds like no data is being received.

Yes - fine. Time shift too.

I'll do a brief manual recording shortly.

Use the CyberLink mux and I get single file 0kb. Force the dvr-ms mux and I get 3 files of 5882 bytes. None of them increase at all.

here we are - a manual recording on BBC1 for 4 minutes. File = 0kb again.

To honest, I'm a bit distracted getting the new release ready - hopefully for release today, so I dont have time to look at this right now.

One should start at 95.5MB and the other two will be quite small (4KB and 1KB - possibly shown as 0KB for the latter depending on how you view it). The first should increase in 95.5MB increments periodically during the recording.

Or are you just finding the dvr-ms file on it's own after the recording should have finished and Windows reports it as 6KB? (Probably about 5500 bytes or there abouts).

I was seeing this issue with the HDHomeRun. Try setting SubmitTuningTwiceOnRecord to "true" in you config.xml

(I think that's the right name on the setting).

Problem solved by completely removing GB-PVR and reinstalling 99.12. No idea what was wrong though. Thanks anyway guys.
