recording directory created - no files.

[wannabepvr]

My system has been stable and working happily since upgrading to 1.16 - but in the last week I have had a few recordings fail where the directory has been created, but not files are there - not even the temp DVR-MS "buffer" files.

The log says: "ERROR Failed to find BDA tuner filter:"

Any ideas why this would work one day but not the next?

I'd guess either you've installed a new version of the drivers and they've changed the name of the filters, or there is something buggy about the drivers that stops them functioning.

I'm innocent - I've not changed anything.

I'll check the registration of the drivers and probably update them anyway.

While we may never know (or care) why at least we know what is responsible.
I like Zheds sig. " I used to ask why - now I just reinstall"

Thanks for the help.
