Zero Length Recordings

[imgodot]

After my old PC died taking my long-time GBPVR setup with it, I installed 1.2.13 on my Windows XP Home Edition SP 2 box.

I left most of the settings at their defaults except for the EPG. I've been trying to get a recording, but every recording leaves a zero-length MPG file although they're recorded in the database as good recordings.

I've tried it with and without comskip. I've tried a couple of different mux-es (not that I know what a mux actually DOES), all to no avail.

I looked at the recording log and saw nothing obvious, but I don't really know what to look for or if I should be looking elsewhere.

The attached file is the, "GBPVRRecordingService.exe-native.log".

Help Mr. Wizard! I simply can't go on without my GBPVR! Thanks.

That log looks fine, with no sign of any errors.

A mux isnt used for the analog cards, so you dont need to worry about that.

I'd check you can actually record in the WinTV app. Also worth checking if you can get a picture in the Tuning Assistant. These would at least confirm your card is working or not.

Sub,

Thanks for the reply. I believe I found the solution to the problem.

It's technical, but see if you can follow me....

The problem is that I am too stupid to use a toaster much less a computer!

When I moved my tuner card to my other PC, I forgot to attach the cable.

I know my wife and kids love me no matter what, but no one breathe a word of this. I'm not willing to risk it.

Thanks for the wonderful software Sub. I truly love it! Continued success to you.

We shall never speak of this again.
