auto epg update resulted in no pending recordings

Sub,

My EPG update last night resulted in no pending recordings at all. Everything else looks ok, it just found nothing to record after updating the EPG; the TV Guide was fully populated. I then forced an EPG update from Settings, and then all my pending recordings came back.

The possible bit of good news is that it did reload the recording schedule after the EPG update, which was the missing bit before, but it just had nothing to reload.

The NRECORD and NPVR logs are attached. The sequence is that the epg update went at 3:00am, and to me everything looks ok. It then reloaded the recording schedule at 3:01:17:

Code:

2010-08-07 03:01:17.030    [DEBUG][6]    Reloading recording schedule
2010-08-07 03:01:17.032    [DEBUG][6]    Requesting wake up for 'RecordingOID3651' at 8/7/2010 2:58 AM

But the only recording left in the schedule now is the one that's already in progress... the rest are gone.

Then this morning at 9:34am when I looked at it I decided to try my old trick of deleteing a recording to 'kick' the recording service and force a reload. It dutifully did reload the schedule again, but now there's nothing at all to reload.

So then I ran the EPG update from Settings at 9:39am, and now it finally repopulated the pending recordings and properly reloaded the recording schedule.

This is odd, that problem seems to have gone away. I went away for a night and day, and came home expecting to find the pending recordings all erased again after last night's auto EPG update. Instead I find everything is A-OK. The pending recordings are all scheduled as expected, all the recordings for today went as scheduled, and none are marked "Failed - Recording Service not running...".

Perhaps me forcing the EPG update once corrected something so that it will work fine from now on?

Either way, unless something changes then for me the EPG issues are fixed.

Odd. I'm not really sure what would have caused that.

When I read your post this morning I tried forcing an auto epg update, but my recordings seemed to still be listed ok.

I've had this problem again intermittantly; this morning I found the Pending Recordings empty again, yet the TV Guide was populated. The auto-epg update at 3:00am looks ok, but when it reloads the recording schedule there's nothing there (NRecord.log.1). I tried twice to update the EPG from Settings, but both times got the same result: it goes through the motions but schedules no recordings (NPVR.log.1).

Finally, I restarted the recording service and updated again from Settings, this time it worked (NPVR.log and NRecord.log).

Any thoughts?
