nPVR cannot record or delete files...disk access problem?

:delay
sleep 60
goto check

"sleep" is not an a standard internal command or program, what does it do and where would I find it?

It's been a few years, but I think I downloaded it from Microsoft. I think it was part of a toolkit for Server 2003. :-O Perhaps I'll update my script to use timeout now. Thanks Graham!

"sleep" is in the windows 2003 resource kit, here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...laylang=en, but it's better now to just use timeout.

Well, my problem of being unable to delete files or record shows has returned twice...once it was short lived, so I did not get new logs after rebooting. However, tonight it happened again and rebooting did not help. As such, I took the opportunity to zip logs after attempting to delete a show. If you want me to delete old logs and create a fresh one or some other thing to make this easier to look at, please let me know. I'm hoping you can see something that might give us a clue what the issue is.

Have you considered updating TV Listings? Your version isn't compatible with NextPVR.

Did not realize that. I assume that is not the problem as it is not just a recording problem...I cannot delete shows that have already recorded. That said, I will look into updating the plugin.

Interestingly, I went to disable the TV Listings plugin as I really don't use it, but I cannot do that...I get an error similar to the one I get when I try to delete a show. I suspect this means nPVR is not able to write to the settings database much like it appears to not have access to other files to record or delete shows. Anyone have any guesses why this would happen?
