Recorded show zero byte file

[Zato]

Hey there,

I set GBPVR to record The Closer tonight. I even verified that it was recording (Show status).

After it was done, I tried to play the file. Nothing happens. So I look at the file in windows explorer. The file is 0 bytes. I thought well maybe it's buffered and hasn't written to disk, but 10 minutes later - nothing. I even tried to copy the file, the copy was 0 bytes as well. So I rebooted, and the same 0 byte file.

No errors or anything in the logs.

Anyone ever have this happen? I'd like to know what I did wrong so this won't happen again. The wife is really upset she missed her show .

Thanks!

Others have reported similar problems... do you have your computer set to hibernate? Some have speculated that the PVR150 doesn't re-initialize correctly after coming out of hibernation. Others say it happens after the system hasn't been rebooted for some amount of time, some updated the drivers, and some uninstalled/reinstalled GB-PVR. Sub hasn't isolated a specific issue in the logs... so far. Maybe post your log files (in devnz\gbpvr directory) gbpvr.exe.log and *maybe* GBPVR.exe-native.log to help isolate the issue.

Another possibility, and you've probably checked it, is what happened to me awhile back where I got too low on hard drive space where my recordings are stored so my recordings weren't taping and were showing up as 0 bytes.

yeah. i leave my htpc on standby all the time to cut down on my energy bill.

I find that i need to reboot the PC every week or so, else I find that I get recording failure or that GBPVR reports that recording is done, but the filesize is like 1meg or so.

A reboot will clear the problem.
