Failed recordings

[wodger]

Hi, I upgraded to 1.3.11 when it came out. I re-added padding to my scheduled recordings (had previously set padding to 0 minutes) but am still getting weird failures. Under 1.3.7 I had this problem which is why the set the padding to 0 and it helped a bit but now it seems to be a bit worse. Sorry, only anecdotal evidence here.

Coronation St at 7.30pm tonight just failed, but McLeods Daughters succeeded. Wondering if you could shed some light on why or what I could do? Logs attached.

Would it perhaps be beneficial to create a new recordings directory and/or reinstall the app and/or recreate all my schedules - i don't mind the idea of starting fresh if it would help.

> by failed, the recordings usually create a 0 byte file - when you play it, it flicks back to the pvr screen. i've also had some which just make the screen go blank when you play them, but not as often.

> I'm using freeview satellite only and have two tuners .. while I would like to see the problem fixed if it's possible (just for the good of the program ) should I just devote one tuner to one frequency and the other tuner to the other frequency (I think there are only two frequencies on freeview satellite in NZ)?

This is because you're using an HVR3000 and a Nova-S, which both use the same drivers, but you have both setup as device #1. One of these devices should be #1, the other is #2.

sub does the hvr4000 use the same drivers as the hvr3000 and nova-s also? (dvb-s)

From memory that combination would be both device #1, since the HVR-4000 uses a different filter name for its DVB-S filter.

Okay, I've set up one of them as #2. I presume that's in the capture sources tab in config. See how it goes. Thanks heaps!
