Recording lost after updating

[tony95]

I have several manual recordings set for M-F. Sometimes NPVR stops recording and when I l look at pending recordings there are none showing even though I have a schedule defined. As a workaround, in the past, I would open npvr, select a recording, hit update and then hit save without changing anything, this would solve the problem. Now when I try to update any existing manual recording, the title changes for 4-6 M-F (for example) to None and it drops off the Pending list. Maybe this is a bug in the new version I recently downloaded? It is very annoying if the update is broken, because setting up another manual recording is a pain, because there is no easy way to get to the channel I want to record, I have to scroll through the channels with the arrow key which takes a long time. Please help.

Did you read the "Technical support - READ BEFORE POSTING" sticky thread in this forum??

Are you not using an EPG, and set it to not do an EPG Update overnight? It reschedules all it's recurring recordings as part of this process.

I update the EPG every week or so. I have a few series recordings, most are manual daily news recordings

I update the EPG every week or so.

Try updating it more frequently then, to make sure it's getting a chance to reprocess the recording schedule.
