Argh! 0 Byte Recordings using Multi-Record!

***sub*** · 2009-01-10, 03:26 PM

Hopefully there will be a new GB-PVR release tomorrow. A 1.3.11 or similar. It'll include this patch and various patches that were made available post 1.3.7.

Excellent news, thanks Sub!

Sorry to bring up this old thread but I'm having this problem with 1.3.11. First time that Multi-record was set to record I got 0 byte files. Played with settings to disable multi-record, change recording type, nothing worked.

Two recordings went of without a hitch last night.

Logs are attached.

EDIT: OK, just for kicks I went and pulled the power on the HD Homerun to reset it. Restarted the recording service and now one of the shows is recording. Multi-record is turned off.

Seems like something locked up the HD Homerun...

EDIT2: Better Off Ted ended at 9 and American Idol and Lost began. I got about a second of American Idol then it "went back" to Better Off Ted and Lost (according to the status monitor) which are on the same channel. No American Idol recording though...

Do you have "dynamic tuner allocation" turned on for the HDHomeRun? If so, try disabling it.

Nope. Disabled from the get go.

Edit: Looks like it may have been on the HD Homerun side. They just released new firmware to solve a lock up issue. We'll see if it actually fixes it. I'll turn multi-record back on and wait Smile

Looks like the new firmware from Silicondust did it. Currently recording 3 shows on the HDHomerun and all files are growing as expected.

I do now thanks Sub...I think it is working right now I just need to sort out the stuttering on TV3 and C4 now.

Thanks

Great. I need to update as well, my HDHRs stopped responding the other day until I rebooted them.
