concurrent recordings Failing

[Jase]

I tried today to record two shows which ran concurrnetly the first show recorded fine but the second one fails resulting in a 0KB file. It looks as if gbpvr is aware of this as it tries to restart the recording. I tried this with no pre padding and no post show padding but it made no difference.The recordings where recorded from the tv guide.

many Thanks Jase.

Strangely, I cant see any attempt to start two recordings at 9:30. It thinks there is only one recording to start, and it does so successfully.

12:45 seems the same.

[Jase]

I first set a recording to start at 9.30am to 9.50am then a second to start at 9.50am to 10.10am the second one resulted in a 0Kb file. I then tried again with one show starting at 12.30pm to 12.45pm then a second starting at 12.4pm to 1.00pm again the second one failed with a okb file.

Cheers Jase.

For future reference, 'concurrent' means at the same time. I was scouring your logs looking for two recordings set to start at 9:30AM, and two recordings set to start at 12:45... (expecting one on your compro, one on your PVR150)

For your problem with back to back recordings, I'd try the patch from post #7 in the 'v0.97.13 survival guide'.
