Recording file cant be found

[chris-at]

Is there anything else I can do to find the problem?

Given all the Access database errors you've got listed there. It might be worth running the ChangeDatabase utility to switch to using SQLite.

Given the error message, are you running any utilities which do stuff to the GB-PVR database? plugins etc?

[chris-at]

I've done a repair & compress on the DB - I'd rather not switch to SQL Lite. I'll do a few more recordings to see if the DB errors are gone.

The only plugins I've enabled are TV Guide, Recordings, Search Guide, Live TV, System and Exit.

It appears that the errors (mpg with 0 bytes and db) only happen if the PC has to come out of standby to do the recording.

I have three disks - GBPVR is on the system disk(1) and the recordings go to disk 3. I checked the event log but it doesn't list any errors.

Not sure if this is relevant but I noticed that it creates the directory for the mpg when recording starts but the empty mpg is only created when the recording ends.

Do you have an idea what it could be?

Sorry, no I dont.

[chris-at]

I am guessing that some part of the system isn't ready after the wakeup event to start recording (probably the Nova card).

Would it be possible to add an error message why BDARecorder wasn't able to start?

It would be great if you could also add an option (config.xml?) to wake the system a few seconds ahead of the recording event. That way it should be ready when recording starts ...

Thanks a lot for your help!

This is usually done by adjusting the prepadding.

It depends on how the error occurs. If some required component is missing, or returns an error code, or similiar, this will be reported in the logs. If the device returns that everything was successful, but just does nothing, then I have no way to tell.

I think you misunderstood.

I am having a problem that the recording does not start after the machine wakes from the suspended state -- so if GBPVR could wake the machine a few seconds ahead of time (before it starts recording) it might give the Nova card enough time to get to a ready state.
