bobsmith Wrote:Actually, I emptied/updated the guide twice - and both times the pending recordings remained. So maybe pending recordings don't always get blown away with an EPG empty/update???Well, I did say "I think you may have to reschedule any pending recordings", as in "I'm not sure. I haven't had to use Empty EPG for quite a while, so I couldn't remember if it retained scheduled recordings or not.

Quote:Just one more question... if EPGExtra just happened to run when a recording was scheduled to start, do you think that could create a hiccup on a low-end PC like mine (specs in sig below)? I noticed that it ran from 6:58 - 7:11 PM yesterday, and one of the shows that had an error (Ghost Whisperer) started during that time-frame - but another (Grey's Anatomy) started an hour later. Does EPGExtra run at the same time every day? Is there a way to set a specific run time?EPGExtra just runs as an extra step on the tail of the GB-PVR EPG update process (assuming you're running EPGExtra from your UpdateEPG.bat file, which is the standard way to run it). Either GB-PVR's EPG processing or EPGExtra could cause database contention while executing since both need to update the database rows.
It's advisable to run the EPG update at a time when you won't be using GB-PVR (or recording with it). I have mine scheduled to run at 6am, for instance. The Capture Sources tab of the GB-PVR config app allows you to change the scheduled time for the automatic EPG update.
Maybe that will solve your recording problem.
