No New Recordings

[baj1]

Every so often GBPVR just stops making new recordings. There are no new recordings until I reboot the machine. I've been having this issue for a while now and just hadn't had time to look into. I had some time tonight, and thought I'd take a peak at the logs.

I found this in GBPVRRecordingService.exe.log.

By stopping and restaring the recording service, it seems to be working again. Any thoughts?

Try the attached file and let me know how you get on.

Cool, I will give it a try. I put the file in the GBPVR directory (where the old one was). I've got it fired up and running again, I'll let you know how it goes. Now I just need to train the wife to *not* reboot the computer for a while... ;-)

Thanks again,

I had to stop and restart the recording service tonight. We unplugged one of the MVPs and it wouldn't find the server after it was plugged back in, so I restarted the recording service and then the MVP did find the server. I checked the log files but only found one error, in pvrx2.exe-native-1.log:

Not sure if this is meaningful or not, but thought I'd post it just in case.

That specific error usually occurs when you're shutting down the app and can be safely ignored.
