1.2.9 recordings not available if viewed while recording

[Uisge]

I have a new problem that is driving me nuts.

I often go into pending records and hit play to watch the show as it is recording. Now for some reason when I do that the the recording isn't available in the Ready/New menus. The mpgs are there and if I move them over to the video library they will play just fine but they aren't available via the recordings menu.

This is not a sometimes happens thing, it is always happening for me.

If I leave everything alone and let the show finish recording before trying to watch it then the show will show up in the ready/new menus. If I view it while it is recording they will not.

I cleaned and collected logs but unfortunately left the logging level to error. Attached are those logs.

I'll increase the logging levels, repro again, and post new logs.

Any ideas?

Set the logging level back to the default 'debug' level, and reproduce the error and repost the logs.

Here are the logs set to debug.

Two records. SPorts reply I watched while it was recording and it did not show up in the ready/new. The file is howeber there on disk.

Family guy I just left alone and all is well.

It looks like it is something in your postprocessing.bat file that is causing it to not show up in the ready/new section. Try temporarily deleting postprocessing.bat, then do a recording to confirm.

Yep, getting rid of the postprocessing.bat file fixed the problem.

Until recently I never used a postprocessing file but a couple weeks ago I started using UltraXMLTV and used the sample postprocessing. bat file from there to run

C:\EPG\UltraXMLTV_Enhancer\UltraXMLTV_Renamer.exe %1

Thats it.

So I guess since I was watching the file when the actual recording process ended the renamer would run but the MPG file was locked (since I was watching it) and couldn't be renamed.

Looks like the UltraXMLTV_Renamer.exe needs some logic to first check to see if it can successfully rename the file before before it updates the database.

Thanks!

Yep, that sounds like the cause alright.
