Recordings suddenly stopped working

[wscrivens]

Some, but not all, of my scheduled recordings stopped working two days ago. As far as I can tell from the TV Guide and the Pending Recordings screens, they are set up correctly. According to the log (attached) I am getting:

Error starting recording: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Length cannot be less than zero.

I have no idea how to troubleshoot this any further and would welcome any help you can give me. Thanks

Set the logging level back to Debug then reproduce the problem and repost the logs and I'll take a look.

[wscrivens]

Thanks, Sub.
Here's the log file.
the program at 2008-07-17 21:58:00 recorded properly, but the one at 2008-07-18 17:58:00 failed.

Thanks for your help!

Can you also post the GBPVRRecordingService.exe-native.log?

[wscrivens]

Here it is :-)

HMMM...
I just looked at that file, and it looks like it was trying to record using the HVR 1600 (QAM). I have the capture sources set up (in order) as
PVR 150
HVR 1600 Analog
HVR 1600 Didgtal

But I haven't been able to make the digital side work except with the Hauppauge software, and then it's morginal so I don't use it. Maybe I need to delete it as a source?

It is trying to use the digital side of the HVR1600, and you dont have it configured for correct channels. You either need to complete that configuration, or remove that capture source.

[wscrivens]

Thanks, I will remove it for now.
Oddly, the configuration hasn't changed in many months, except that I switched from the zap2it screen scraper to the Microsoft one about 3 weeks ago, and back again after about a week. That's when the trouble began; I must have messed up the channel configuration somehow.

Thank you for the help, and the amazingly quick response :-D
