Argh! 0 Byte Recordings using Multi-Record!

[ceandra]

PS, the recording service was "free" this morning, not locked.

Thanks for trying, but the patch didn't seem to work. Coronation Street (TV1) 7:25-8:35 OK, CSI:Miami (TV3) 8:25-9:35 failed (0 byte file). I've enclosed the relevent logs.

Ok, i'll need to have another go at fixing it. I know what is happening, but its complex to correct the logic, and must not have got it quite right with that last patch.

i was getting 0kb recordings so only enabled tvnz on one tuner and tv3 another
but live tv doesnt work now if i select say tv2 when its already recording tv1 it says no tuners available im guessing its a similar problem

Any news on this? I just enabled the muli-record and got two zero byte recordings also. Have switched back to single-recording for now

Thanks

To be honest, I havnt looked into it since. I got busy with my day job stuff. I know what the cause is though.

Thanks Sub, no worries, I'm quite happy sticking with the 'one at a time' recording

I to am having problems similar to these.
Am using 1.3.7 with all recent patches inc the one above. Boxing Day set machine to record:
Come Dine With Me 26/12/2008 15:35 (Ch4)
Deal or No Deal Christmas Star 26/12/2008 16:50 (Ch4)
The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion... 26/12/2008 17:50 (BBC1)

I came back at 19:10 to find the first program had recorded 4 mins, the second was a 0 byte file and that the computer had stopped responding, needing a reboot, and had not done anything on the third (Most angry wife to deal with!!)
Since installing 1.3.7 I have been able to record when whatching other channels or time shifting but when computer wakes to record or PVRX2 is not running have mainly had failures.
I have attached relevent logs and sys events

If you machine had locked up, it sounds like you've having more happening than just GB-PVR problems - most likely some driver or hardware problems or similar.

I've also got this problem using 1.3.7 and Transport Streams (no patches applied). It works fine most of the time, in fact it only ever seems to have an issue recording the same program for me ("The IT Crowd") ?

I'm leaving it using TS because multi record is big positive for me and it seems to work 90% of the time. The programs its misses I just download anyway

Big thanks to Sub for implementing this features and lets hope he fixes this little niggle soon.
