Live TV Plays fine, but recordings all show 0 bytes?

[jdconnel]

I can play live TV fine.
The TV guide it up to date
But when I record, the directory is created, and the file just sits at 0 bytes.

I recently rebuilt my system, and have just reconfigured / copied my setup from the old one.

I have attached my logs.

Thanks,
Jamie

Have you checked to be sure your firewall has exceptions for PvrX2.exe, Config.exe and GBPVRRecordingService.exe?

I'm sure Paul is correct. Everytime we see these symptoms listed, its an HDHomeRun user, and it's been fixed with getting the firewall configured correctly.

If you have both tuners configured for your HDHomeRun, make sure both of them are working correctly.

When you view Live TV, the tuner priority is from the bottom up. So the last tuner in your list will be used. When you record a show, the tuner priority is from the top to bottom, so the first tuner is used. This was my issue a couple nights ago, my first tuner in the list wasn't configured correctly, but the 2nd one was so Live TV worked fine and recordings didn't.

If you have both tuners configured for your HDHomeRun, make sure both of them are working correctly.

A quick way to test this is to try recording two channels at the same time. If they are both 0 length, then it'll be a firewall issue.
