Sudden problem recording ...

[softfoot]

nPvr has been working flawlessly for a couple of months and now, jast last night, all recordings stop after the .ts file reaches a couple of megabytes.

I havent changed a thing, honest !!

Any ideas/suggestions ??

I have restarted the recording service and even rebooted the machine, and run a chkdisk to no effect.

Looking at the nPVR status it says it is recording --- but the filesize is not increasing and playing the file results in only a few seconds of video.

There is 138GB of free space on the drive.

TIA

As a first step you'd need to post the logs.

Unfortunately I can't see any obvious sign of problems in those logs.

Does the device continue to work fine in the software that came with it?

Wintv 7 (they are haupage cards) continues to record OK.

NRecord.log 1 File shows several recordings being marked as 'Recording service restarted during recording.'

[softfoot]

Yes, that was me restarting the recording service after the file stopped increasing in size.
Although newa shows the recordings as "active" they dont increase in size beyond a couple of MB.
Interestingly, the npvr icon shows light blue (ie not red) and the npvr status shows all devices as idle.

Are you using a diseqc switch?

[softfoot]

No diseqc .... goes straight into LNB
There is loads of space on both discs - and I can copy or download files around without problems.
WinTV7 records to file OK

OK - in desperation I uninstalled nPVR and deleted the config area in user>all....

Then I did a clean install of 3.1.1 (the last working version for me) but now the darn thing crashes (nPVR terminates) when doing a channel scan (I use theFREESAT ONLY entry)

It can crash at any point in the scan from the begining to well into the scan, but crash it does every time.

I tried installing the patches - but if anything it makes it worse :-(
