Computer waking but not recording

[tallpilot]

One of the TV shows that I have recorded for years has stopped recording successfully. I currently am only recording 2 shows, 1 on Monday (Bull), and another (Modern Family) on Wednesday.

On Monday, the computer wakes, and the show (Bull) records without issue. On Wednesday, the computer wakes at the proper time, but I can't tell that anything happens after that. I have a script that verifies the the NRecord service is running. The logs indicate that the computer wakes up, but then never records Modern Family. This has happened for every instance of Modern Family this season; the wake timers are set, the computer wakes up, but then nothing happens. Other shows appear to record without issue, even on the same channel.

Thanks in advance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm guessing whatever you've got putting your machine to sleep is doing it a bit to quickly, and it hasn't actually had a chance to start the recording yet. ie, it's waking, but going back to sleep before the recording is started.

I'd check the hidden setting for unattended sleep in Windows. It may be set too long (or at the default) for the extra long WakeUpPreRecordingsSeconds value that you have set in config.xml.

Thanks guys... I bet that's it. I had the wakeupprerecordedseconds set to 240 with my old/slow computer. My new one is much faster, and the hidden unattended sleep was 2 minutes. Haven't tested it yet, but sounds like that's the problem.
