Couldn't Stop Recording

[jcole998]

Late in Yesterday's NASCAR Race I elected to extend the recording time by 20 minutes by using the web app and clicking on the in-process NASCAR recording item on the Scheduler page. The dialog was produced and I entered in a new post-padding time of 20 minutes. When I clicked Save, the item disappeared from the Scheduler list and appeared no where else even thought the race continued to record. The DCR-3250 web page showed a tuner for the race as still active. I elected to stop recording about 10 minutes into the 20 minute extension, but found no way to do it from the web app. I needed to use the desktop app to do the cancel. The recording extended as expected and stopped 10 minutes after the scheduled end time.

Logs attached. Where did the web app recording item go?

I can readily duplicate the problem here. The clue to the bug is this line

2020-06-07 19:09:45.130 [DEBUG][10] Invalid file passed to StartPostCancel(): '[Default]'

When you update the settings on in-progress recording NextPVR is updating the database field in the scheduled_recording table to whatever you configure on the update screen and overwriting the existing real filename.

The real filename came back when I cancelled the recording.

Thanks, Martin, but the only thing I changed was post-padding. Where did Default come from? I didn't specify it and it just appears in the dialog. Does sub need to stop using Default as a file name?

On that dialog you can change the recording directory you didn't but the server didn't care.

So...each time I want to extend an in-progress recording, I won't be able to later cancel it with the web app? Does sub need to make a change?

[mvallevand]

Yes I am sure it can fixed pretty easily on the server.

OK, Martin, thanks.

This is fixed for the next build.
