Prevent GBPVR from overwriting original mpg file after recording service is reset

[dazza139]

It would be great if there was a way that GBPVR would not overwrite an interrupted recording if the recording services requires resetting.

My problem is this - occasionally I will be recording a TV program on my PC but then have to reset the GBPVR recording service to enable my MVP to connect.

Whenever the recording service restarts it goes back to recording the tv program but instead of adding to the original mpg file it overwrites it thus losing any content recorded prior to the reset. Is there a way that GBPVR could preserve the original recording file perhaps recording with a new filename. Or better yet, is there a way that GBPVR could continue recording to the original MPG.

I thought the behaviour had changed some versions ago where it started putting -2, -3 etc at the end of the filename segments. OK it needs a little joining, but better than losing stuff.

yeah, mine behaves fine like this (although my reset is when I OK config.exe rather than anything mvp relaed). I think auto-joining is on the to-do list....

yeah, it should already do this.

Nope. In opinion, people should just stop restarting during recordings.

LOL - the number of times I've had to tell someone who says xyz causes this or that problem "well, don't do it then...."
