recording says Failed, can't de;ete it

How do I delete a recording that says Failed? I select Delete but it doesn't get deleted.

Try to delete it, then zip and attach the logs and I'll take a look.

The delete seemed to be failing because its complaining about the path. I cant tell the path from this log, but can you try deleting it from the built in Recordings screen rather than xrecord? This may give more details - might even work, indicating xrecord bug.

The logs I attached was me trying to delete the recording from GB-PVR's built in recording and not XRecord.

I assume this data is stored in GBPVR.DB3. How can I manually fix this problem?

You could use something like SQLiteSpy to check the RECORDING_SCHEDULE table to see what the path is (for interests sake), and delete the offending record.

There isn't a recording for offending show. There's only a Reoccurring recording. There are a few other strange entries where programme_oid is blank, and one where filename is blank. The manual_start_time on the item where filename is blank matches the start time of the offending show.

I filled in the blank filename with f:\deleteme.mpg, copied a small file to that filename, and I was able to delete it from within GB-PVR. Ran SQLite Spy, the entry that had blank filename was gone.

Looks like you have a bug

This is what you'd normally see for a 'manual recording'.

Ok, just tell me how to reproduce it and I'll fix it

I have no idea how it happened. All I know is that night I had both tuners busy recording, and I exited GB-PVR and rebooted so I could run a quick defrag. Maybe some interaction between recording service and Windows shutting down? An easier way to handle it is to have a tool that deletes any entries from RECORDING_SCHEDULE where filename is empty.

Given I've not seen any other reports of it, its probably not worth doing anything.
