Recordings Problem

[Lindsay]

I look after a friend's GBPVR and he has reported that recordings aren't being stored. I have remotely accessed his system and found it said it was recording a program from a week ago! But there was no file in the recordings folder. I killed that and looked at his pendings. There are three there that have earlier dates (like a week ago!) and they won't cancel.

I guess it looks as if the database has got corrupted. Any advice as to what to do would be welcome.

Any pending recordings with an end date in the past will be automatically marked as 'failed' by the recording service when in checks the recording list. If its not doing that, you might need to zip and attach the recording service logs.

I'm not sure what caused the original problem, but the logs might give some clues.

Thanks, sub. Been out all day but have had a look now and found a failed recording of yesterday and no past dates in the pendings. Deleted the failed one OK and tried a recording which went fine. So seems as if it has fixed itself! Must be a bloody clever programmer behind this thing
