why are some of my recordings failing

[mpooley]

I have only just got my gbpvr up and running and started to set up a few series links I have 2 tuners btw.

after the first night i had some programs that I never set up (which i deleted) and after the 2nd day I have a few programs listed as failed but others that are ok.

when i selected these links i was not notified of any clashes ?

can some one explain what might be causing this please?

Fraid not ... They show the period from 1610 to 1613 and not much happened ... I couldn't see any recording in the other logs either.

ok trying again.
?
Also I have more failed recordings now and one at least that show up as being ready but wont play

Did all the recordings in that log fail, or just specific ones? If specific ones, which ones?

Was the file a normal size on disk, or zero bytes?

[mpooley]

sorry didnt take a note of the failed ones i just deleted them . one of those that wouldn't play was NCIS.

I will wait to see what fails tomorrow and post the logs again - where do i check file size?

thanks

Its not shown in GB-PVR's UI. Just use the Windows File Explorer.

I'm having a similar problem, having just installed GB-PVR in Windows 7 to try to avoid Windows Media Center's .wtv files.
Everything seems to be set up correctly, and I can watch TV alright, it's just the recordings that don't work. I have an ASUS U3000 Mini USB TV tuner, and GB-PVR recognises that OK. However, when I try to record I just get files with nothing in them, like this.
'ACCORDING TO JIM_20100424_14301500.dvr-ms - Microsoft Recorded TV Show - Size: 5.74KB - Length: 00:00:00'
and another from the same recording, 'ACCORDING TO JIM_20100424_14301500-1 - Microsoft Recorded TV Show - Size: 197KB - Length: 00:00:01'.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
