Blow up when trying to Record an item from the Search results

wtg · 2012-08-08, 06:54 PM

In the latest version distributed with 2.5.5 here's the error I receive after clicking an item in the Search results and clicking Record:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Is this happening all the time? Is it when you click the checkbox and then click on record on the results page? I am not able to reproduce.

I only tried it the one time. I was selecting the last item in the list though, as my search had yielded multiple show times for a movie and I chose to record the last one.

However, I just did my usual "Search for all HD movies during the next 2 weeks", where I search all the HD movie channels, pick the movies and want to record and hit the record button. Blew up again, but this time with a different error as shown below.

I don't know exactly how many movies I had selected, but probably 10 or more. After the blow up I went into the Pending recordings list and it appears most if not all are listed. There might have been some conflicts though, so perhaps this is the part that it had trouble with?
