Recordings fail silently when drive not available.

I returned from a long vacation and noticed my NAS and it failed to restart after a power outage. Normally it is on a UPS but that is user error.

Anyway NextPVR recordings to that drive failed but there was no indication of the failure for rerecordings. The error code is zero and the there is no reason code showing. The only indication of an error in the logs is on that batch files

Code:

Since it seems like Windows is able to detect the invalid file so it would be nice if NextPVR "caught" this inititally.

Weird - I would have thought it would have reported this.

Do you think K: would have been missing when it tried to record? I'll have to try reproducing it here.

K: was certainly offline but it would have been online up to the power outage, not sure how Windows handles this. I powered up the NAS for other reasons so I cannot see what the backend was seeing.
