[mythtv-users] truncated recordings - More info

[MythTV]

Well I am still having this issue.  as a test yesterday (I recorded over 50
gig of shows.  All worked fine except within MythTV I selected record only
this recording. every single one I set this way worked. (recorded abut 8
shows this way) no problems.  Now the funny part.  I have 2 shows that
record at 9am and 10 am (record this program in this time slot everyday) and
they failed, 1st one only recorded 13 meg, the second did not even start,
backend was fubar'ed

For tomorrows Test I am going to remove both recordings and set them to only
record this showing and see if it works/fails.  I thought I had this beat
when I recorded 50 gig yestyerday (all back to back to back shows)

Will keep the list informed.


Jim
