[mythtv-users] zero byte recording

[Richard Morton]

Hi,

In live tv try both tuners using switch inputs.

One of your tuners has probably locked up. With a nova-t you need to do a
cold reboot (fully disconnect power to the system for 10 seconds) and
restart. Make sure you have a 250ms tuning delay on the cards in myth setup
/ capture cards. This will reduce the frequency of lockups.

Myth 0.23

In the last couple of days, I've had two recordings that have shown up as
size zero bytes in Mythweb, and "can't find file" when attempted to be
viewed. These recordings are of a program on each day at the same time.

I have a Hauppauge Nova-T 500 Dual DVB-T, both tuners configured and both
tuners set to record a maximum of two recordings at a time, hence Mythweb
shows four encoders. I've looked at upcoming recordings and I can see the
future broadcasts of the program in question set to record, but they are
always on Encoder 3 whereas all other currently scheduled recordings are on
Encoder 1. I can't see any difference in the setup of the two tuners, but
is there anything else I should be checking?

The backend log appears to show that the programs are being recorded:

Minutes?": channel 17960 on cardid 3, sourceid 1

Minutes?": channel 17960
2010-06-23 07:20:00.930 Reschedule requested for id 0.
2010-06-23 07:20:00.957 ProgramInfo(): Updated pathname '':'' ->
'17960_20100623065500.mpg'

Grateful for any suggestions to try to pin this down.

Thanks
Keith
