[mythtv-users] Suddenly 0byte recordings

[James Linder]

Over ages I’ve occasionally had 0 byte recordings, suddenly I’m getting a truckload.

I’ve a haupuge USB dual card. I replugged it - no change
During a zero byte recording I stop mythbackend then start it - normal recording

The log shows:
2015-03-03 18:37:00.812140 I [13786/13786] CoreContext scheduler.cpp:705 (UpdateRecStatus) - Updatin
g status for Mythbusters on cardid 1 (Tuning => Recorder Failed)
2015-03-03 18:37:00.925860 I [13786/13836] Scheduler scheduler.cpp:2140 (HandleReschedule) - Resched
ule requested for CHECK -9 7 0 UpdateRecStatus2 | Mythbusters |  | Can a ninja slap a bullet out of
the air? Can drivers who hold the steering wheel in the 10-2 position, have their thumbs ripped off
by an airbag? Can an RFID tag explode if placed inside an MRI? |

I would think ‘OK the dongle is broken’ except other channels *do* record and restarting backend ‘fixes’ the issue.
I’m using 
fixes/0.27 [v0.27.4-27-g40506c2]
which I’ve been using since it came out.

Can anyone suggest where I might look?

Nothing looks dreadfully amiss
