I set my mythtv system to record today's football game at 12:30. When I arrived home at 3, I tried to watch the game. I went to recorded shows, and saw that the game was being recorded (the status was green in MythCenter). The size, however, was 0.0 GB. Super. The game didn't record, but the status was "recording".<br>
<br>
To troubleshoot, I looked at my slave backend log. Here's what it reads:<br>

Why in the world would it show as "recording"? Why can't my MythTV system realize that there's no recording, and try again?<br>

It's still waiting for your capture device to send it some data. MythTV assumes that a configured capture card actually works--especially when that configured capture card fails to provide any errors that indicate it's not working. You should troubleshoot why your capture card isn't sending any video.<br>
<br>
FWIW, if you had watched it via Live TV, you would have arrived home at 3, turned on Live TV, and--been able to watch exactly as much as you were able to watch with a failed recording. If, however, your capture card had actually provided some data for the recording, the recording would have let you watch the 2 1/2 hours that had already happened before you got home.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It's a HDHomeRun that that seems to work fine otherwise. If I'd had an inkling that my recording wasn't going to work, I would have stayed home and watched the game live, "FWIW". As it is, I watched the game starting at the end of the third quarter.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So MythTV doesn't seem to recognize an error condition of no data? That seems... odd.</div></div></div>
