<div>I caught it happening this morning. I browsed to the
tuner on the LAN and manually forced a "re-tune" (for lack
of a better term) and when I went back to Myth, the
recording was capturing data.<br>
<br>
If you're familiar with the web interface for the Ceton,
what I did was go to the tuner (#1) that was supposed to be
doing the recording, clicked on the "tune" button, selected
the first choice in the "program" list, clicked on the "set
program" button, clicked on the set channel button, then
near the bottom of the form I changed the state from stopped
to started.<br>
<br>
</div>
This makes me think that the tuning operation failed in some
fashion when Myth attempted it, although enough of the
settings were correct that I could get it to start manually
(especially that the destination ip, port, and protocol were
set correctly). I will look into seeing if there's a way to
make the tuning command(s) go out a second time, perhaps with
a few seconds delay between tuning attempts. IIRC, the tuning
for the Ceton tuners isn't done by calling a support program,
so I may not have any means to do this.<br>
<br>
</div>
Since the Ceton box is on all the time (in other words it hasn't
just powered up when this problem occurs), any thoughts on why
the tuning failed this time and why tuning failures seem to
happen only for the first program after the Myth backend wakes
up for scheduled recordings and even then not every instance
fails?<br>

Hi Craig<br>
<br>
Do you restart your Ceton occasionally? I have a Ceton eth 6 with
cable card. There is a memory leak in the firmware and there may be
other bugs, so I reboot it once a week. I have a script that does
this. I also have a cooling fan underneath it as it gets rather hot.
I have never had a failed recording in several years that I have had
it.<br>
<br>
If you need more info about the reboot script or the cooling fan let
me know.<font color="#888888"><br>
