>Hi,
>Now that I have live TV going on my MythTV system (0.25), I'm getting 0

>Here's an example:

>total 198M
>-rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 198M 2012-03-17 14:44 1003_20120317143604.mpg

>-rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 0 2012-03-17 14:36 1003_20120317143603.mpg

>I've searched about this issue, but previous tickets for this issue have

>What's bothering me about this 0 byte file issue is that it didn't happen

>Any help/input would be greatly appreciated.

At least as of 0.24, LiveTV has been making 0 byte files when a LiveTV start
(or a program change in LiveTV occurs). What's got me baffled is that in
0.24.x, the 0 byte files were deleted shortly (5 - 10 minutes) after the
program got going. That does not appear to be the case in 0.25. I am
hoping that someone can confirm that they are no longer deleted until the 24
hour (or whatever you have set) cleanup for Live TV.
