Every now and then I have discovered that MediaPortal has recorded a scheduled program, but playing back the program isn't possible. When I choose the program in the recorded programs window, nothing happens. Included is a log file from a session where I tried to playback two programs, both of which failed. Hope it helps.

I have seen this behaviour happening also with earlier 1.0 RC1 SVNs, but I don't recall it happening before RC1 status.

Have you tried to play those files with VLC?

I checked out the recorded programs folder and it contained only XML files for those recordings, but no .ts files.

In this case I had scheduled two consecutive programs, and when I think of it, this might have been the case also for earlies cases when the recordings have failed.

That means the bug/issue is on engine side.

Try increasing the CAM limit found in the tv server settings.
