If its that then there is not that much we can do on MP side. |
Yes, that's probably it. I tried to open the file in Windows Media Player 11 and PowerDVD 8 while still recording and the error message in both programs were similar to this:
"The file is already in use. Close other programs that might be using the file or stop playing the file, and then try again."
I then did a copy of the file being recorded and tried to open it in the same two programs and that did work so yes the cause must be as you said.
But that's okay for me I can use ts format instead, and as SciDoctor said it offers more within the broadcast. I'm just trying all possibilites here to find the best working solution for me.
EDIT: just a quick question in the thread I was refering to in my first post user sogge(currently the last post) said that this wasn't an issue in version 0.2.3 without the server. Could this be that back then it was the same process writing to the file andalso displaying it so then it worked?
Thanks for helping (and developing a great software)!
