Hi Guys,

It now happend a couple of times, when i schedule a recording the recording is not correct.
it happend with this and previous SVN 19376.

Once i had that 3 programs that where scheduled to start at the same time where intermixed, Although one programme was recorded oke, the two others where not because 1 one recorded twice , so i ended up having one of the recordings that was recorded having 1 file with his own correct name and and 1 file had the name of the other program whitch was eventually not recorded.
To say again i'am realy sorry to not have these logs at hand.

Because i see most of these recordings days to weeks later i never bothered to check any logs, only this time it's a recording of the same evening.

This time i recorded ''Bionic Woman" Only to find out that the .ts file is 0 Bytes and empty.

Because its the same evening of the recording i this time did look and save the logs, because its not really clear to me what had happend i thought i post them here, hoping a developer does know what's happening.

So it's "Bionic Woman" Recording started at 20:25 on Thursdays June 10th

It's This SVN, and i have Windows XP Media Center SP3, and 2 FloppyDTV with latest Firmware.

Keep up the incredibble work on MP.

Regards,
Richard

If this happend i can't start neighter livetv nor the epg. Instead an error message comes up saying "Timeshift konnte nicht gestarted werde" (Unable to start timeshifting).

The MySQL admin show a broken table (take a look at the first picture).
The second and the third picture shows how to fix this problem and get the tv back working.

I had this problem just a time ago, already. It was the same table effected. Sadly I don't know how to reproduce this. If you have any suggestions let me know about it.

Greets,

EDID:
I just noticed that i don't use the latest svn build. My version is mediaportal-svn-05-31-2008--14-18-Rev19228. So if this was already reported, or if there were changes in the "database code" sincen then, just delet my post

Thanks mate, this solved my problem! I've been searching for hours why I was getting the error 'unable to start timeshift - unknown error occured'. Dropping the tvlibrary database using mysql command line fixed the problem.

FYI, I am using TVE3 that is packaged with the RC1 installer (+ MySQL 5). Aside from the fact that I really consider displaying 'unknown error occured' as one of the most bad practices in software engineering, there was also no detailed error in the logs. I really considered going back to TVE2, but the download was cleverly removed from the download section -_- Fortunately it works again and the meaning of 'unknown error' is clear to me now. Maybe it happens when a transaction fails during hibernation?
