Hello,

Yesterday i wanted to record something from my tv signal. I decided to check it out first if it worked since i dont really use it YET but i want it to work ofcourse.
What happens is the following:
When i schedule a recording...the program itself turns red in the EPG....so far so good. When the recording starts i see it in my recording folder....but after a few seconds its gone...then after a afew seconds its back again.....and poof its gone...this goes on and on.
Also i notice in my skin that the recording dot is there but it also goes away and returns....just like the recording file itself.
When i do a manual recording the same happens....."Record Now" goes from "Stop Record" to "Record Now" again

Does anyone have a clue what is going on? I have to say that watching tv works fine....its just a recording problem

I have posted my logs.
If you need more logs pls let me know....also the names of the logs i need to post.

Thanks in advance

    I think I got the issue.

    Because my EPG uses Hebrew, somehow MP cannot create the files. If I change the recorded file name (in the TV server configuration) to a non-hebrew letters name, recording works fine.

    I am using WIN7-32bit. When I used XP (on this same machine) with 1.0.2, I didn't have this problem.

    How can I fix this (I want to be able to record with the channel and title in the name)?

    Regards, Shai.

    Has this problem been fixed? I too have this problem. I am using 1.0.2 version of MP. I was using this version for quite sometime now. The problem started occuring only for the last one month.

    If upgrading to another version is the only solution can someone please let me know the procedure to backup the settings so that I do not have to go through the process of teaching IRSS plugin the STB codes and channel mapping again.
