Randomly doesn't record (1 Viewer)

[Guy Incognito]

G'day,
After a little help with my MP setup. I have a few issues, but for this thread, MP will randomly stop recording and won't record again until I restart my computer. No matter if a recording is scheduled or I try to record immediately it just won't record anything. Logs attached, thanks.

Hello again Guy

All your TV Server log files are full of the following 2 lines repeated over and over again:
[2015-10-26 05:14:26,095] [Log ] [scheduler thread] [DEBUG] - DeleteRecordingOnDisk: 'C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\recordings\The Batman\The Batman - SE -.ts'
[2015-10-26 05:14:26,097] [Log ] [scheduler thread] [INFO ] - diskmanagement: Delete episode TvDatabase.Channel The Batman Tuesday, 1 September 2015 9:53:07 AM

I'd have to assume that is the reason why TV Server is currently not recording.

Does that file (C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\recordings\The Batman\The Batman - SE -.ts) exist on your HDD? ...or did you move or delete it?

Thanks for all your help mm. There is no folder 'recordings' in the MediaPortal TV Server folder. Why would it be looking there for a recording?

 

[mm1352000]

There is no folder 'recordings' in the MediaPortal TV Server folder.

Are you sure you're looking in the right place? It is ProgramData not Program files. Normally Windows hides the ProgramData folder. You can copy + paste the path into the address bar in Windows Explorer in order to find it...

 

[Guy Incognito]

Yes, very sure. Double-checked, definitely looking under ProgramData not Program files.

 

[mm1352000]

Okay. Please try creating the "recordings" folder within C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server, then reboot the PC. I can't be sure that will stop the problem for good, because like I said there was nothing in your log files except those messages. However, if the problem reoccurs then I'll be happy to examine fresh log files.

 

[Guy Incognito]

I've already rebooted and it works again, as it always does. But I'll create the folder and hopefully it's stop randomly failing to record. Cheers.

This is the same issue what @morpheus_xx is resolved in MP2 + TVE. Can we apply to MP1 too?

I'm not sure, but I possibly have a related problem. (No logs)
It seems there is an entry in "Recorded TV" from time to time where the file is missing. (Once every 2 weeks?)
Obviously, it won't play. It also can't be deleted. I have to use the Database tab inside Recordings of TV server.

I haven't thought too much about it, but the next time I'll try to pin it down better. But usually I don't discover it happened for some days after the fact. I haven't been fiddling with the system lately.

I only bring this up to let mm1352000 know something peculiar may be happening. MP1.12, Windows 10.
