Hi

I set Mepo to record Twin Sisters: A World Apart on bbc4 at 22;55 on 03.03.15


It did not work. Can someone please figure this out by looking at the logs?

Very odd as it worked for several recordings over the weekend

    Hello

    Sorry, nobody will be able to help you with those log files. You've provided the MediaPortal [client/front-end] log files. We need the TV Server log files to debug recording failures.

    Regards,

    My mistake. I did a test recording this afternoon and for some perverse reason it worked. I will try and upload the retropsective log for last night's fail

    Thanks :)

    ...but I'm afraid I'm not seeing any evidence that such a schedule ever existed.

    Starting from the oldest logs, I see the first recording fail due to failure to successfully tune:
    [2015-03-03 00:57:02,544] [Log ] [scheduler thread] [INFO ] - Scheduler: Time to record BBC FOUR HD 00:57-02:25 Wallander

    Perhaps that's because you've only got BBC 4 HD mapped to one of your two DVB-T tuners, I don't know.

    Same result for the next schedule at 2:57:
    [2015-03-03 02:57:04,727] [Log ] [scheduler thread] [INFO ] - Scheduler: Time to record ITV HD 02:57-03:30 UEFA Champions League Weekly

    After that, best that I can tell is that the next scheduled recording is:
    [2015-03-03 02:57:16,500] [Log ] [PS StandbyWakeup] [DEBUG] - PS: Inspecting Scheduled Recordings: 07/03/2015 20:57:00

    So, like I say: I can't see any indication that TV Server was ever asked to record anything at 22:55 on 03/03.

    Actually, I missed a minor detail...

    You added a schedule for Deal or No Deal on the morning of the 3rd just before 9 AM:
    [2015-03-03 14:57:12,107] [Log ] [scheduler thread] [INFO ] - Scheduler: Time to record Channel 4 HD 14:57-16:00 Deal or No Deal

    That recording completes fine.

    Thanks for you help. The Deal or No Deal was the test recording and it worked. Maybe the lack of BBC Four is causing a problem. I selected the programme to record and the red icon appeared. I was so keen to record it that I checked and double checked.

    I will do another test on BBC4HD tonight and update you in the morning

    Ps: The Champions League did not record......what did I do wrong?

    As I said in my earlier post: it didn't record for the same reason as the Wallander recording.
    Tuning was successful insomuchas the tuner locked onto signal. However, video/audio was never received. Again, that ITV HD channel was only mapped to one tuner.

    Thanks again for the clarification. All my test recordings worked.

    I guess it has been resolved now- even though I used the same method

    Hi, it looks like the Client's server connection settings got corrupted somehow and were reset, hopefully this is an easy fix. Open MP2-Client, navigate to Settings->General->Connectivity->Home server. In the menu on the left there may be an option Detach from home server, if there is click it and acknowledge the dialog that pops up...

    maybe setting loglevel to debug might pinpoint the difference between normal and stuck? Preferable with as much disabled as possible also try to see if anything is happening during stuck for the mediaportal process(resource monitor, disk activity, cpu usage, anything) maybe other programs competing for resouces?
