[QUOTE="marmite, post: 146407, member: 48853"] I tried reproducing this a couple of days, by scheduling back to back recordings with 'every day on this channel' and 'Mon-Fri' (I'm not sure which I did the first time I saw this problem) but I was unable to reproduce it. But it had occured multiple times before I reported.. so I was still on the look out for it. Then I thought of something which might explain ( I mentioned at end of previous post) >"I have my DVB-T card in settings 'This card can decode' set to 3." It occured to me, that this was probably not supposed to be set like this. I had thought that you needed to set this to tell TVEngine that it could record multiple shows of the same MUX. But.. I'd revereted it back to 1 now and I see that it quite happily record of the same MUX anyway.... I also hoped this was at the root of the problem here, but alas I've encounted it again, I've attached the tail of my TsWriter.log Scenario is similar but not same, I have back to back recording again, but I also had another recording overlapping on a different channel but same MUX. Summary: Prog1: Channel = BBC1, Prog = BBC London News, EPG time = 13:28->13:40 Prog2: Channel = News24, Prog = BBC News, EPG time = 13:00->14:00 Prog3: Channel= BBC1, Prog = Neighbours, EPG time = 13:40->14:05 What actually happened: (computer turned on @ 13:36) Prog1: started record @ 13:36:44 Prog2: started record @ 13:36:46 Prog3: started record @ 13:38:10 ... as expected ... Prog1: stopped @ 13:45:11 Prog2: stopped @ 14:05:10 Prog3: stopped @ 14:10:01 ..again all as expected.... *However* - Prog2's & Prog3's .ts files stop @13:45 also I'm judging this by 2 facts; a) The play length as seen by e.g. vlc/MPC indicates Prog2=9m12s and Prog3=7m49s b) Prog2 has clock on screen in movie which and last visible frame indicates 13:45 Interestingly the timestamps on Prog2 and Prog3 are 14:05 and 14:10 respectively, i.e. so the 'Stop' messages did at least touch these files even if they weren't being written to anymore. Not sure what else I can add... other than HELP! ;) If anyone can share similar experiences, point me at some other thread to read, give me any pointers of ways to investigate futher etc. etc. etc - I'd be most grateful..
