[QUOTE="JJDoherty, post: 1078323, member: 142679"] I have been investigating this further and I believe that I may have resolved the issue having taken into account what [USER=82144]@mm1352000[/USER] mentioned regarding what TV Server plugins are enabled. [I]StartRecordingNotification(recDetail)[/I] calls the following code: [code]_tvController.Fire(this, new TvServerEventArgs(TvServerEventType.StartRecording, new VirtualCard(user), (User)user, recDetail.Schedule, null));[/code] Subsequently [I]RecordingStartedNotification(recDetail)[/I] makes the following call: [code]_tvController.Fire(this, new TvServerEventArgs(TvServerEventType.RecordingStarted, new VirtualCard(user), (User)user, recDetail.Schedule, recDetail.Recording));[/code] It is this second call which appears to hang the scheduler thread. I inserted some breakpoints, recompiled and attached to the process to debug. I traced the [I]TvServerEventType.RecordingStarted[/I] parameter to two different locations, in ComSkipLauncher.cs file, [I]ComSkipLauncher_OnTvServerEvent[/I] method and in the PowerScheduler ControllerActiveStandbyHandler.cs file, [I]OnTvServerEvent[/I] method. It was on the [I]ComSkiLauncher_OnTvServerEvent[/I] that the code failed, when attempting to launch the ComSkip.exe program. I subsequently disabled the ComSkip plugin and low and behold the recording worked, stopping as expected. I was able to remove the issue and re-enabled ComSkip plugin when I installed the latest ComSkip donator version, 81_061. The conclusion I'm coming to is that the default ComSkip executable being installed by MP is not compatible with Windows 8.1. Can anyone else who is experiencing this issue please confirm? [/QUOTE]
