[QUOTE="Owlsroost, post: 411968, member: 83973"] Hi Rob, Reviving an old thread, but I've just had exactly the same 'failed recording' problem with programs on BBC3.... It's because BBC3 is a time-shared channel that is off-air until 19:00 - in your logs MP starts the recording at 18:57 (when there is no video/audio being transmitted) - it looks like the filtergraph is built and the file created, but nothing is written into the file. It doesn't automatically recover when video/audio starts at 19:00 either.... My logs are attached - the failed recordings are "26-04-2009 18:53:05.207 Recorder: RECORD Start 'D:\TVserver\Formula 1_ The Bahrain Grand Prix\Formula 1_ The Bahrain Grand Prix - BBC THREE - 2009-04-26 - 19_00.ts'" and "25-04-2009 18:53:10.550 Recorder: RECORD Start 'D:\TVserver\Graham Hill_ Driven\Graham Hill_ Driven - BBC FOUR - 2009-04-25 - 19_00.ts'" Since pre & post time padding of scheduled recordings is normal in MP, this is a real problem - it means that recordings of the first show after a channel goes 'on-air' will always fail. I guess that the way to fix the problem is for TV-server to check that video/audio is actually being received, and if it isn't then re-try periodically for a while i.e. during the pre-show padding time. When the stream actually starts up it can then start the recording. Tony [/QUOTE]
