[QUOTE="nick8571, post: 879455, member: 126449"] I have a completely baffling problem where recordings of a particular show are repeatedly stopping prematurely. The show is the UK news program "BBC Breakfast," broadcast daily from 6.00am to 9.15am on the BBC1 HD channel, and I receive it via Freesat from the Astra 1N satellite at 28E, using a TBS 6981 DVB-S2 card. I'm running MP 1.2.3 on Windows 7 x64, using the StreamedMP skin. The time at which the recording stops appears to happen more or less randomly - today for instance it stopped at 2:00:58 in, but it can stop at more or less any time, and once or twice the recording has even completed correctly. At the point of failure, MediaPortal *seems* to be continuing to record, and correctly shows the expected length of the recording as 3h 27 mins (including 3 and 10 mins pre & post record), but nothing is actually being written to disk from that point (several hundred GB free space BTW). There are no crashes, hangs or any other unusual behaviour. The weird thing is that the problem *only* happens with this one show, at least so far - all other recordings, including those from BBC1 HD recorded at different times are carried out without any problems. I've also recorded several other channels over the same three-hour time period, and again they complete without problems. For what it's worth, W7MC records the show correctly without any issues. I can't see anything obvious in TsWriter.log or tv.log - I've attached the relevant snippets from today (the recording started at 05:57, and stopped writing to disk 2:00:58 later, according to the length of the file as shown in Windows Explorer). I did wonder if "Heartbeat transmitter thread" in tv.log might be involved, but it doesn't seem to bear any relation to the time at which the recording stopped. If anyone can shed any light on this, it would be much appreciated - I'm not too bothered about this one particular show, but I'd like to know what's happening just in case the problem starts manifesting itself at other times. Many thanks in advance. :) [/QUOTE]
