I've noticed that SOME recordings never start after I've scheduled them. I can't say what this depends on as I have not been able to find a pattern to this. "Sometimes" I notice that the little "Recording"-icon isn't showing even though I know MP is supposed to be recording something.

When I then go in My TV and look under "Scheduled recordings" it will show the program I am trying to record as "Waiting" even though the show is currently running!

Like I said, this only happens sometimes, but it's to the point where I can no longer rely on MP to record my shows since this seems to happen way too often.

For some reason it seems that all recurring (series) shows I have set MP to record comes in just fine, it's only single recordings that doesn't start, but it looks to me like MP has discovered that I want to record since the show is under "scheduled", it just never starts!

Oh, and also, if I quit and restart MP during the time when the show is supposed to record, it starts immediately when it finishes loading!

Does anybody have similar experiences?

    Youd best off getting a log file from when this happens as it will give you the reason why (it will be trying to record but cant for some reason).

    I _think_ I've deduced that this happens only when I schedule recordings using the MP Web interface. This is still strange, since the recordings I schedule using the web interface still show up like they should under "scheduled recordings" but for some reason they never start!

    I tried scheduling a few shows using my remote (inside MP that is) and those started recording just fine, so maybe, just maybe, there's some sort of database update error between the web interface and MP?

    Sorry to tell you that, but currently the Webinterface is for sure the reason. The database structure in MP has changed and this f*cks MPW up again. Sorry, no time to fix this atm, but there'll be a whole new MPW soon (I hope so at least).

    Please be patient!

    Hi

    I have seen the same behaviour as MungoBBQ and I have never used webinterface. At least not that I know of. I use RC2 and CVS from 2006-02-05

    I am very patient. :)

    Although I don't quite understand since the scheduled shows do turn up under "scheduled recordings".

    Still investigating further...

    Ok, if you are interested in investigating it further please start the "SQLite Database Browser.exe" in the MP/docs dir. With that you can have a look at the TVDatabase (in the MP/database dir). Schedule one recording directly from MP and one from the webinterface. See how both entries differ. If there's no difference than you might need another starting point...

    I'm interested in your results!
