I've now twice encountered a situation, where a scheduled recording has just kept going and going. Today I was wondering, why my HTPC was on, and I noticed a 30 minute program which was shown yesterday was still being recorded, and now the recording was already more than 16 hours long!

When I manually stopped the recording, the recorded show was discarded altogether, but the red light on the left upper corner remained.

This is something which I have not experienced before RC4.

The show was Emmerdale, and it began on Friday 12.12. at 18:00 on MTV3. Hopefully the logs are of use.

I saw the same when I activated the pre-loading feature for one of my TV cards (at least I think that was the reason).

Where can I disable pre-loading?

 

[Seidelin]

It is in TV-Server config somewhere around the config of the TV-cards themselves. But since you have to ask, that is probably not your issue (disabled by default).
