So from what I can gather, the error codes are due to the windows 7 HTPC losing access to the SMB share from the Server. How long would it take for MP to freeze if it can't find the file growing? Could the converse had happened and that the TVserver had stopped writing the timeshift buffer for some reason, altough the logs from the TVserver simply show it continuining on as normal with no stop event until the client issues the stop event.

I've got two other options to play with later regarding the timeout length for UNC connections and also mapping as a 'local drive'. Either way this is interesting as Server 2012 Essentials doesn't appear to suffer from this but Server 2012 (R1 or R2) does, and that includes R2 running the esentials role.

I'm going to test Argus Recorder as I know that has a lot more buffering, sync logic than TSwriter and see if it is the TVEngine causing the trouble...

I don't know why, when setup similar to Essentials with the BDA drivers from Windows 8.1, would it act differently to essentials.

Again I'm just sounding off you as I know my particular setup is not supported and nor do I ask it to be, but I'm interested in helping improve the MP experience by running out of spec stuff (virtualised OS's on modern hardware etc etc.).

@[USER=54957]DJBlu[/USER] you didn't make any other modifications to TSwriter apart from to support the custom data grabber? Nothing that should affect the way the timeshift files should grow?

The more I type, the more I think it it a network connectivity issue when running connected to a domain...
