[QUOTE="threnode, post: 1099894, member: 149905"] I'd be grateful if I could have some help, please, finding out why my Media Portal installation stopped recording TV for 3 days (until I rebooted my Media PC last night.) When troubleshooting this problem, I couldn't stop the TV service or kill it until I rebooted the PC. The recordings were scheduled, but nothing recorded. The TV recordings folder has over 300GB free, and is writable. I've attached all present Media Portal logs. I'm from the UK, and I'm recording both HD and SD Freeview. Media Portal version is 1.7.1 (ie with hotfix.) [I've stuck with 1.7.1 because I want to have stable compatibility with the most recent Hauppauge HD PVR2 patch for Media Portal.] The last TV recording prior to this problem was 'Diagnosis Murder' on Thursday 11th September at 18:10. Friday is a quiet TV day for me, but there should have been numerous shows recorded on Saturday 13th September (eg. Doctor Who, X Factor, Xtra Factor and Match of the Day.) My TV service was running at the time of the non-recordings, although I have set the TV service to restart (via services.msc) after 1 minute should it stop unexpectedly. Live TV was working fine, but neither scheduled nor manual TV recordings produced any recorded files or xml documents in the TV recordings folder for a 3 day period. I'm using TV Wish List to schedule my recordings, using keywords. TV Wish List is scheduled to check daily for TV content and update my scheduled recordings. My HTPC: I installed Windows 8.1 64 bit on my Media PC on 24th August this year, specifically for Media Portal. I have 8GB RAM, 4GB of which is a software RAM drive for TV timeshifting. Media Portal TV client and server is set up on this PC. I've gone through the TVService and TSWriter logs, but beyond looking at the Scheduler entries, I'm not sure which log entries are relevant to this issue. I haven't spotted anything helpful in the PC Event logs. The PC did sleep at 21:11 on Saturday night, but I've amended my power settings to stop that happening again. I haven't rescanned my Freeview channels since the Freeview channel lineup changed on 3rd September. Could that somehow be related to this issue? I'm going to rescan my channels now. Many thanks in advance for your help. [/QUOTE]
