The TV-server used to record my shows, but it stopped doing so. I've scheduled recordings for several days and it will not record them. What is wrong here? Thanks in advance.

Here are the log files. It didn't record any shows from January 27th to February 4th. Oddly enough, it recorded a show yesterday (the 5th) and today. I'll schedule a few more recordings tomorrow and see what happens.[DOUBLEPOST=1360205300][/DOUBLEPOST]Here are tho log files. They didn't upload the first time.

Both of the shows I scheduled for today did not record. I uploaded the new log files.

    what shows, dates, times did you expect to record?

    also, since you are in the US and it looks like you use ATSC, why do you have EPG grabbing enabled?

    I had Martha Speaks scheduled to record at 1:00 PM on both February 7 and 8. I also have Wild Kratts set to record at 2:30 PM on February 7 and 8. None of today's scheduled recordings worked. I have EPG grabbing enabled so I can have EPG info. Is there a way to use EPG info from the ATSC signal instead of using online sources? I assumed that it wasn't possible because the EPG didn't show any info until I set up online EPG grabbing. Thanks for your help so far, :)

    From technical point of view, the scheduler thread is not working - scheduler thread starts recording, stops recording, do some cleanup etc. It stopped working after 2/6/2013 9:00:00 PM Jane and the Dragon, but I can't find reason why :(

    I had to restart my computer to make it record that show. I guess the scheduler stops after recording a show. Since reinstalling looks like the only solution, is there any way to reinstall mediaportal without losing the my settings and stuff?

    The auto-epg option only works for DVB based TV outside of the US and does not apply to US ATSC. Since you are in the US 1 of the online EPG options is you best choice. Looks like you are using xmltv/mc2xml based on your log files, I also use that option.

    I'd recommend you disable the DVB-EPG grabbing options in DVB EPG. It might not cause problems but it would get rid of extra tuner activity trying to do DVB-EPG that will not work. Make sure the TV Server stops and restarts using TV Server Manual control, or maybe just reboot. see wiki

    if you to uninstall you can try the 1st "Standard uninstall" option then reinstall,

    The only configuration that is certain to work is when the MP client and MP server are from the same release. It is sometimes possible to use MP clients from a release that is different to the MP server, but whether it works depends on the specific changes that were made between the two releases. -- from CyberSimian in the UK

    O Frabjous Joy! That seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much for your help and advice, CyberSimian. I hadn't thought of deleting the various folders, but I'll bear that in mind for any future disasters. Now I can record King & Conqueror on Sunday! Cheers Ralph
