Sorry this is not how bugs shd be reported, but I think I have to report within 24h and don't have time to do it properly. I updated Server to 15939 and found this problem, then today to 15947 with same result. Can't pinpoint arrival of bug - last download was about 4 weeks ago. I set a few recordings to 'every time on this channel'. With 15939, my HD filled up with 17 identical recordings of same program, all unusable with excess pixellation, presumably because of PC overload. With 15947, just 2 instances of same recording for each of 3 recording settings. PC has dual-core Intel on DP35DPM mobo, XP SP2, TV Card: 2 x Technisat skystar2. Multiple recordings are from same card (I have set separate recording folders for each card). Was all working OK until these recent upgrades. How do I proceed to get you to look at this?

Hi ArnoldGoat,

I can confirm that this issue has been noticed by the team.

It seems to be rare, so perhaps you could provide some log files?

Also, what EPG grabbing method do you use?

Cheers,

Unfortunately the log files seemed to roll over at midnight, destroying the evidence, except for TsWriter. If it does it tonight, I will catch it before midnight. EPG is set in server configuration TVChannels->TV EpG Grabber, so I suppose it's in the DVB stream? I set nothing else. Are you happy to have logs from this snapshot, when it exhibits the problem?

Duplicate Recording

I got 2 copies of a programme that I set for recording. (Not as impressive as the 17 I got last time, but at least I can produce the evidence this time!)
Log files from the server log directory are zipped and attached.
