I narrowed it down to a scheduled RSS feed synchronization task in IE8.

I currently have 2 main issues, but I am not sure if they are related. 1. Since upgrading MP from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2 I get some recordings that don't stop. As a test, I tried scheduling 4 or 5 recordings manually (different channels, an hour or two apart). Often the first few recordings will be successful - the PC will resume from sleep 3 minutes before a recording is to start, start recording 3 minutes before the time in the EPG, record the program until 10 minutes after the EPG time and then go back to sleep. BUT: at some point, a recording will start at the correct time, but not stop - it will continue to record on the same channel until I manually stop the recording. This will happen even if another recording is scheduled on a different channel some time after the dodgy recording was supposed to stop. That then brings me to the next problem: 2. When I manually stop a recording (whether it is through the 'Active Recordings' menu or 'Scheduled Recordings' menu), MediaPortal freezes. My remote (iMON) is responsive because the animated icon acknowledges key presses, but nothing happens in the MP menu. I basically need to Ctrl-Alt-Del to go to Task Manager, select MediaPortal (which is shown as 'Not responding' in Task Manager) and 'End task'. 3. (I think I have fixed this one) When I upgraded Vista x64 from SP1 to SP2, I had no problems with the upgrade. However, MP would not record [B][I]any[/I][/B] scheduled recordings. I did some digging around in the event logs and Vista schedules, and found that when I started 'Scheduled tasks' (through Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Administrative Tools), an error dialog box would appear with a message relating to 'Feed sync task'. I narrowed it down to a scheduled RSS feed synchronization task in IE8. I disabled this in IE8 via Tools > Internet Options > Content > Feeds and Web Slices > Settings (uncheck 'Automatically check feeds...'). I then started to get successful recordings, although not all the time (see issue #1 above). I have attached a few logs from the last couple of days. Some important times (to help track potential issues) include: [B]On 30 May 09[/B] I manually scheduled recordings of programs at the following times: 10:30-11:00 11:30-12:00 13:00-13:30 13:30-14:00 (back-to-back program with 13:00-13:30) 18:30-19:00 19:00-19:30 (back-to-back program with 18:30-19:00) Problems: 1. The 13:30-14:00 recording was still recording at 15:02. I manually stopped the recording at 15:02. MP crashed (as per problem 2 above). Ended task via Task manager. Restarted MP at 15:05. 2. MP resumed for 18:30-19:00 recording. Recorded this successfully. At 22:57, the 19:00-19:30 recording was still active. Manually stopped recording at 22:57. MP crashed (problem 2 above). Turned off HTPC overnight. I thought that the back-to-back recordings may be causing this issue, so I deleted any schedule that had back-to-back programs (like Simpsons Hour) to see if that would prevent MP from recording 'overtime'. [B]On 31 May 09[/B] I manually scheduled 4 or 5 recordings during the day, without any back-to-back programs. One program (Ten News at Five) was supposed to record from 17:00 to 17:30, but it went overtime and I cancelled it at 19:15 - with the usual MP crash problem noted above. So the problem of recording overtime was not necessarily due to back-to-back recordings. I am at a loss to explain this, but would like it resolved ASAP for two important reasons - if a recording is unattended, the hard disk could fill up fairly quickly, and if a recording goes overtime, it will miss upcoming recordings. I'm hoping someone might have some time to look at the logs and provide some help. Hopefully the times I've given above will help. Note that each of the logs include the current logs manually appended to the backup logs, in case the backup logs include anything useful. Thanks in advance :) MLH01. [/QUOTE]
