View Full Version : Scheduled Recordings intermittently disappearing in 1.2.2 Beta

Odd behavior tonight... I've yet to update to 1.2.3, but it doesn't look like this behavior was likely to be addressed in that smallish delta from the 1.2.2 Beta.

Situation:
1 - American Idol scheduled to record from 8-9pm on ch. 2 tonight
2 - 24 scheduled to record from 9-10pm on ch. 2 tonight
3 - Ed scheduled to record from 9-10pm on ch. 3 on Friday

Note that I manually pad 3 minutes before/after each program. This does not apply to ch. 2 @ 9pm tonight because #1 & #2 butt up against each other.

At around 9:15pm tonight, I switched over to display my TV. I hovered the mouse over the SageTV Tray Icon and was surprised to see it *not* indicate it was recording 24. Restoring SageTV, I verified that, indeed, it was not recording the program I had earlier scheduled in #2 above. It had, however, done #1.

Second problem was revealed while in Scheduled Recordings. The recording of Ed (#3 above) wasn't shown. I scrolled thru the EPG to Friday @ 9pm and, oddly, Ed *was* shown to be recorded in the EPG. Back to the Scheduled Recordings: no #3. Very odd. Shutdown SageTV and restarted - now #3 showed up in Scheduled Recordings.

Such behavior was never seen with v1.0, but I went straight from there to v1.2.2 Beta, so I can't say at all when this problem/bug was injected. But I do suspect it's in the new multi-card area given that you must have had to do major surgery in the Scheduled Recordings area of the code.

If you want me to post one of the SageTV_xx.txt files, let me know what to search for - those files are huge at this point...

Meanwhile, I'm going to upgrade to your v1.2.3 Beta...

Per release note #1 for 1.2.1 Beta:
1. Added multiple tuner support to sageTV. The only known problem is when you modify a time-based recording while its occuring; so please don't do that.

This issue could likely extend to time-based recordings in general. Please email the sagetv_x.txt files from your SageTV folder to support@freytechnologies.com so I can get some more information on this. (zipping should shrink them a lot)

Thanks, Jeff - will do on the emailing of sagetv_x.txt when I get home. I hope your POP3 server will accept large files :-)...

Yup, I saw your 1.2.1 Release Note warning. Didn't do what it said not to do though :-)

P.S. Ordered a 2nd Hauppauge PVR-250 yesterday - Can't wait to try out this feature...
