Bug #4958
TVH commences recording too soon with pre-padding set and using EIT p/f
0%
Description
Taking advice from #4927 I tried tonight setting pre-padding recording to 10 mins and reduce warm up time to 30s. However the recording fails with file no created.
In the debug logs I note it tries to start the recording to HDD twice? Once at the pre-padding time and tries again at the EIT p/f start mark.
Take tonight's programme of "Marcella" on ITV (in the UK) that was scheduled to start at 22:00.

Also, does the first (pre-padding) file contain some data?

Upgraded to 4.2.5-33~g5170252 and re-set the pre-padding and warm up parameters as above. Been running for a few days with trace. From what I see it fails only occasionally. It is not specific to any one channel. It affects multiple channels. In the attached trace log I've picked out two examples:
Works correctly - entry edaec29b2c998b2540b2e1db7af4e96d - Lethal Weapon...
Fails as above - entry ea1d5a8b80bec76f311de771d0b3c9e3 - John Worboys: The Taxi Cab...
Also, does the first (pre-padding) file contain some data?
Yes, also uploaded the John Worboys recording.

Thanks. Could you identify from the recodings what event was before 'John Worboys'?
Updated by Jaroslav Kysela over 6 years ago
I mean the previous event on the same channel as 'John Worboys'...
Updated by Jaroslav Kysela over 6 years ago
I found it in the log - "Coronation Street on ITV HD".

Please, try v4.2.5-41-gd42706d08 .
Thanks. Installed last night and will run for a few days with trace. First signs are promising - no recordings last night failed.
Will report back.

A few days later and still all recordings are working correctly. Consider this as fixed. Thanks very much.
