Error -6 When Recording Makes Box Unresponsive

[birdman]

usb to me is not setup correctly it also needs to be ext3- ext4

Mine is vfat and it causes no problems at all. I'm not downloading an EPG to it though (I get mine from the transponder data).

Totally unrelated to your problem, but there's a bug in the MovieOrganisor plugin (it can't handle files with a ' in their name).
If anyone knows where the source is it should be fixable.

That is configurable:
Main menu -> Setup -> Recordings, playback & timeshift -> Playback & timseshift / Recordings always have priority: yes/No.

Thanks, thought this might sort it but looks like I already have it configured correctly.

Not sure location of source but I think it was quite by grog68 on Techkings forum so might be worth asking there. Might be why the removing of New sometimes fails.

Ditch the usb and point the EPG to your HDD.

The bug is nothing to do with whatever is being discussed here. It's a small bug concerning online update.

but as he has an issue i do see newer image giving him the option?

Happened again last night, off out today but had a few mins to tinker this morn. Changed sat tuner to single rather than equal to and turned on show message when starting recording before trying to recreate problem. Successfully did so, watching BBC 1 London with timers set for Channel 5 HD and BBC 1 HD using just sat tuners. Box hung with no message to say recording was due to start. Was able to use Dreaboxedit to restart box so does this mean just the GUI was frozen?

I changed the skin to test it wasn't that and again successfully froze box with no message using same channels. Did the same a third time but watched a Freeview channel, again no message but box did not freeze this time (expected as not all tuners needed were in use). Tried recording a Freeview channel using the C tuner DVB-T2 whilst watching another Freeview channel, received a message that a recording was about to start and that service had been changed to the recording channel. I guess this is what should happen when using both sat tuners but it seems to be ignoring the settings when both in use.

Did it one last time, watching a sat channel and recording another and got a message to say a recording was starting. Could it be a bug?

Which skin(s) have you been using?

I can confirm that service changes to the recording channel works fine on a T2 only setup.

[PJDiddy]

Which skin(s) have you been using?

Now away from box so can't remember exactly name but I normally use the Confluence skin and this morning I tried a test timer on the YouVix skin, both fail to show any recording message and both hang box as above using the sat tuners. Can't remember which skin I used when testing the DVB-T2 tuner but it worked fine as it should.

OK if you're downloading EPG once a day (or so) but not if you are getting it from the transponders (EIT), as having it on the hdd then stops your disk sleeping.

I thought transponder epg was only written to "disc" at shutdown, and at regular intervals you can define.

My hdd certainly sleeps.

Check when the file was last modified and see if it corresponds to a shutdown time?

Ah yes - you are right.
So it makes no significant difference at all whether it be on hdd or usb, as it's only ever read/written once.
