Hi, I've been doing some more searching in the logs and I have discovered I have a recordserver-0.log and a recordserver-502.log. The 502 is the user and the 0 the root log. In the root log I find the error as reprorted below. In the 502 I find some of the succesfull recordings like ......
Why are you running two recordservers? Until you know what you are doing I would suggest sticking with the root one.

That is not a successful recording. It changes the channel then dies or is shut down.
But in this log I see nothing about the scheduled recordings I have made. Those I see only in the 0 log, where mencoder is used what seems to me wrong.
Here is what I do. As root I check if the recordserver has started (/etc/init.d/freevo_recordserver restart). I start freevo (as a user),
If you run restart as root after starting it as a user that might result in two running, I'm not sure.
enter the tv guide menu, select a program, press f6, choose record, the program becomes green, and I wait. Nothing happens, no recording is made. I check the logs, there is only an entry in the 0 log (about mencoder) and nothing in the 502 logs.
In my local_conf.py I have commented out evertthing to do with VCR_CMD, I checked even the freevo.conf. But nothing gives.
If you are using a pvr-250 don't use the reneric_record plugin / VCR_CMD. This is covered in the docs (website). I think that's half your problem.
In my log I find....
