Hi, Here is a screenshot, showing an extract from "Scheduled Recordings". As I indicated, the standard way that programs being recorded are shown on my system, is with the red highlight. Furthermore, any programs, in progress of being recorded, are also shown in red highlight on the "watch recordings" screen.
The program shown in the screenshot did record OK. I only looked at the first few seconds, as this was recorded only for the purpose of taking the screenshot. In your experience, what is the standard colour for a normal recording in progress? Regards, Garry.

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Confirmed Bug description: I think that this may represent several separate bugs... I have been using Mythbuntu 9.04 since May 09, with only a few early teething problems, until 1 week ago. My MythTV recording facility worked only partially on 26/07/09 (when I had 7 programs scheduled) & 28/07/09 (when I had 5 programs scheduled), all over several channels. On one channel only, all requested programs were recorded; none of the other programs on other channels were recorded. However, for the ones that were not recorded, the following happened: 1. The scheduled items on “Upcoming Recordings” were red high-lighted during the period that they should have been recorded (as normal). 2. On the “Watch Recordings” list, when I clicked on any of the red high-lighted items, the system displayed the message “not available yet” (not normal). 3. When the time for recording had passed & when I clicked on the item to watch it, the system displayed the message “can't find the file”. I think that an earlier indication of recording failure & a clear error message should be displayed when the program is not recording, rather than the the red high-lighted items (as in points 1 & 2 above). A superficial glance at these infers that all is well, as this is the typical indication that recording is going OK. I don't remember any particular action that may have disabled anything. In any case, with one channel recording, it wasn't the whole system. I suspected a tuner problem (I can't make any sense of logs, & they have thousands of lines...). So I used “Control Centre” to review the tuners. I have 2 X dual digital tuners; both Hauppauge; a model Nova T-500 PCI, bought on 17/10/08, & a model Nova TD-500 PCI (which seems to be the current version of the T-500), bought on 23/06/09. The system is recognising both tuners in the TD-500 (chip DibCom 7000 PC), but only one in the T-500 (chip DibCom 3000MC/P), so I need to do some more investigation on that. The tuners are numbered 57 to 62. After reviewing the data associated with the tuners, but not changing anything, I quit the “Control Centre”. The system then requested that I run "mythfilldatabase", so I did that. It now seems to be working, although I haven't tried stressing it yet. I have included part of the log file /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log. This covers the time period from just before 18:30 to just after 21:30 on Sunday 26/07/09 (the file inadvertently has the date 270709, but should be 260709). _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
