That's a pretty vague error report.

1) How many tuners do you have?
2) Were the programs consecutive?
3) Were the programs on the same channel?
4) What was the start and end time of each program?
5) Did you enable the "extra time" feature in setup?

I think filling in some of the above information will help to start
narrow things down if there is a code bug.

One, a PVR 250 card.

>2) Were the programs consecutive?

Show 2 - which was the first one skipped, was consecutive, on the same
channel, after show one.

>3) Were the programs on the same channel?

The first one was, the fourth one, the next one it skipped, was on a
totally different channel and was not starting at the end time of the previous.

>4) What was the start and end time of each program?

Show 2 started immediately after show 1 on the same channel.

>5) Did you enable the "extra time" feature in setup?

No. Are you referring to the extra few minutes of recording after a clock
time end? Nope, that is not turned on.

Sorry, when I said, "what are the start and end times of each", I
actually litterally meant it. (Just in case this is a crossing
midnight or something like that issue)

Just put in the channel, show, start time, end time for each of the
programs and indicate whether it recorded or not. That might give
someone else the chance to try to reproduce your situation.

Also, there is no ".9", so I'm assuming that you're running CVS.

Are there any error messages in /var/log/messages from the ivtv
driver at the time the program didn't record? Can you get this error
to happen on a BT8x8 card to rule out the possibility that this is
due to the alpha ivtv driver?

I'll do another test tonight and take down everything in detail so I can do
that tomorrow.

Yes, sorry, I meant the latest CVS as of 4 days ago.

I will double check, but I don't believe so. I don't have a BT8x8 card so
I can't do the alternate test.

Could update to current before retesting?

I'll give it a shot. I had some headaches getting it installed but I'll
try it now and see what happens.

PS - I also just discovered that of the fours shows I scheduled yesterday,
the last two (trading spaces last night at 21:00 and 22:00 back to back)
didn't record at all... (TLC was the channel).

Make sure they're not disabled recordings due to matching stuff you've already
recorded. They'd show up as greyed out in the view conflicts screen..

Good suggestion but I hadn't recorded a single episode of Trading Spaces
yet and I believe both of these were new (first airing) episodes as well.

If this is the right answer, it still indicates a bug of some sort. While
the 21:00 show was a rerun, the 22:00 show was being broadcast for the
first time. Thus, if it showed up as already recorded, thre is some problem
with the procedure, or the database, used to determine if something has
been recorded previously.

Also, when you're running mythbackend, could you use the -v option to it to
put it into verbose mode?

The compile worked fine this time. And no problem on the -v for backend -
will do.

Also - and shame on me for not looking in the docs on this yet - but how do
I enable the weather and music modules? Also, I only seem to have the
basic liquid blue theme operational, is this normal on initial install?

And if you can just verify that everything you selected _does_ show up to be
recorded in the view conflicts list, that'd be great. It should hopefully be
possible to track things down with all that (-v, current cvs, etc).

For the different modules, all you have to do is compile/install them. They
should show up automatically in the main menu. As for other themes, the only
ones that work currently (due to the UI rework) are blue and liquid.
Hopefully some others will get added to that list soon =)

Ok, I compiled the latest version and went in to select some more shows and
when I confirmed on the conflicts screen (which I've been doing all along)
I noticed my "missing" trading spaces episodes were appearing but for NEXT
saturday... very odd as I selected them yesterday as I was paging through
marking other shows... Also, they didn't appear here before I did the
upgrade...

Perfect, thanks, I'll grab them and give them a try.

Is there any support for MP3 streamed internet radio stations in the music
module? ;)
