Win Live TV Recordings won't play - 0 KB?
#1
I'm fairly new to XBMC, so please forgive me if I'm a newb. I have searched throughout the XBMC forums, and I can't find a solution or find a problem that is exactly like this one.

I am running Windows 7 32-bit and have installed XBMC Frodo. I have also installed the latest PVR Next backend as well as the addon within XBMC. I have got to the point where I can watch (and hear) Live TV through XBMC.

I decided to test the DVR feature and set a timer to record a show. It seems the timer was triggered, but the recording won't play. I've tried hitting the "enter" key, the "play" key, and nothing happens. When I look within the DVR directory, I see the .ts files that were created but they are 0 KB?? This has happened on both recordings I've tried. Here is my log file with debugging enabled. Any ideas what's wrong or what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

As an update, I have narrowed down the issue. It appears that I can record live tv and play the recording. The problem ocurrs when using a timer. If I manually start recording, the video is fine. If I set a timer to record a show, the video file (.ts) will not play. The size of the file is 0 KB. The timer is triggered because the file is created. It's like the automatic recording function doesn't work. Any ideas? Please?

I use Next PVR and don't have this issue. Having said that, I use the Next PVR software to schedule recordings rather than XBMC as it allows series recording etc. Have you tried it that way? Perhaps that would at least narrow down the issue to either/both/neither XBMC and/or Next PVR.

Also, try the Next PVR forums if you haven't already. GL.
