I've had a problem with my Solo2 the last few days. Timed recordings are not starting. Some of them do, some of them don't.
First I had BlackHole 3 image, and got this problem. Then I switched to VTi, and the problem disappeared. But now it's back.

Can anyone help me?

The timer is correct. One example:
I record a program from "Channel X" each day at 20:00.

The recording started on monday, all ok.
Tuesday, all ok.
Wednesday, did not start at all.
Thursday, started, all ok ...

Is it possible to check the logs and see if there was any errors? Where can I find the logs?

These are the .log files I could find on my HDD. There was a recording tonight that didn't start, at 04:10, but looks like the newest log file is from 21st October ...

Is this related to my problem, maybe?




Why does it say "but BUSY!!!!!!!!"?

Just did an update, maybe there was 1 update missing, installed VTi just a week ago, so not much missing I think. Will keep an eye on the recordings today and tonight and update you guys.

Aha, I see. The update was running when I wrote my last post, but I saw there was 45 updates Applied when it was finished. Lets hope that fixed the problem, but I'll do an update tomorrow morning anyway

Looks like the problem is solved Thank you for Your help

Can I ask why these updates don't get applied when you do a fresh install of VTi image?

Problem is back again. I think almost all of my timer recordings are starting as they should, but one will not start.
TIMER: (all weekdays) (04:00 - 05:00)

Checked this morning, but no files on the HDD.

Timer set for 06:40 started correctly.

What can I do

Edit: Timer set for 09:39 didn't start either. How can I enable logging to see what is going wrong?
Tried to do this: Create Enigma2 log file – Gemini-Wiki

But it stopped after

hbbtv.app: no process found

Actually, I'm not recording a channel named "Channel X", but Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, FOX and other normal channels.
Only problem seems to be the one program starting 04:00 (in the middle of the night).

I tried removing the timer and re-adding it, and then it worked again, for just one night.
Tonight it stopped working again.

Edit 1:
Another timer recording set for 09:50 did not start today. Nothing has been recorded today actually ...

Edit 2:
Starting to wondering if it maybe can my the Vu+ Solo2 that is causing problems. Any way I can test my Box?
If I should buy a New tuner, mainly for recording, what should I go for? Dreambox DM500 HD? Or can I maybe use a OpenBox or zgemma?

I think I may have found the problem. Right now I'm recording Lucifer from FOX HD, and the tuner is still on channel Disney Channel on Tuner A.
It is recording on Tuner B.

At the moment I have only one cable connected, to Tuner A. No cable connected to tuner B.
How can I de-activate tuner B when not connected?

Wow, ok. Then I have some work to do
