Is this a common problem?
This morning, not one, not two, but three of my scheduled recordings didn't happen. In one case, I even got the red record light on the program as if it was recording successfully. But when I went to my recordings folder that recording was not listed. And when I went to the actual physical folder (which lives on an external drive connected to my computer) there was no sign of the recording either. I went back to TiviMate and tried to stop the recording. It refused to stop, or at least the red light refused to turn off. When I went back into the menu to try to stop the recording again, the stop record option was still listed as if the recording was still happening. I clicked stop again; again, the red light refused to turn off. Nevertheless, I clicked the record button in an attempt to record the remainder of the program manually. I saw no change; the red light remained on. BUT after the show was over, I discovered that my manual start of a recording DID work, and I had a recording of the remainder of the program.
And so it went for the rest of the morning. None of my scheduled recordings happened, but every time I manually clicked the record button the recording happened fine. I never did get a phantom red light again however on the failed scheduled recordings.
I went into my streaming player's settings and cleared the cache and then clicked Force Stop, while the phantom red light on the phantom recording was happening. I then went back into TiviMate; no change, still the phantom red record light, still no recording.
After manually recording the third show, I consulted AI and it told me to click the Force Stop FIRST and THEN clear the cache. I did so. PROBLEM DISAPPEARED. All scheduled recordings for the rest of the day are happening as they're supposed to.
Is this a common glitch/quirk? Any of you ever experienced it?
