I have a peculiar issue i can't explain. Some recordings simply doesn't show up in the recordings database either when rebuilding or clean and refreshing db, despite all files (dummy.ts, .txt and .log) seem to be correct. Can't spot the error anywhere. RS 1.9.4.1

 

Here's two examples:

The log is not really needed. the info (txt) file should contain at least these fields or the recording will not be added.

Yes, i know, but I like to keep it around to be abled to track timings of errors and discontinuities in the recording.

These fields are present in both (txt) and they dont show up regardless and I cant understand why really. If I remember it right I think the thing in common for these two recordings was they was started through the RS Timeline (some time past the actual starttime) and not as timers.

If you use charset=255 the fields Channel, Title,Info and Description MUST be UTF-8 encoded. Otherwise you should use Charset=1.

All txt:s in the database is UTF-8 without BOM, including these ones.

Jeez, this was peculiar, the problem seem to be filename related.

 

RS did name it:

D:\TV\Recording Service\20120324_22-21-27_Animal Planet_Animal Planets mest spektakulära_E02.ts

 

Despite my File naming scheme is set to:

%year%m%d_%time_%station_%event - %title

 

The filename should have been:

D:\TV\Recording Service\20120324_22-21-27_Animal Planet_Animal Planets mest spektakulära - E02.ts

 

When manually removing the last underscore in the filename for both .ts and .txt and replacing it with " - " the file shows up when refreshing the db.

Hmm...that was strange! I have no idea how this could have happened...i'll have to test to see if i could find something.

Oops... :blush:

RS on my 64-bit system was still set to using the underscore and the two recordings were made by that system. Sorry for wasting your time :blush:

A bit strange though such a small deviation can prevent the recording from showing up in the joint database.
