Hi,
after a very short power outage, my new Tvheadend 4.2 setup (Intel PC) apparently did not startup the DVB-S2 dual-tuner card correctly while the third tuner, a DVB-S2 USB box, worked as expected. When I recognized this, I wanted to restart the machine, but an auto-recording was running at that time on the USB tuner box. So I waited until the commercial break to do the restart.
After the reboot (or a "sudo service tvheadend restart"), I expected Tvheadenend to continue the recording, like e.g. VDR does. But apparently, the timer was deleted, and the recording was moved to "Failed recordings" (although it was in reality fine despite of the break during the commercial break). However, the biggest problem was that I was not able to set a new timer from the EPG for the same show even though at least in the auto-recording setting, the duplicate handling was set to "record all". Instead, after having move the "failed" recordings to the "finished recordings", the new tries were all shown in the "failed" recordings with a comment like "file could not be created".
Clicking on "Re-record" also did not seem to have an effect. And what does this button do in general - would this button delete the "failed" recording and search for repeated airings in the future? I did not find a hint in the docs.
Or to summarize it: How do I deal in the future with a running timer in case the recording gets interrupted by any reasons? How do I continue the recording?
Thanks in advance
Joerg
