[TM-TWIN-OE] Zero length recordings

[no1baggiesfan]

1. Are you on latest bootloader?
2. Does the problem exist if you use another softcam?
3. Does the problem exist on OpenTV 5.3?

Can you give a test script so someone can recreate your issues.

1. yes
2. channel is FTA, but same config/cam works on 3.2
3. havent tried that image, yet.

script ?

You appear to have had a similar problem about a year ago, when recordings (only recordings) started failing after about 20 minutes...

Was it ever resolved, as there's nothing in the thread?

Yes it was ccs, I replaced the HDD and bought a new upgraded PSU board, as the old one had overheated and burnt out, sorry, completely forgot about that thread lol, it is now updated ty

well, another update.

Still getting zero length recordings, flashed box, re-flashed box, upgraded flash, flashed, re-flashed, flashed with no backup, flashed with backup, DL epg data, scanned sat, scanned for autobouquets, nothing makes any difference.
Channel is FTA so it is not a cam/card issue.
I can start a recording and it works perfectly.

But timed recordings WILL not work.

Just so you know you're not alone I have the same issue on my MiracleBox Premium Twin+ Plus with version 030. Fresh install.
Couldn't use 027, 028 or 029 as tuning didn't work (see other thread).
Was very happy that 030 fixed that issue but now cannot record anything.
Also got this using OpenATV which is why I came back to try 030. If it's on both systems is that a kernel problem?
Back using 4.1.016 which seems pretty stable and it has never missed a recording, shame about no plugins though.
It must be a nightmare trying to keep this software working on so many different versions of hardware. Perhaps they need more beta testers with all sorts of machines? I'd be happy to help but I only have one box which is in constant use.
