no 5m pre ot 15m post record on shows

[Wiked]

Hey Pete, John & Darren,

I manually deleted all my settings the other night on one of my Tivos and re did the guided setup etc to start again.

Now all is good but for one thing. When recording it will not record 5mins before and 15 mins after etc. It will only record for the specified time for the show no matter if there if nothing to record either side of it.

Do you know what I have to do to get this back working?

I assume its quite easy and have searched for the answer but cant seem to find it and any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Craig

check the endpad.log for the reason why it is not running properly.

You could also try:

ps ax | grep endpad*

To see if it's running at all.

When I try

ps ax | grep endpad*

it comes back with:

284 p0 SW 0:00 grep endpad*

Sorry but I have no idea on what that means. Any ideas?

[petestrash]

It means that endpad is not running.

Did you change rc.sysinit.author ?

How about the logs ?

endpag log is:

Friday 00:26:00 : EndPadPlus log file, log rotated
Friday 00:26:00 : Back to sleep...
Friday 00:26:00 : Checking every minute for kill signal...............................
Friday 00:56:00 :
Friday 00:56:00 : Rise and shine!
Friday 00:56:00 : Processing current recording(s):
Friday 00:56:00 : * No recordings in progress
Friday 00:56:00 : Processing next recording(s):
Friday 00:56:00 : * No scheduled recordings found
Friday 00:56:00 : Next wake up will be 01:26
Friday 00:56:00 : Back to sleep...
Friday 00:56:00 : Checking every minute for kill signal......

That time around midnight on Friday night was when I deleted all guide data and redid the guided setup etc again


Nope, didn't touch rc.sysinit.author at all.

Well, for some reason endpad has not restarted since you played with the TiVo.

Make sure you have at least 2 programs in your todo list and restart the TiVo.
