...I deleted the said folder as I wanted to move it to another, then went into the CT and went to "Move To" option to change it. Instant reboot on pressing < or >....

I had this very same problem the other week, when I first got the box. I also renamed/moved folders around using MyStuff, and then going to the associated CT's and trying to re-point the destinations made the box crash. Had the same effect when I renamed some folders through Altair too.

My quick workaround was just rename/move the folders, then I deleted the affected CT's (yes, its lets that happen), and just re-create the CT's and browse to the relevant destination folder.

I didn't raise it before, as the forum search didn't appear to want to return any results for anything I searched on, and I didn't fancy trawling the 90+ pages of this thread to see if it was a known thing

Did you guys manage to thrash this one out today, or are you no closer to knowing the cause? Let me know if I can provide any further info/help.

P.S. - you'll see from my sig that I'm running the latest version of MyStuff (4.54e), and the latest firmware.

Hi all,
I have created a Wiki based web page to try & keep track of some of the Questions & Answers in this thread ....

Eastenders duly stopped (well, actually, I stopped it early as it had finished), and then Holby started. When I checked what was happening (fully ready to cut down the recording time to allow TSW to record correctly), the timer said exactly 1 hour (which is what I'd expect if everything's working normally, as the other tuner's busy, and there are (now) recordings both before and after it, so no room for padding).

So basically, this means that there was no need for the message - at least in this case.

I know that there's a safety-first timing issue with recordings about to start, and what info it's possible to get from the Toppy API, but can the message at least allow for the possibility that there might not actually be any problem at all? (Or has this been fixed in a version that I haven't updated to?? )

But surely since you stopped Eastenders early then the timer you were trying to set did clash with at least one active recording? Then you converted it to a CT MS probably then adjusted the timer to not clash with the active recordings, whereas when it was just a normal timer it probably did. I think

Eastenders was already recording, and Holby and The Bill CTs were about to start at 8pm. (EE, Holby and TSW are all on BBC1.) I got a message (in the right skin, so from MyStuff) saying that although the timer had been set, it "clashed" with an active recording. I then pressed Rec again and changed The State Within to a CT and waited ...

Not the same thing at all, but I keep getting 'funnies' which are quite annoying - again, it may be I'm trying to do something illegal, but - we were recording Holby, which padded 10 minutes into The State Within, which we wanted to watch live. The wife wanted me to record Pete Burns on ITV1 but we were already recording Catherine Tate. So I 'stopped' the recording of Holby, and the Pete Burns thing started recording, like magic.

When we got round to looking for Holby later, it was nowhere to be seen... even though it had been showing as recording in the archive...

Once recording is occurring, MS isn't involved - the Toppy has gone native by then . I (and others) HAVE seen the occasional problem where a recording "disappears" from the MS archive immediately after it's finished, but if you go into the native archive and back into MS, it reappears (even though pressing 0 to refress MS didn't make a difference). Could it be that you've had one of those?

(I think it's something to do with Automove and timing.)
