It's not the HDD (Samsung M31TB USB 3.0) as it's only an issue with some recordings ....(un)fortunately it's usually the wife's soaps
. I'd tried a different storage device in the past too with no change. 0 -

I am off on holidays in a couple of weeks and I wanted to set the timer on the Spark side of the box to record a few programmes (I dont trust the Enigma side to do it properly
)
Anyway I cant seem to get the timer working correctly. I set a couple of programmes up this week that would be on every week day and when I went into the time I edited each programme so that it would record "1-5" as opposed to just one time.
I did this on Monday. The programmes recorded on the Monday but not on the Tuesday. I set it up again for Wednesday and the programmes recorded but once again they didnt record on Thursday.
Im just wondering if I am meant to just set up a timer record for each day? Seems a bit silly if I have to considering there is options for Once a day, 1-5, 6&7 and 1 a week as timer recording options.0 -

A timer is a one off event. Enigma is better as it has an autotimers plugin which scans the EPG 7 days ahead on a schedule and adds what it finds as timers0 -

Ah right. Thanks for that. So I would have to add each days programmes as a seperate timer?? Bit of a pain but has to be done I suppose as I dont trust that Enigma will record everything 0 -

No. Say you want to record Corrie. You tell AutoTimer to scan the TV3 EPG daily for corrie between 19:00 and 21:00. It will then add this to the timer automatically forever more.
So it is very like Series Link in that, if an episode is moved from wed to thur, it will still be picked up (or if it gets scheduled for a later tine). Obviously, it only searches within the window you specify so having an evening window will miss all the omnibus re-runs.
It's even great for programs which maybe have a 10 week run annually. You could setup Denton Abbey as above and it would sit there for the remainder of the year doing nothing until it came around again a year later.
You could go a step further with DynDNS and have remote sccess to the box allowing you to even program the timer while you are away, using Dreamdroid or whatever.
My latest OpenAR-P image has AutoTimer all setup and eorking. Links in previous posts.

This is on the Enigma side though I take it? I have Autotimer working fine in Enigma but with the amount of freezing the channels are doing lately I dont trust it to play back any programmes I set to record. I recorded A Touch of Cloth on Sunday and I reckon I got to see 20 minutes of the programme with the way it kept jumping.
As basic as Spark is I dont get any of those issues apart from the timer.No. Say you want to record Corrie. You tell AutoTimer to scan the TV3 EPG daily for corrie between 19:00 and 21:00. It will then add this to the timer automatically forever more.

I had been told that the Spark plugin could potentially brick the box if the Spark 1.2.51 E2 update hadn't been applied to the box as it upgraded the U-Boot bootloader. My box came with the Spark 1.2.68 update installed and the only other update listed in the Upgrade Software menu is 1.2.65. Maybe I was being overly cautious but following your advice and also a PM received along with being told that I would have to wait another week for the Kingston memory stick that I had ordered I decided to take the risk and it worked.FlexMcMurphy wrote: »Why don't you try using the e2upgrade plugin in Spark?
I don't have this option.Option 1: Easiest way... In Spark go to Menu > System > Basic Setting > Factory Default > Boot to E2.0 -
