The 'Humaxtv.log' file logs various events, But the ones you should be looking out for will have a reference to 'redring' like te ones in #264 above

Thanks, I'll investigate. Not getting the standby amber is expected if you're using AR mode and the next recording starts within 15 minutes - the box stays on looking for the AR signal but it should certainly then change to red once the recording starts.

It's as if it needs to spin down the hard disk (and revert to amber) in order to work properly
I thought that I might've missed it in the repo. Of course if af123 would like to share the clock tweak I would like to try it.
OP
I haven't managed to replicate this yet : ( - tried setting a few recordings to start in the next 10 minutes and then put it into standby. As expected, the LED ring went blue until the recording started then went red. (AR Mode).

Mine is working as expected, and it woke up as normal this morning, and so far no issues!

Same observations as Brian yesterday. - Amber > Blue > Red > Purple > Red > Blue - Stayed Blue and not able to return to Amber by use of Standby. Left overnight and was back to Amber in morning. I have auto update at 4:30am and Sleep / Wake set for 7am / 7:15 so assume one of these events put things to right.
After leaving it on Blue last night, it was back to Orange again this morning.

I had this happen twice with a previous install of 0.99-3, With a new install I have had 'non-amber' but otherwise OK. [EDIT see below]
all recordings from standby in AR mode, NOTE :- S20 = put into standby 20 Mins. before start time
from web-If (with a restart)
S20-A-B-R-B-A = all OK
S8-B-R-B-A = All OK
Using remote, 2 staggered recordings
S17-B-R-P-R-B-A = expected S17-A start otherwise OK
EDIT
Using remote, 2 staggered recordings
S15-B-R-P-R-B-A = all OK
From Web-IF, 2 staggered recordings
S17-B-R-P-R-B-A = expected S17-A start (again) otherwise OK
EDIT2
Using remote, 2 staggered recordings
got S21-B-B-B-B-R-B-A but expected S21-A-B-R-P-R-B-A so LEDs Failed
Redring: power-off dim detected.
Redring: ring trying to go amber.
changing to blue.
Redring: recording start 19:'/mnt/hd2/My Video/Mike the Knight_20120313_1608.nts'
recording 1
Redring: REC icon on.
system is in standby.
changing to red.
Redring: recording start 24:'/mnt/hd2/My Video/Horrid Henry_20120313_1618.nts'
recording 2
changing to purple.
Redring: recording end 19.
changing to red.
[Didn't catch rest of log before standby]
Not sure if it is relevant but when the LEDs failed, (See above), both recordings were transmitted almost 3 Mins. late and AR tracked this correctly so start 19 scheduled from 16:05 to 16:20 was correctly recorded from 16:08 to 16:23. start 24 scheduled from 16:15 to 16:30 was correctly recorded from 16:18 to 18:33 Previous recording were roughly on time
Probably missed the space after "touch"
This has been working very well for me over the last few days with no issues to report at all, and I think that the time has come to install it onto my second box.
Is this version going to be released as the first official version, or is it likely to be updated again before release?
Is this version going to be released as the first official version, or is it likely to be updated again before release?
I will install the current version and see if it behaves on my other box whilst waiting for the next release then.
It seems that I spoke too soon, box is recording in standby with a Blue ring.
Edit: It is recording another programme at the moment, and the ring is now Red.
OP
A quick update. I've been trying various things to make this more stable but even now I'm still seeing occasional odd behaviour. Most of the time it works fine but I have experienced the lack of 'START SYSTEM' once now as well as a failure for the ring to go amber on shutdown, again just once. I haven't seen any stray icons yet. The good news is that nothing has failed to record with it!
I'm going to upload an update in the next day or two which will support a separate and persistent log file as well as being much more verbose so that I can try and get more insight into why the oddities occur. Given the frequency of occurrence, it's likely to be some kind of race condition.

Both of mine seem to be working quite well at the moment, I have not noticed the lack of START SYSTEM with this version yet, nor have I noticed any stray icons. I did have the recording in standby with a Blue ring once see #298, and one box finished yesterdays recordings with a Blue ring failing to go Orange, although it was Orange when I got up this morning.
