[redring] Show red LED ring when recording in standby + other options...

What was your LED ring indicating when you put the box in standby during the first recording? Mine was Bright Orange, when it should have been Dull Orange.

It was amber but I would say it was the normal dim, I think it's 11%
 
The RR with purple and debug has woken up for it's AR 15Min so I think it will wake at 00:05. Here is the RR log with no set wakeup over write

EDIT
Another good recording result, that only leaves the red+blue in half awake
 
I have just checked another good overnight recording wake-up this time with RR Purple, debug and half awake blue, the Humax set wake-up for the 4:30am search correctly with no 00000000 over write and the unit woke up at 4:30 and 8:34 for the next recording, strange thing is, there was no set wakup to 8:34 in the RR log. I also noticed that sometimes the RR log shows extra set wakeup with incorrect date info. e.g. July 1st :-

Code:
[RR] Sun Jul 22 01:33:06 2012: -> SetWakeup(0x5) 01 4f f0 8c 60
[RR] Sun Jul 22 01:33:06 2012:    [ Sun Jul  1 17:44:00 2012 ]  ( 1341164640 )
[RR] Sun Jul 22 01:33:06 2012: +> SetWakeup(0x5) 01 4f f0 8c 60
[RR] Sun Jul 22 01:33:06 2012:    [ Sun Jul  1 17:44:00 2012 ]  ( 1341164640 )

[RR] Sun Jul 22 01:33:06 2012: +> SetWakeup(0x5) 01 00 00 00 00
 
Another pass, not sure where where to go from here, as far as I can see RR was in the same state that it failed in before e.g.

RR + purple + debug + blue&red half awake = failed twice
RR removed = passed twice
RR + purple + debug = passed
RR + purple + debug + half awake blue = passed
RR + purple + debug + half awake blue&red = passed

My test this afternoon resulted in a failure, but a later recording did work fine even though the previous shutdown did the double SetWakeup (see below)

I need to work out what's different about putting it to sleep while it is still recording.

I'm still looking at this but haven't had much time recently. Every time I do manage to make time the box is busy recording something! Ideally I'd look at it during the day when there are lots of short programmes on the kids' channels.
 
I've just uploaded redring version 2.0.1. I /think/ I've solved the problem with putting the box to sleep during a recording. Do any of you have time to update and test?

I've tested it a couple of times and it seems ok, but I can only do about one test every 30 minutes!

I will install it tomorrow evening, and test.:)
 
I don't know if its related to this but my box failed to record every programme set last night (i think it was 4 in total). They are in the schedule correctly, but the box simply never came on. There are no files in the media library for the programmes so the box obviously never made any attempt to record them. Trouble is I can't say if the box was turned off during a recording earlier in the day (as i wasn't here and the OH has a memory like a goldfish!) but its the only thing i can think of since when programmes fail to track a file is still left behind. The box does do this probably once every few weeks, usually when Im out for the evening as well - its bloomin annoying lol.
 
I'm I correct in thinking that if I never turn my box off then I wont be effected by these issues? I dont tend to bother tuning off the hummy anyway due to shaky HDMI handshaking if I do (although handshaking does seem improved for me since the most recent Humax update).

The problem only seems to arise if the box is put into standby during a recording, so you should be fine.
