1.3C - No disk space enough on the record drive Warning

[zag1958]

This warning keeps poping up every time I try to record. The recording still takes place but this warning window comes up regardless of how much space there is left on the hard drive (I have over 80GB left). Also because DD doesn't "think" it's recording it will let you change channels without a warning and will start a new recording file.

Strange, cannot confirm, could you try to check / change Record Path and last two options in Preferences > Record?

I saw this in b, but haven't seen it in c. I reduced the warning space to minimal and it went away, but as I say I havn't seen it since c came out.

I had not seen it until c. I have two versions of DD installed in two separate folders for two different DVB cards (SS2 and genpix), anyway, I installed the update in only one of them (genpix) and it now gives me the warning every time I hit the record button or schedule a recording while the b in the other folder does not.


Update:
I updated the second folder (SS2) to 1.3c and it does not have the warning problem. So to summarize, both installed version are now at 1.3c and the genpix installation has the problem.

I then tried just changing devices from the genpix to SS2 and the problem disappeard. When I changed back to genpix the problem was still gone however, when I exited the application and restarted it the problem came back.


Update #2: I guess I really should finish all of my testing before posting. I now believe it is just a borked installation. Basically one installation (genpix) is now giving me the warning regardless of which card I select (SS2 or genpix) but if I change card and don't exit the problem goes away but as soon as I restard DD the problem is back. The other installation (SS2) does NOT give me the problem with either card at any time. So I guess I just need to delete and re-install.

Before deleting the whole folder, you can delete the settings.cfg file is that repertory and restart DD to check if problem still exists.

Exactly - first close DD and then delete (or just rename) settings.cfg file, otherwise another one will be created if you close DD AFTER you delete settings.cfg file.
