When I look at your logs, I see this message:

Please upgrade to the Simple.TV Premier Service to watch this show remotely

It sounds like you're trying to download the show remotely, but you don't have the right service to do this. A few questions:

• Do you have the premier service?
• Are you trying to download remotely, or are you on the same network as your SimpleTV?
• Are you able to view the recording from your browser?

If you're interested, ebay has listings for the Lifetime Premier service for $20-30 US.

Just another data point. I was having the same issue with the program scanning through really fast, making the directories and making files for the shows with 0 bytes downloaded. I thought it may be a problem specific to me so I didn't chime in. I have a STV Ver.1 & STV2 Ver. 2 hooked up at work on same network with Premier service. All shows play on my chrome browser.

Just for kicks I power cycled my STV1. After it came back online I ran the latest build again and it started downloading the files from the STV1 properly. Its still going right now so I will have to see what happens when it gets to the STV2.

My comment about the Premier service was mistaken. I looked at the markup wrong. Thanks for correcting me.

Let me know what happens with the download when you hit your second STV. I only have 1, so I haven't been able to test and see what happens when you have 2 devices.

As a follow up to my earlier experiment. I am recording some of the same shows on the STV1 & STV2. The application downloaded the files from my STV1 which took some time...then I think it went to the STV2 and quickly downloaded the files as 0 byte files and overwrote the ones from the STV1 that did have data in their files.

I have attached the log file if it helps.

The STV2 overwriting files that the STV1 just downloaded would make sense, as the file name format would be the exact same. I have added a new format token that allows you to use the STV name as part of the folder or file name. It's the MediaServerName token. See https://github.com/codethug/SimpleTv/blob/master/doc/NamingFormat.md for details on how to use it.

Hmm... I'm still not sure why it's downloading 0 byte files. Bu thanks for the latest log - hopefully seeing the same shows download with and without bytes will give me some clue as to what's going on.

[timlarson345]

I added a new feature with 1ab150b: when a file to be downloaded is less than 1MB in size, then skip the download. I know it doesn't solve everything for, but hopefully this will make it a little easier.

I have tried to simplify the shows on my two STV's to make things easier to debug. On my STV1 I left one Survivor Show and one Good Wife show. On the STV2 I left two Survivor Shows and two Good Wife shows which one of each is a duplicate of the STV1 data, I also left a bunch of 100 shows.

The program goes in good and downloads the two shows from the STV1. When it goes to the STV2 it does not overwrite the STV1's shows anymore which is good, but I don't think it is drilling through the STV2 data and picking up all the available shows.

I have included some screen shots and log to help debug. I hope this helps. I think this program will be super useful. Thanks for your efforts.

Still not working , Do we need to log to the simple tv web page and make it create a downloadable file or does it do it automatically?

Can you also explain how to read the log or what app you use to load it. There is to much for me to see what its doing?
