Software and TAPs for Topfield PVRs

Recording Fixer

Download version 1.3 (updated 15/12/2007)

This TAP allows certain types of broken recording to be fixed so that they are playable.

If the Toppy crashes during a recording, the programme detail header is not applied to the recording and it displays in the archive as "Invalid File". Recording Fixer can recreate this header, either based on another recording or based on a selected channel.

Installation

Recording Fixer is a run on demand TAP, so copy it to ProgramFiles rather than the Auto Start folder.

Usage

On running, Recording Fixer displays a list of all recordings.

• Scroll down until you find the recording you want to fix. Broken recordings are indicated with "Invalid recording" in the status bar. Press OK.
• Select the fix method: Existing recording or Channel. Existing recording copies programme title and description from another recording, which must be from the same channel. Channel creates a blank header.

Known problems

• Doesn't work very well with recordings made on radio channels created by the OneList TAP.
