"Please insert the DVD to play this video" message with recorded tv playback...

[ProAm500]

I just got around to setting up Sage over this past weekend and have only recorded a few shows with it. I recorded a few episodes of The Shield the past week and when I try to play either of my recordings I get a "Please insert the DVD to play this video" message...I'm using two HVR-1600's as my tuning sources....any ideas on why I would get this message?

am i the only one that has seen this?

Are you using the SageMC interface? I remember some SageMC users mentioning it in the past, but I can't remember whether it also happened to people using the default STV.

it seems that no matter what i record from either tuner give me this message, and i can not view my recorded content...is there something im missing?

You should revert to a default setup using SageTV3.xml as your STV and have no other customizations enabled, then see if it happens. If so, contact SageTV support for assistance because so far it seems like no one remembers what this could be. If it only happens in SageMC, then it would seem to be related to some sort of setting it is using.

Ok I switched back to the standard interface and it seems my recordings play as normal without that DVD message....I assume its something in the SageMC config thats off?

The only thing I can suggest is to post a debug log after reproducing the problem in SageMC. Instructions are here.

What is your setting for the following path?

Settings >> SageMC >> Paths >> Offline Path

c:/....I have my Hard drive partitioned into two parts....c:\ for data and my recordings and d:\ for Windows

[MeInMaui]

Hmmm..... Try creating a folder like C:\Offline and changing the offline path to that. It's a long shot, but you never know. ( I assume your recording path is not also set to C:\, but something like C:\[Recording directory]) Also, what plugin do you have installed?
