When I came into my office this morning, streamWriter was running as I hoped,
but had a blank configuration - no streams, no recordings. This may be related
to problems periodically saving the database. I turned off automatic updates,
but this is not good. If a power bump happens while I am away, I will lose
recordings.
I had saved my configuration, and most was OK after reloading it. I had made
one tweak to the recording time for one station, and fixed that and saved my
config again. But one odd thing - the list of stream files is as it was at
the time of the last config save. That seems odd - there's a directory out
there to look at, so saving recordings in the config backup doesn't seem right.
I know that I have deleted files from the directory and had streamWriter notice
that. Since I do sometimes listen to shows through the sW UI, this isn't ideal,
though it's not a big problem.

this is an issue that should be fixed. Handling of system reboot/shutdown is improved in the latest build. I won't promise anything but many tests in a virtual machine looked good.
Usually streamWriter saves a "recovery file" every 10 minutes and when it crashed/gets terminated it will ask the user at the next start whether to load the saved recovery file so that only changes from the last minutes are lost. I have no clue why this did not work for you. |

It was (I hope) a bug in streamWriter where I did not correctly handle system shutdown/reboot. I am using the current build on different computers and always shutdown windows with streamWriter running - the problem did not appear again. |
