XP MCE 2005: Recorded shows appearing twice?

[evildre]

This is an odd one ... I installed TweakMCE, which allows you to screw around with some of MCE's settings (i.e. message timeouts, location of recorded files, watch folders for recorded shows, etc.). After reorganizing a large amount of data, I had a blank 160GB drive, my F: drive; my TV shows now record to that drive instead of the default location, which is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\Recorded TV. There were no TV shows in that directory before the change.

Now, whenever a show records, I get two entries on my "Recorded TV" screen. The show only records once, but is listed twice. If I delete one of the two entries, both of them disappear. That's some messed up stuff right there ... how do I fix it?

Anyone?

I got the same issue happening... only thing I could think of is if the recording got paused or machine rebooted and the recording restarted itself... (which is doubtful)

I thought it might have been because my CPU utilization got pegged at 100% by something other than F@H for a while ... that wasn't it, though, as most of the shows I record are on while I'm asleep.

One last try?

It's fixed!

The problem was that I used TweakMCE to change the path to which it records. I changed the path back to the default using TweakMCE, then changed it through the Media Center UI (Settings->TV->Recorder->Recorder Storage). I noticed that there was no "Recorded TV" folder on my TV show drive before, and that after I changed the path using the Media Center UI, there was. The show that recorded last night only appeared once in my list.
