I am trying to figure out the cause of playback hiccups on my system.
They look like momentary signal loss, but it is happening on local channels, and I have watched a signal meter and it looks like the signal quality is excellent and steady.
Accordingly, I wonder if it may have something to do with writing to storage. My recordings are written to a USB3 external hard drive. Is there any kind of buffer that receives the data before writing to disk? Is it configurable?
Updated from 7.03 to 7.05 using docker stable, but getting an error with XML. I have been using tinyurl.com URLs made from boss for m3u and xml, and never had issues before, but getting issues today with xml only while m3u working. Below are the two errors I received, and replaced part of the tiny url with "xxxxxxx".
Code:

EDIT: Looks like there was an error with the m3u URL as well.

Just updated to 7.0.5.260307 and the descriptions are much cleaner with no display errors so far however there was sighning/subtitle tags on the end of the description which isn't there now. Is this expected?
In recent days, NextPVR.exe has been closing down on its own after variable amounts of time playing a live channel.
For troubleshooting purposes, which would be better to post here -- the NPVR logs or Windows's Event Viewer? I'll be happy to upload the indicated files.
I searched the forum but couldn't find an answer to my question, hoping someone can help.
I need the recordings to be a video file only, NOT housed in a folder. My NAS cannot see the video file if its in a folder. Can i set the recordings to just save a video file and that's it?
I am running NextPVR on my Kodi and I noticed something strange is happening every night. No Matter what time of the morning or afternoon I start Kodi, all listings in the tv guide are blank after about 1 AM. Everyday is like this. I wake up and even let's say, 5-6 am I turn Kodi on and the guide listings are good and everything is ok, until you scroll all the way to 1 am then all blank?
PVR settings in Kodi are set to show 3 days in advance.
While this is not a MAJOR issue (all guide listings during day/night do work and show, except for anything past 1 am and between 1 am and about 2-3 am I am assuming), I would like to set some Timers that might not air until the next morning and currently, unless you wake up really early that day and catch it the same morning you are out of luck.
NEXTPVR settings have auto update sets at the default time (2:44) in the windows app.
