I use NPVR to record mainly HD TV in the UK, using a pair of Hauppage WinTV-dualHD DVB devices. While the recordings are fairly high quality, each typically has a handful of "glitches" where the sound and image are disrupted for about 1s. I have confirmed that the glitches are present in the original MPEG-2 files exported by NPVR, and are not an artefact of the conversion to MP4 although this can make the fault a bit more "obvious".
The glitches occur on all channels, although they are rarer on SD recordings. We rarely if ever see the same issue on live TV, so it's not related to quality or strength of original signal.
The recording system has a 12-core gen 11 i7 processor with 32GB RAM and is usually lightly loaded at common recording times, so system capacity is unlikely to be an issue.
The glitches also occurred on my old i7-based system. However in December through January this year I temporarily moved recording to a much older system with a Xeon processor (using the same tuners and signal source), and the frequency of glitches was noticeably much lower. This suggests to me that there might be some oddity specific to the combination of hardware, or other software on the newer system.
What I'd appreciate at this stage is guidance on how to log NPVR and related activity so we can find out what's happening when a glitch occurs, and if NPVR offers any diagnosis of the issue. Unless I'm missing something there are no obvious "log level" settings in the NPVR client or web settings, is that correct?
Hey everyone. I know there is an app that connects to your Nextpvr server so that you can ch3ck on it and everything. But, does anyone know it is it possible to connect to the Nextpvr server and recording shows on a mobile browser like Chrome browser on your phone?
Thanks for the new Release.

I’m having an issue with NextPVR not picking an unused tuner to record while I’m watching live tv. I will be watching a show and rather than start recording with an available tuner a message pops up asking something like if I want to switch channels to record or to keep watching live tv and skip the recording. I then have to exit live tv and wait for the recording to start and then when I go back to live tv it will select a different tuner. I have a total of four tuners. Any ideas why it does this. I am running the latest version.
It has been a while since I last posted. Had not had any issues till now.
I would like to know if there is a way to force start the service? I am talking about the icon in the task bar. When the service is not running it is a Grey N icon. When the service is running it is a green N icon.
Thank you for your time.

This is not a disk space problem, at least it should not be. But I'm betting it is.
Playback just pauses. No errors, no messages. I have plenty of space on the live buffer drive. I suspect something is writing to the Windows drive, which as you can see is not available for writing.
What options do I have to provide you with information that would be helpful?
I do not see an option to attach things, so I will submit and try to attach later.
