By the way, I have been having a similar problem where the screen would go blank, and then I have to do something with the remote for it to show backup. I have been meaning to get logs but never got around to it. It really confuses my kids.
While recording a couple of programs, I intentionally shutdown the recording service. I did this in order to implement 3.8.3 this evening. I fully expected to have a "service was restarted" message, with a related loss of a couple minutes of data. I then installed 3.8.3, and restarted the service and NPVR task. Everything worked as expected.
When I restarted NPVR, the recording service restarted the recording, as expected. However, it also deleted the orphan/loose/incomplete initial 27 minute recording. Had that not occurred, I would have been able to watch the complete program (minus the missing 2 minutes that were lost). What I got was a single file that was the final/2nd half of the program with a suffix of "-0".
The program in question was "On The Record with Brit Hume". The failure is described in Nrecord.log.1 at: 2016-09-27 19:27:57.074 [DEBUG][13] - deleting extra recording: E:\Recorded TV\On the Record With Brit Hume\On the Record With Brit Hume_20160927_19002000.ts (9/27/2016 11:00:09 PM)
I believe that it is normal for NPVR to restart a recording, in the event there is a system error or other catastrophic failure. If that is true, then I believe there's a problem. This has been happening since I started playing with NPVR, and I've reported it before. Each time I report it, I'm told that I should not interrupt recordings, but that doesn't make sense to me.
Just got a letter from Comcast today indicating they are moving to MPEG-4 stream on their cable cards. As I have a HDHomeRun, I am a little concerned, however it appears that Silicon Dust HDHR device supports the MP4 format (aka H264 stream).
Not sure what other devices this may affect, thought I'd share the information...
I used the new browser tv guide in 3.7.7 and it worked but could not delete recordings. I upgraded to 3.83 and the new browser tv guide worked and had the 3 new buttons. I tried the delete one. The browser hung. When I tried to reload it I got the following message over and over again: System.Web.HttpException: The current identity (NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM) does not have write access to 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files'. My windows anniversary system 10 does not have a Temporary ASP.NET Files folder so I created one and gave it the highest sharing and control permissions.
I get the same error but the folder I created has a bunch of folders and files in it now. Any similar experiences and a solution?

After this post I checked out the contents of the empty C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files folder I created yesterday. Sometime during today its contents were put into that empty folder. When I saw that I was able to successfully bring up the web browser version of the TV Guide.
I just upgraded from 3.6.6 to 3.8.3, and I have noticed that the "Play" and "Stream" buttons have been replaced by a "Watch" button. I do love the new UI ...
But, now when I hit "Watch" on the web UI, the default seems to launch the internal streaming player, which causes the NPVR host to jump to nearly 100% CPU. I believe that this is due to the streaming player requesting a transcoded video file format, which maxes out my host NPVR CPU. The video will start, but repeatedly rebuffers during playback (I gave up years ago trying to transcode HDTV .ts files on my HTPC).
Whenever I hit "Play" in the old web UI, it first opens a M3U file that links to the TV program on the host NPVR shows volume. I can choose a media player at this point, which is usually VLC, and then the .ts (HD transport stream) file is played directly over my network just fine with VLC. No buffering, or dropouts encountered. The NPVR host PC does not work hard very with this task, as the CPU remains below 10% at all times in this case.
This is not a showstopper, because I can still launch the old web UI. But I was wondering if there are any other solutions, or if am I overlooking something simple?
I've noticed quite a few forum posters explaining that they entered a command at a suitable command prompt and "nothing happened." I, too, have noticed this uneasy result even though something happened and the problem did get fixed.
I'd like to suggest that a single line be written to the display showing the result of the command. A simple "Command completed without error." would leave one warm and fuzzy.
First let me say that I did a search before starting this thread as requested.
I have dozens of programs recorded, but the Recording page shows only those recorded last night. Frankly can't say if this occured just this morning or has been happening from the get go. Been dealing with NextPVR issues, Schedules Direct issues, NextEnd issues, and Windows 10 issues on two computers as well as preparing for new furnace and air conditioning.
