Some solutions - some questions

I did finally get an opportunity to update both machines to 2.6.2 - need to do more testing, but did have an instance where client-machine playback of a recording in progress on host halted at 2 mins after - the prescribed end time for the recording. I will test a variety of scenarios to confirm. Bummer.

I tested it several times when sub posted the patch during pre-release testing, and a couple more times with the following pre-release and never had it fail. I suspect your problem on that occaision was something else; PC clients are a little more sensitive to stream glitches and network issues.

For those using HDHomeRun dual and possibly having issues with skip and ff/rw not functioning properly with some recordings, I seem to have solved it by using the HDHomerun config utility and selecting generic ATSC/QAM as application rather than NPVR. Seems counter-intuitive, I know, but before selecting that, every FOX affiliate ATSC or QAM recording of some length I made, as well as some ABC ones, would hang or lock on a skip, precluding the use of comskip. Will monitor - seems to work reliably now. Have not tried any other HDHR application profiles yet to see if others would work as well or better. I think the channels in question were recorded with ts files that contained timing errors - and now they are not!

After almost two months, I can confirm that I have not had this issue since changing the HDHomeRun Setup to "Other: ATSC/QAM". I would have to recommend that this be the default setting for NextPVR.
