Recordings truncated

[lkraus]

I'm running into a problem lately with my recorded programs being cut short. Sometimes I get nearly all the show, sometimes only a minute or two.  As best I can understand the log, the programs are being received, but not recorded. In the log file for tonight (2021-03-09), I see NCIS being received from 20:00 to 21:00, but the actual .ts file is only the first 1:21 of the show.

I do see "[ERROR][9] writer.Close() did not complete in a timely fashion".

This has been happening for the past couple weeks, but some shows record completely while others are incomplete. Any suggestions for correcting this problem?

Do you have any error messages in the Windows events viewer?  Your logs are not very clean, the server is closed abruptly too often.

For the avoidance of doubt ... How big is the .ts file for this recording?  ... And the other side of the same coin ... Is the recording also truncated if played in VLC?

March 2, NCIS.S18E08.True Believer.ts, 2,221,143,484 bytes, 23:22, should be 1 hour.
March 9, NCIS-S18E09-Winter Chill.ts, 129,318,912 bytes, 1:21, should be 1 hour.
March 11, Young Sheldon-S04E11-A Pager, a Club and a Cranky Bag of Wrinkles.ts, 545,910,784 bytes, 5:44 should be 30 minutes.
After "Young Sheldon" was truncated on the 11th, two other shows were properly recorded for their full 30 minutes.
File sizes seem to match the length of the recordings. Duration matches in file properties and VLC.
The time stamp on the truncated files indicate that they are being saved after the show is over.
No errors or warnings in events viewer in the relevant time periods.

For Young Sheldon, the logs show that data stopped being delivered from the HDHR and oddily the byte don't match what is on the test.

2021-03-11 20:05:50.638 [DEBUG][148] Have received 646738988 bytes from rtp source
2021-03-11 20:06:01.203 [DEBUG][148] Have received 650533016 bytes from rtp source

Sorry no suggestions.

Hmmm....

May have to start watch live while it's recording to see if the HDHomeRun is getting flaky.  I've not seen any issues while watching other programs.
