Scheduled Late Night through-midnight recordings suddenly stop at midnight

[Andre_Mikulec]

Hi,

I am using the latest version of NextPVR Version: 7.0.1.241229 on Windows 11.
I live in the Eastern Time zone in the USA.
My timezone is EDT(UTC-4) (by using time.gov).

I like to record Late Night comedy shows: Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and Taylor Tomlinson(After Midnight).

I like to watch the recordings during the next day (during daylight).

I have two(2) TV tuners.

Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert start approximately near 11:30 p.m. and end approximately at 30 minutes after midnight.  I record these in parallel.

Seth Meyers, and Taylor Tomlinson(After Midnight) start approximately near 1:30 a.m. and end approximately at 2:30 a.m.  I record these in parallel.

Typically, I create a recording either by 

(1) using the TV Guide and clicking Record Series. or by
(2) using the Scheduler to do a Manual recording  
 
The recordings that start approximately near 1:30 a.m. and end approximately at 2:30 a.m. comprise of 60 minutes of video (as expected). 

The recordings (Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert) that  start approximately near 11:30 p.m. and end approximately at 30 minutes after midnight comprise of only 30 minutes of video.  These are short of the 60 minutes expected.

For some strange reason the 11:30 p.m. recordings stop suddenly at midnight instead of recording through-midnight to 30 minutes after midnight.

I have checked the nrecord logs.  No errors exist.  Also, my PostProcessing.bat starts too early at midnight instead of at 30 minutes after midnight.

I checked the Schedule Recurring description of the start time and end time.
I checked the table RECURRING_RECORDING  (I am at EDT(UTC-4)  StartTime and EndTime.
These two values were scheduled before midnight and after midnight.

This "stop at midnight" problem seems strange.
What should I do next?

Thank you.

Post the logs showing the problem and we'll take a look.

All,

I attempted to record last last night and early this morning.
Attached are the logs.

Here are some details.

Both "Stephen Colbert" and "Jimmy Kimmel" unexpectantly stop recording new video
at 12:09 a.m., however, NextPVR still thinks the recordings are going
and writes last to the files at 12:33 a.m.  See the (***).

Also,
Let me change, some of my initial statements.

1. My PostProcessing.bat files both ran at about 12:33:00 AM (like they should and at the correct time).

2. Seth Meyers, and Taylor Tomlinson(After Midnight): if they has started recording would have began approximately near 12:30 a.m. (not 1:30 a.m.) and end approximately at 1:30 a.m. (not 2:30 a.m.).

Yes your tuner is stalling during the recording and NextPVR can't control it. Check your drivers.
