Recording Service Stops

[rwnz]

I've had NPVR operating OK on this PC running Win 7 32 bit but have clean installed Win 10 64 bit and have then found some programs have failed to record despite the TV Guide showing them as going to. Restarting the Recording Service seems to resolve this but I've had it happen more than once. Any thoughts why it may be stopping please?

You need to zip and post your logs after it stops, they may provide a clue as to what is going on.

I had a problem a couple of years ago where my recording service would randomly stop after a few days on a Win 7 system. I added the following to PostEPGUpdate.bat (shamelessly copied from a post somewhere in these forums!) to force a nightly reboot and haven't had a problem since. Plus, it just seems that Windows works better after a reboot.

echo off
REM Reboot if not recording
set NSHelper=c:\"program files (x86)"\npvr\nscripthelper.exe

:check
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%i in ('%NSHelper% -isinuse') do SET condition=%%i
echo %condition%
IF %condition% =="NOT RECORDING" goto reboot

:delay
sleep 60
goto check

:reboot

echo "About to reboot"
shutdown /r
