Streams and Recording Stuttering and Pixelated

[dj200psi]

Hello,

Only recently my NEXTPVR server has been playing my channels back in a stuttered and pixelated manner.  I thought it may have been my upgrade to Windows 11 but so I switched to my spare Win10 pc to test.  Same thing unfortunately.  

I have attached the logs.  




Thanks.

That sounds like reception/signal errors.

If you've got sample recording you can share, I'll take a look to see if that is likely the case.

Your logs might also be backing it up:

2023-09-20 10:52:46.559 [DEBUG][4] locked=1, present=1, strength=20, quality=20 (took 0ms to check)

But it's hard to know for sure because some drivers don't actually report real stats.

Yeah, we did have a storm come through mid-last week here in my city. Maybe damage to the antenna point? All other tv points in the house work, as in clear signal with no signal loss or interruption. Maybe just that point? I will try to move the mini pc to another location to test.

Thank you.

Yeah could be something like that. Antenna may have moved, or bars fallen off or something.

PC tuners often need better signal than the much bigger tuners used in TVs.

Maybe temporary remove any splitters to see if it helps.
