Seeking Guidance on Recording Settings for IPTV Channels

[Gonvir]

I'm new to NextPVR and have recently set it up to work with my IPTV provider. The setup went smoothly, and I'm able to watch live TV without issues. However, I'm encountering some difficulties when it comes to recording IPTV channels.

Specifically, when I schedule a recording, it doesn't always start at the correct time, and sometimes the recordings are incomplete or fail entirely. I've double-checked the EPG data, and it seems accurate. I'm wondering if there are specific settings or best practices for recording IPTV streams effectively.

Here are some details about my setup:

NextPVR Version: 5.2.7.220410

Operating System: Windows 10 Pro

IPTV Source: M3U playlist with XMLTV EPG

Recording Directory: D:\Recordings

I've read through some forum posts and the wiki but haven't found a definitive answer. Could someone please advise on the optimal settings for recording IPTV channels?

We'd probably need to see the logs to tell you why it failed.

Ultimately IPTV services are often fairly crappy, with channels often disappearing and reappearing, and connections not consistently staying up for long periods. ie, often good enough for a quick check to look like the channels are working, but connections unable to stay up for a full hour for a recording. Some IPTV services are much better than others.

Running that obsolete version I figure this was a ChatBot so I am not expecting logs.
