NextPVR IPTV recording - Parts are duplicated in the recording.

[Buckaragua]

When I record the BBC oder BBC2 via IPTV, regulary parts of the record are double.

When playing the file, he jumps back 20 seconds and plays the last 20 seconds again. And this happens in the broken parts every 30 seconds or so. Some parts are even tripled. In the end the half an hour recording ist 2 hours long.
When I record 4 hours of snooker, the result is usually around 6,5 hours. Parts are ok, parts are broken.

Another problem:
Records from BBC4 have no soundtrack.

For the first issue you may need to use a .ts stream not m3u8 from your provider or potentially change the config.xml file for this to true.

<UseFinalM3U8>true</UseFinalM3U8>

Otherwise NextPVR doesn't control want your provider sends.

For BBC 4 did you check your player and try and change the audio track. Not much we can do to diagnose this unless you PM me the URL, clearly most users have audio on BBC4.

The Channels came from an personal m3u file, where I collected the channels, but in Nextpvr every channel is an ts-link.
The problem exists only with BBC1HD and BBC2HD, every other channel will be normal recorded. And the problem is occuring only in part of the recording. I.E. 2 Hours normal, half an hour broken(=2 hours then), 2 hours normal.

As for BBC4, there is not audio channel in the recording (VLC, SM Player, TS Doctor). When playing the link via VLC, there is normal audio.

For TS files NextPVR just downloads them as is. Without the original link nothing can be done. It is possible these "found" links are being changed by the owner. For the audio issue we might be able to solve it with the actual URL.

I will send you a pm with the links tomorrow.

I got your links and since they are from an Xtream panel you can change the ts to m3u8. However since your account only allows one connection you need to make sure that your account is not in use on another PC.

BBC 4 won't have programming or audio for a couple of hours.

you can change the ts to m3u8

This part I do not know what to make about it.

I have two connections in my account. 99% of the time I use the account only with Nextpvr.  The next 30 hours (at least) I will use only one connection.

Yes, BBC4 runs only parttime, and the snooker masters is almost over and will not be run on BBC4 anymore this year. The BBC4 problem we can ignore for now, perhaps the problem will resolve itself soon.

The BBC2 problem is there for a long time. First time was in May 2025, and it happend quite often. I have hoped a new version of NextPVR would solve it, but this did not happen.

The panel is not reporting 2 so contact your provider

"max_connections": "1",

BBC 4 is showing off the air here again, but I am not sure that is true.

You can edit your playlist and change .ts to .m3u8

You are right, I have only one connection now. It was 2 connections for years, they downgraded it sometime and I did not recognized it until now. And maybe this was the problem!

My complete playlist that I imported ist m3u. When I change a single channel from .ts to .m3u8, the channel does not work.

Thank you,
