2.14 Some recordings won't stop on HDHR

[roy]

Can you check if it always happens in this scenario.

That scenario has always happened, even pre 2.1.4. But the recording that doesn't stop is new to 2.1.4. Now tonight I think I've duplicated the recording not stopping.

At 11:15, Recordings shows Baseball and Extra Innings as recording (which is what should be), but device status shows Extra Innings and Louie recording (which is what is actually happening). Louie should have stopped at 11:01.

At 11:30 Recordings showed Baseball stop, but Device status showed Extra innings stop.
At 11:31 Recordings showed Extra Innings stop. Device status still shows Louie recording, and it is.

Logs attached.

That scenario has always happened, even pre 2.1.4.

I'm wasnt talking about which tuner it uses. I'm specifically referring to it not stopping when you have two back-to-back recordings on the HD-PVR.

Just to clarify, is this problem with an HDHR tuner or an HD-PVR?

Sorry, typo. Roy is using analog.

The original question from nia was about an HDHR using DVB-C though.

I'll test more to see if it always happens. I don't have HDHR or HD-PVR, just per my sig.

I've also got recordings not stopping. In the attached logs from tonight, Big Brother and Expedition Impossible both recorded for the 1 hour expected, but Love Bites and Rookie Blue recorded for almost 2.5 hours. (I believe that they recorded until I stopped the recording service to put in the patched nextpvr.exe to fix the last recording date problem.)

Also, when I was trying to watch Rookie Blue via the PCH, when it gets to the first commercial skip point, the playback jumps WAY too far (past the end of the 1 hour show into the next show).

Also, looking at the logs a bit more, it appears the NRecord "thinks" that it finished recording Rookie Blue and Love Bites after an hour and launched the postprocessing.bat file:

Code:

However, it appears to continue to write to the .ts files. So, my postprocessing log shows:

Code:

Where comskip is launched on the .ts files at 22:02, but continues to run because the .ts files continue to grow until 23:29 when I stopped the recording service.

I scheduled several back to back recordings last night. This morning, recordings showed all completed, but device status showed King of the hill and Married with children still recording, and they were.

I've also got recordings not stopping. In the attached logs from tonight, Big Brother and Expedition Impossible both recorded for the 1 hour expected...

Actually, since I just watched the recordings of these 2, I found that their actual length is 1:01. So, it appears that the 1 minute pre-padding was honored, but the 2 minute post-padding still was NOT honored. (Note, I've got 4 tuners available, so all of the padding could have been honored.)

Note: I might have to downgrade to previous version temporarily tomorrow due to vacation, unless you have a bleeding edge fix for me to test. Otherwise, I'll be back in a good weeks time.

I'm off tomorrow on vacation for a week also, hoping that I don't come home to a hard drive filled with non stopped recordings. :o
