Hi Support
Found an interesting bug in NextPVR v2.4.2 this weekend.'
If the program tries to update the EPG during the time a program is recording, the recording process stops even though the 'system plugin' says it is still recording, the 'NEWA desktop gadget' still says its recording as does the 'Devices status' panel. The funny thing is that although the actual recording is stopped the PC does not return to sleep mode until the time that it should if the recording had continued.
Example.
Today Sunday 15 April UK, BBC1 Chinese F1 Grand Prix, program start time 7:00 AM program finish time 10:15 AM.
I record my programs with 15 minutes padding both before and after the start and finish time. I also have the EPG update to run at 7:AM every day.
Today: PC woke from sleep a few seconds before 6:45 AM and started to record at 6:45, the PC went back to sleep after 10:30 AM as expected and all the time reported that the program was being recorded.
When I inspected the recorded .ts file it was only 17:41.19 minutes long which means that it stopped recording 2 minutes 41 seconds after the 7:00 AM EPG update time, presumably while the EPG update was processing.
This is not the only instance exactly the same thing happened the day before when I attempted to record the F1 Qualifying session which also covered the 7:00 AM time period.
OK so there is a short term simple solution, which is to update the EPG at 3:00 AM when hopefully nothing is recording and if there is change the update time again not elegant but will work until a fix is found.
For the EPG I use XMLTV (mc2xml) and for the few channels without an XMLTV listing DVB/ATSC.
I hope someone knows of a good solution or can fix the bug.
Regards Bob
