I'm getting two issues which may result from the same problem. When scheduling recordings NPVR doesn't always warn if there isn't a tuner free like it used to, it will schedule them and as a result padding is ignored and sometimes recordings fail.
Here is a screenshot of the status window taken at 22:01, logs are attatched too:
I had 4 recordings scheduled, 1 HD to end at 22:00 and three SD to start at 22:00, all recordings had 5 mins pre and post padding.

Stopped recording at 22:00 but stayed in the status window untill 22:05

The padding is essential because programs don't always stick to the scheduled times.
Another more serious situation I've had a few times is recordings stopping completely, I set several recording over the evening, one of them started recording including the padding, another due to start at the same time with the same padding started but without the padding and stopped the other recording, so all I got of the first recording was the 5 mins of pre padding and the second recording had the start cut off because the pre padding wasn't recorded. If this happens again I'll post the logs.
It seems NPVR has stopped been able to recognise if a tuner is free when scheduling recordings and so tuners are double booked, then when a recording begins it starts juggleing them around but can't keep them all in the air because there arent enough tuners.
