Half of the time it Only Recording a couple seconds of show since upgrade

[tnewman]

Since the upgrade of nextpvr half the time it only records a couple seconds of my recordings and stops.
I have used this for a while now and never had an issue.
This happened with Supernatural on 10/21/2015
My tuner is a HDHomerun
I've restarted my machine and my network tuner but I'm still seeing this issue.
I've attached my logs.
Any direction on where to go?

... it only records a couple seconds of my recordings and stops.

I see this in the log ...

Are you using "over the air" EPG for some channels?

[dixxfixx]

I am not a log ninja like some people, but I am trying to learn. I see a huge amount of EPG activity during the recordings. Is this normal? I think the recordings seem to start and stop at the right time, but maybe all this EPG activity is strangling it.

[tnewman]

Yeah I do have over the air EPG turned on for some channels, the ones i care about I am using zap2xml with.
Should I disable it with this new version?
It wasn't turned on for the Supernatural recording I used in my example.

If you look at the recording directory, do the files keep growing while recording (but not playable), or do they stop growing after a few seconds?

If you run the HDHomeRun Config utility, does it say it's still locked onto a channel and streaming?

[tnewman]

No the files sizes are very small and when I play them it only plays a couple seconds.
No the HDHomeRun Config Utility does not show that it is locked.
I ran some test records yesterday with the over the air epg turned off and 1 out of the 4 shows I recorded did the same thing as the logs i posted previously.

No the HDHomeRun Config Utility does not show that it is locked.

Ah, so the Config utility is not showing the signal is locked? ie, you have a bad signal, the device lost the signal, and no data is being sent to NextPVR.

[tnewman]

I misunderstood your question. Yes the config utility locks on the channel. It actually records 2 to 5 seconds of the show. It's a cable feed I'm streaming so the feed is constant and streams fine.

Can you grab a screenshot of the config utility when it's in this state, ie NextPVR is recording but file isn't growing.

[tnewman]

Here ya go. With a little more digging I am noticing that it is also freezing up when I try to stream a channel live not just recording and its only on a few channels. Its weird because it will play for like a second and freeze, but if you close it and open it back up it streams fine. And I never see the live stream freeze directly from the tuner at all if I launch the stream right into vlc. Thanks for all the help.
