Live TV stops streaming at 7 minutes

[kevin350]

Updated to 5.1.2.210603 today (from 5.1.1.210329 I believe, but not sure) and now live TV streaming stops at about 7 minutes using either Kodi or broswer. I have also removed the program (without removing data) and re-installed but have the same issue. NPVR is running on a Windows 10 Intel NUC. Log files attached, first attempt was Kodi and second was the browser.
There does not seem to be a delay in the startup when I switch to a channel, and I see that in the "changes" for this newest version that this issue should be fixed but I still see it. Thanks for any help.

Yes you are seeing the same thing another user experienced

Could you follow this step

Registry key added, new log and writer files attached. Once again I did two runs, first Kodi and second browser. Both stopped at about 6min 45 seconds or so.

Thanks for the test logs, it does look like the roll should happen. At this point it would be up to sub so just like the other user you will need to greatly increase your buffer.

Does it make any difference if you temporary stop the NextPVR Recording Service, and instead manually run NextPVRServer.exe and try again?

[kevin350]

Stopping the service and running NextPVRServer.exe gave the same result, exits after about 7 minutes. Log files attached. Thanks for looking into this!

Is there a way you can watch the live tv folder do you see it creating the -2 file. If not are you running any special disk cache

I got exact the same Problem.
Live TV always stops at one third of the Live TV Buffer Time.

NPVR is running on Windows 10 Pro  21H1  19043.1052  ( Intel Apollo Lake ,4gb Ram and a cheap 64gb SSD ).
NPVR is a fresh Installation  with Version 5.1.2.210603  

For testing i set the Buffer time  to 3 Minutes, so it stops after 1 minute. Log Files and Writer File are attached to this Post.
Also i see NPVR is  creating a second .ts File before it stops,but the 2nd file stays at size of 0kb .

[kevin350]

Yes, I watched my temp folder and right before the stream stopped the second file was created. Then the stream stopped and a few seconds later all 3 files were deleted. The drive is a Samsung SSD but the only caching is the standard Windows write-cache. I did disable it and tried again, streaming still stopped as before. I did not install any of the Samsung disk management software. I was able to get a quick screen snip when the 2nd file was created.

Could you copy it to another file right after you see it pop up? You have a few seconds and it might not be really zero.
