Thanks - that set of logs definitely looks more like I was expecting them to look. I'll check why it's different while it's in-progress.

Do you get no audio/video when you try?

Yes once the stream loses ts stream sync (as shown by the reader automaps) it is dead.

Hmm not really sure why that is happening for you guys yet. It is working here (albeit with skipping issue)

Are you testing to a networked server? I can't duplicate it to my local server but my networked production server fails every time.

Same here. NLite works on the server. Logs attached including a screenshot comparing the 2 logs.

sub,
This may be related to the skipping issue. (with NLite)
For the in progress recordings that I can watch, I'm seeing some strange timeline and skipping behavior.
Skipping forward shows 30 second increments on the timeline, but the playback appears to only skip a few seconds forward. I can't tell how much exactly, but the timeline does show 30 seconds skipped.
Once the show has stopped recording, the timeline shows something less than the actual recording length. Playback will hit the end of the timeline, however it will keep playing the full recording to the end of what was scheduled.
Hopefully I've explained this well enough. I'm assuming this is the same issue you are seeing, but if not, let me know if you need any clarification or logs, etc.

Sub,
I'm just curious, why would the logs be so different (mainly the decoder loading) between the server and client playing the same recording?

More details:
When I watch a recording in progress, the timeline gets messed up. Showing something shorter than the actual length after the recording is complete. Skipping behavior is affected as well. If I re-record the show and wait until it has completed, I don't see this issue.
I can watch the same recording via Emby Theater or the Jellyfin client and both show the correct timeline (when the recording is complete).

Is there a way to easily reset the timeline in NPVR? Otherwise, for now I will avoid the issue and wait for the recordings to complete.

This was noted in testing and is fixed in the next server side release. The only solution now if you don't watch a recording in progress to the end is to restart the server. It has nothing to do with the core issue or nlite not playing in-progress recordings, so I am confused why it is in this thread.

Martin,
Thanks. I'm seeing the problem in NLite on a windows client over the network. I realize there is ongoing work and thought maybe this would provide more detail than I had provided before.
