Random recordings fail.

[stat]

I'm trying to ascertain why The Last Leg failed to record last night, I have an empty .ts file.
Running version  Version: 7.0.3.250920   on Windows.
I download the logs I see lots of files, but no recording history from yesterday the 30th, everything is from today the 31st.

Oh man now I have to go down the NextPVR rabbit hole. So 2 recordings out of 10 fail.
I can't view live TV from TV guide, says "browser stopped playback", adblock is off.
But NextPVR web app live TV works great, each channel streams perfectly, as does tivimate and android app.
Just tried to record another news program, stops after 15 seconds with...
"HttpIOException: The response ended prematurely. (ResponseEnded)"
"ffmpeg exited. Likely end of VOD."

ChatGPT says...
✅ NextPVR Web App (working)

• Uses the modern web player
  
• Typically HLS (segmented streaming)
  
• Browser-friendly
  
• Much more tolerant of stream quirks
  

❌ “Watch” from TV Guide (failing)

• Uses the legacy web playback path
  
• Often direct TS → browser
  
• Relies on:
  • browser codec support
    
  • autoplay permissions
    
  • correct MIME types
    
• Much easier to break
  

So your system is basically saying:

“The stream is fine — but this playback method isn’t.”

I dont see HLS settings..

The real fix (recommended)
✅ Force HLS everywhere
In NextPVR:

1. Go to
   Settings → Playback
   
2. Enable:
   • Use HLS for web playback
     
3. Save
   
4. Restart the NextPVR service

Unfortunately because you leave your browser running constantly you spam the logs and the information is lost. Best to exit the browser app you want to track this.

Your ChatGPT information is useless hallucinations from Jellyfin or Emby, NextPVR will record HLS if you have set up an m3u8 playlist.
