Kodi Leia on Shield - issue playing while recording

Kodi v18.6 on Nvidia Shield 2019
NextPVR Client 3.3.19
NextPVR Version: 5.0.4.200428 on Windows 10

For some time now (at least weeks, including when using the earlier 5.0.3 NextPVR) I've noticed that Kodi has been randomly dropping out of playing a recording while it is recording. Doesn't matter if I started recording 2 minutes vs 20 minutes ago, it may just suddenly return to the Kodi record menu. Typically it first happens about eight minutes after I start playing.

If I go back in, I'm usually given a "resume from" option, but sometimes it just starts again at the beginning.

It can sometimes recur - even several times - but doesn't always. If I happen to be towards the end of the recorded time (e.g. 2-3 minutes from the end), the problem seems to be more frequent, but I wouldn't say it's reliably related to that issue.

Usually it's while I'm watching something like a scheduled news recording, typically about 20 minutes behind live time. I will ordinarily be skipping commercials when they happen, thus slowly getting closer to the end of the still-accumulating recorded data as time goes on. There may be manual pauses as well as skips but it doesn't happen in association with them (e.g. immediately after one) and I've certainly seen it happen when there have been none such, i.e. just start playing it and it may happen eight or so minutes later.

I did some testing with logs on and have provided a log where I saw it happen roughly eight minutes into playing the Formula E - Race At Home program. I'd started playing it about eight minutes after it started recording, but the coincidence in times is just that I think.

Note that an earlier test of a "Army Wives" recording where I started playing about 20 minutes after recording started didn't show the problem.

I hope this provides enough info to go on, it's certainly happening often enough in my setup that it should be observable in similar conditions.  Thanks!

I still haven't figured out how to attach zipfiles on this forum "Browse and add attachment? What browse?" - so for the time being the logs will be at https://www.dropbox.com/s/oo9fav0w3smzy1...i.zip?dl=0

For Matrix I will try and put more time into this issue. It seems to be related to http and skipping after the original start time. It is a pain to test because I don't watch recordings this way I use comskip. I suggest not using skip to catch up on in progress recordings. I will try and follow the logs through.

Sub do you know what those blank Duration log lines mean?

Basically, hit the 'preview post' button below, so that it switches to the full reply editor, then scroll down a bit and you'll see the attachment panel. You can drag an drop files there, or if you click that panel, it'll popup a file browser window.

Noted, thanks. Had found it at least once previously but not in the heat of the moment today - then I noticed the drag-and-drop area just as I was hitting Submit on my post above Rolleyes .

They don't mean anything significant. They were just debug messages to enable me to set breakpoints when certain ffmpeg output messages happened, so I could look at some strings.

I've removed these log lines for the next build.

@PeterWeb I have been testing with Matrix and I believe I have a solution that is an easy backport. If you are able to test this I will build it so let me know.

Regarding not saving near the end. I recommend you read this https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Modify_aut...ume_points and consider using 0 for

<ignorepercentatend>0</ignorepercentatend>

Otherwise if you or the client stops within the default 8% of a recording in progress the resume point won't get saved.
