Recording fail on iptv channel

[3grg]

I have used NextPVR for years on W10 and had no issues recording of the air programs.

I recently upgraded to a new W11 system and transferred everything over to that system. I can report that off the air recording continues to work without issue.

I decided to add a few IPTV channels and I have been able to do short notice scheduling of recordings for some channels without issue. (guide does not populate very many hours)

On other channels, I can schedule a recording and leave the computer awake and come back to find that the recording either only lasts a few minutes or failed due to recording service not running.

The system is set to sleep after 2 hours inactivity and turn off screen after 1 hour.

It seems to be able to wake up and record off the air on the tuner just fine.

I expect this is something I missed in the iptv setup. Any help is appreciated. example log attached

You missed attaching the zipped logs. Be aware the some lists you find on the Internet are not stable or aren't designed to be streamed without a custom player. Some PlutoTV streams are really bad for playback because of the inserted ads that corrupt the timeline (this is why I wrote an Extra (custom NextPVR tuner) for recording PlutoTV. Your streams may have a similar problem.

I attached log and it said it was successful, Sorry if it did not come through.
Yes the problem channels were pluto ones.
Where do I look for custom tuner? (sorry I have trouble finding my way with this iptv stuff)

found the extra pluto tuner on github
I will look into this
thanks!

Ok. I wrote the extra but personally I don't feel PlutoTV offerings are worth the effort. Note when we ask for logs we want all the logs that you get from the web page.

I tried to follow the install procedure. Maybe I am thick, but I was unclear whether I just needed to install streamlink and the plutotv files to script or rhe optional steps or vod are needed as well.
I copied the line for epg to epg .bat

Never mind I think I answered my own questions

Like I posted, I don't think it is worth the effort but you must follow all the steps here https://github.com/sub3/NextPVR/wiki/Extra-PlutoTV and as noted VOD is optional.

Ignore setting up the guide until you get the channels playing.
