TV recordings via Emby failed

[pnwtn]

Hi,

All my TV recordings (via Emby and its Next PVR plugin) during the evening of 2023-01-07 failed. An earlier recording made in the afternoon succeeded, as have all subsequent recordings. I don't know what was different about the load and/or usage of the system (Windows 11) that evening.

Regards,
Phil

Emby recordings are just Live TV for us. The logs get a bit confusing because Emby retried every 3 minute or they are very short shows.

What is consistent is each attempt data stopped being received for the 15 second live TV threshold.

Code:

Can you watch Live TV on BBC TWO in NextPVR today?

Yes, no problems today with Live TV on BBC TWO in NextPVR. All has been perfectly fine since that evening.

Just to note that the problem occurred again and this time I was able to see that one of the two tuners on my TV tuner card was the problem. I disabled the bad one and was able to record using the other tuner for a while. Then that one failed as well. Now I've binned the tv tuner card and bought an HDHomeRun to replace it and I'm very happy with that.
