Hello,
I have a recording that seems to have been cut short recording but will play to completion in VLC.
It is Mrs Doubtfire recorded back on 1-19-23 at 7:12 to 9:23 am.  
I suspect this the same that is happening with my Mothers nextpvr as well.

Which NextPVR player/client shows it short?

Within NextPVR and windows media player. In Nextpvr it stops and says it is the end of the recording at 1 hr 37 min. In Windows Media Player it runs into problems 1 hr 37 min into the recording. In VLC it plays to completion.
Thank you,

That recorded stream definitely needs a remux so it will depend on the player's remux so it is probably a source issue. If it happens often you will need to post process your recordings.

Ok, How/what process would I need to do to post process it?

This issue seems to have started with NextPVR ver 5 and ver 6. Never had this issue on ver 4. I just migrated over to ver 6 recently. My Mother has had 5 and 6 and has complained of this issue.

Any Thoughts?

Thank you

No this is source issue, the file has bad timestamps and junk in the file, talk to your provider if you really want a solution. It is hard for a player to get good time stamps and skip in this file. It is likely playable but not skipping is not something IPTV providers care about.

In general a simple remux is

Code:
ffmpeg -i filename -c copy -c:s copy newfilename
Depend
ing on your player because this is h264/aac I would remux it to seekable mp4

Code:
ffmpeg.exe" -i filename -c copy -c:s copy -movflags faststart newfilename.mp4

since that can play nicely in the NextPVR web player. You can experiment with the web player options to generate mp4 files too.

I do all this in a cmd window? This is a first for me.

Also what shall I say to my provider?
As always that you.

Yes but sorry I am not going to spend time of this as I have noted to others I don't support using ffmpeg, it's too much trouble. You can find ffmpeg in C:\Program File\NextPVR\Other so you don't need to install.

I wouldn't bother with the provider, they have no obligation to provide quality streams. The make money by mass distribution not service. Even OTA you can find this problem again because the broadcast streams are designed for live playback, and your recording will play live without seeking.
