Recording service restarted during recording...

Recording service restarted during recording

Has been happening erratically for the past few weeks.
Most programs are recorded without interruption but - and this might be a "Red Herring" - the glitch seems occur most often between 17:00 and 18:00 weekdays.
Please could I have some thoughts

Thank you

I see the error but I can't explain it.  The logs show a crash on playback of an in progress value and (you have two files being recorded at the time.  If you use Kodi for playback you don't need thumbnails and timing files so search the forum and turn that off.  You could be taxing your RPi.

You are also using an old unsupported version of the server so upgrade to 7.0.5 when it comes out.

Code:

Belated thank you for responding.
The problem has not recurred since the one evening last week. So I'll leave it there for the time being, particularly as recording restarts withing seconds of the crash.

As for "unsupported version of the server". As far as I am aware Version: 7.0.1.241229 is as high as I can currently go on Rapsi
The NextPVR web page on my server tells me "(7.0.3.250920 is available for download)" bu I think that applies to other OS's

Best

Using LE 12 or 13 v 7.0.4 should be available. 7.0.5 will be better for you since it supports the SkyTV guide on DVB-S with Linux.
