Recordings not recording entire show (data errors)

Added by Josh Crosby almost 8 years ago

I've had issues with a few recordings now that only record about 41-42 min of a 120 min program. One recording shows 69 data errors, the other shows 279. Both will playback just fine, they just end way earlier than they were supposed to. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

I can provide a log if someone can let me know how too, I just haven't seen how to do that yet as a new user.

You can probably start with just normal logging to a file and see if there are any errors before trying to enable debug or trace logs (which can be quite big...)

Encrypted or FTA channels?

What settings do you have in your recording profile?

I tried setting up the GUI to save a log. Have a scheduled recording tonight. I'll see if it happens again.

I'm pulling in ATSC channels from my antenna into an HDHomeRun. Tvheadend is running on a RPi 3. I've attached a screenshot of my DVR profile settings.

Here's some of the log. Looks like Continuity counter errors.

Still having these issues with every single record. Wife approval factor is quickly sinking. Anyone with ideas of what causes this problem in Tvheadend?

A few continuity errors is probably not your problem. You need to post full logs.

Where does Tvheadend store its logs? I've enabled syslog in Debugging and set the Debug Log Path to /storage but it doesn't show up there. I would have posted the full log but watched it on the Tvheadend log at the bottom of the screen while it was recording and it came up with continuity error after continuity error. My latest recording had 1548 data errors and the recording contains 39 min of a recording that should be 120 min.
