All streams being recorded

Added by steve nichols almost 7 years ago

I seem to be having an issue where all streams for a channel are being recorded. I'm using tvheadend 3.9.2765, and Openelec/Kodi with an HDHomerun tuner. I'm seeing giant file sizes. I just had the hard disk on my HTPC fill up due to a 157GB recording. I selected channel 5.1 to be recorded. There is also a 5.2,5.3 and 5.4. It appears to have recorded all streams. If I open the .ts file in vlc the codec info shows a stream for each sub channel. It just started doing this. Is this a tvheadend issue or HDHomerun issue or openelec/Kodi issue? Does anyone know how to stop this?

thanks,

I would first recommend updating to a currently supported version of Tvheadend. 3.9 is WILDLY out of date. Current stable is 4.2.5.

Unfortunately that's not an option right now.

I don't think the recording has multiple streams. I used ffprobe and it shows only one video stream. But it shows the bit rate about 7 times the normal bit rate for that channel. My other recordings of that channel are around 11000 kb/s. This record is 76608 kb/s.
