Skopin 9 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I'm having some issues with the DVR padding not working. I currently have it set up to record 6 minutes before and 6 minutes after the scheduled show. In most instances, it works fine, but sometimes, I'll end up with a recording that is only 30 minutes long, meaning it did not record the extra 6 minutes before or after, and it ends up cutting off part of the show. The show I'm recording is generally on in blocks of 2-3 hours, so in most cases, I can see the missing parts in the next recording, but not always. Log is attached from one of the recordings. On a side note, is there any way currently (or being planned for the future) to schedule recordings based strictly on time versus by show? Say I want to record a specific channel from 11:00pm-1:00am every night, rather than saying record a specific show in that time slot?

Luke 37250 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Hi, this is just an ffmpeg log. Can you attach the server log as well? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skopin 9 Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 Here are the two server logs surrounding that recording. The first was created at 12am this morning, and the other around 10:40am. 12am.txt 1039am.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37250 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Are you sure this is the right one? I don't see any recording activity here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skopin 9 Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 Those are the only logs I have listed around the time of the recording, other than the recording logs themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37250 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Can you create a new example and supply the logs all at the same time? Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skopin 9 Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 Ok, this one happened this morning. There were four episodes back to back. The second and fourth recorded with the correct padding, but the first and third episodes only recorded for 30 minutes. There is about a 30 second overlap between the end of recording 1 and the beginning of recording 2, and between the end of recording 3 and the beginning of recording 4. recording1.txt recording2.txt recording3.txt recording4.txt serverlog.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37250 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I think it's because the source has bad timestamps. We tell ffmpeg to record for 41 minutes, and it judges this based on timestamps in the video to determine that it has 41 minutes worth. I guess we can just stop doing that and try to just terminate it, although there was a reason for doing this way back when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skopin 9 Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Well that is strange. I assumed it just took the scheduled time and padded based on that. is there any plan to allow recording by time instead of by show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37250 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Yes that is planned for the future. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
