Dont1982 4 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 How can i offset the guide by a couple minutes. About the last 2 to 3 minutes of a show the guide will pop up and say what is coming on, but it still has 2 minutes left on the other show. My server time is set up correctly through my machine. It cuts off shows while recording and i have set the dvr timer to start 4 minutes before and 4 minutes after and it still cuts them off sometimes.

Luke 37065 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Hi there, what guide data are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14913 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hi. Are you using an m3u provider? Many of these streams are significantly delayed from real time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont1982 4 Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 i am using emby guide data directv and yes i am using an iptv provider. It is the guide that is out not my iptv service. The reason i know this is because i have timed it when the guide pops up and tell me what is coming on and aprox 2 minutes the credits for the show going off start to toll. I will also add this does this with my hd homerun for my local OTA channels, so i don't think it is my iptv provider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37065 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hi, we don't currently have an option for this, but you could use the padding settings to handle this for your recordings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont1982 4 Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 If you are referring to the extra time added to the front and back of the recording. Then I already do that. If not what are you talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37065 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Yes that is what I meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont1982 4 Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Yes and the clock on the machine is set correctly. So the recording is 2 minutes late and even if I tell it to record 4 minutes early and end 4 minutes late it either cuts off the first or last of the recording Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many simultaneous streams does your provider give you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont1982 4 Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 I can have up to 5 streams at one time. The most it has every recorded at one time was 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) That would eliminate what I was thinking as a possible cause. With your current setup you can likely skip pre-padding as you have a 2 or 3 minute buffer built in. Could you try a couple 30 hour minute show recordings and set pre-padding to 0 and posy padding to 10. Do they still cut off early?

Dont1982 4 Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 The guide shows the time they are supposed to start at. But when watching tv, a show that has 2 to 3 minutes left, the guide pops up on the bottom and says the new show is starting. Hence triggering the DVR to not record.

Carlo 4330 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I'm not following this last comment fully. So to recap your m3u files actually runs about 2 or 3 minutes behind actual time correct? So everything is delayed 2 or 3 minutes. In this case enter 0 for pre-padding as you won't need it as it's there by default. If you set post padding to 5 minutes then this should provide roughly 2 or 3 minutes of real padding since everything is delayed. If you have open tuners then when a show starts shouldn't interfere with what is already recording and should not stop a recording in progress. In your tuner setup what do you have set for "Simultaneous stream limit:" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont1982 4 Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 The clock is showing for example 0800 or 2100. The clock and guide are correct I guess. And the streams are slow. I used the padding last night and it worked great thank you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Yes padding should fix this for you. Just use 0 pre-padding and 4 or 5 minutes post processing which should give you the same results of 2 & 2 for a hardware tuner. You just need to offset your padding by the delay you get!

And the streams are slow Right. That's what I've been trying to say . The streams are what are out of sync, not the guide. I understand you'd like to adjust the guide to account for that but it isn't that the guide is "wrong" it is that the programs are not actually occurring when they are supposed to. The padding fields should allow you to account for this, however, for your recordings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
