The log says it ended normally. It seams likely?? as many sporting/live tv event run longer than the allotted time slot you should add some extra padding to these recordings.

As here:

or I could be completely wrong!

Yep, I understand. But that just cant be my case.

I actually have mine set to 120... as nfl often overruns.

This isn't it. It's not related to guide data or recording setup.

The source stream is just ending:

The server is currently treating this as success given the absence of an error. We can probably look at restarting the recording. You'd end up with multiple ts files but at least you'd have it all.

@daffyonlsdare you still having an issue with this?

[daffyonlsd 0]

No, I've figured out a workaround. 

Xteve as a buffer, seems to do the trick.

cheer though

I experienced exactly this issue twice today for a spoting event that was 4 hours long, both times exactly 3hours in, the recording stopped.

edit : looked in the logs, found the reason.

Restart recording would be great, even if some seconds or minutes is missing on sport events! It there any feature requested for this?
