LiveTV recordings convert to MP4 not working

[allen00se 18]

When I have the convert to MP4 set I get a ~3min video no matter the length of show I am trying to record. Attached is the record-transcode log from last night.

I think something is causing disruption with your HDHR such as a momentary signal drop and we're just going to have to make the recording process more resilient to handle that.

Interesting theory, could possibly debug by doing a standard recording then transcoding manually? or sharing one of my recordings with one of the developers?

[Luke 42077]

yes try recording without re-encoding, although it could still happen there, probably less likely.

Recording without the convert to mp4 works just fine.

[denz 501]

I noticed all the recordings that are converted have too many corruptions to be watchable so I have disabled and all recordings are perfect.

[Guest asrequested]

I'm getting a similar problem. With conversion enabled, just seconds after the recording starts, it stops.

[CovertJaguar 2]

Similar to denz, I also tried mp4 conversion for about a week. It consistently produced sub-par video (visual artifacts) so I disabled it as well.

 

However, I think at least part of the problem was related to available processing power during the recording. Perhaps somewhat unwisely, my recording PC is also the PC I play games on. So I can't really complain if that is causing issues.

[denz 501]

My pc is also not very powerful that was my guess why there is so many artifects its the pc that runs wmc perfectly and so does emby as well on it.
