recording live TV with transcoding fails badly


Recommended Posts

I scheduled The Big Bang Theory to record from the HDHR4-US at 8:00PM.  Two MKV files were generated, badly pixelated (my antenna reception is fine) for the same TV show!  I saw the common bug where the files show a length of 6 hours for one 1GB file and 13 hours for the other 1.8GB  file.  I have no idea why two files were generated for a single show.  I am assuming the pixelation was caused by overloading the (powerful i7-6800K) CPU, not poor reception.  I was watching a previously-recorded TV show while this was recording, not sure that should have caused a problem.

 

For now I have turned off transcoding, this is completely unusable.  Server and transcoding logs are attached.  It did generate two transcoding logs for the two files created for one TV show.

No, it just showed the one air time.
