24 hour long recording

[xmguy]

I recorded the NBC Nightly News tonight. It showed it had recorded for 24 hours. It also won't play. Using previous beta (2024.08.26.0235)

I would check the DVR log and see how many times the recording was interrupted.
What source is that from, an HDHR OTA tuner?

I find if Channels DVR hasn't already rewritten the video timestamps (probably did, will show in the DVR log) I can fix the recording by remuxing it with ffmpeg.

Here's a Windows cmd file I use.

Best way to fix "Interrupted" recordings with wonky Comskip results

Here's the windows cmd script I use to remux. I just drop the recorded file on it, it remuxes and will move the remuxed file to the directory you dropped it from and also logs the ffmpeg std and err out to a log file.

ffmpeg_remux.cmd

@ECHO OFF ECHO ... IF %1.==. GOTO USAGE REM Change current working directory to where this command script resides %~d0 CD %~p0 REM Use ffmpeg.exe to remux the recording to a new .ts file in the current directory REM and redirect standard and error output to origina…

You could just use the ffmpeg line if on a different OS.

ffmpeg -i RecordedFilename.mpg -map 0 -acodec copy -vcodec copy -scodec copy -dcodec copy -copy_unknown RecordedFilename.ts

That will leave your original recording in place and remux it to the same filename with a .ts extension.
