Audio and Video not synced in recordings

Channels DVR Server Troubleshooting
#1

I am recently getting bad recordings, where the audio and video are not synced. Often near the beginning of the recording. Is there anyway to trouble shoot.

2024.09.10.2115 (apple iMac 13,2). HD homerun is the source.

The video recording goes out of sync on the AppleTV or a Mac, but if I watch the video right in the Channels web interface on the host it just pauses.

I would love to troubleshoot if it is just poor signal (Jeopardy -> ABC in Orange County CA, the dreaded channel 7 problem), or my DVR server's ethernet connection to the homerun. If the latter perhaps I would just buy a small synology and put it in the same cabinet as the homerun.

Can you watch the recording from the disk it's recorded to using VLC Player to see if it's out of sync?
Is it a HDHR OTA or HDHR Cable recording?

#3

It is HDHR OTA. The VLC player is not out of sync. But it instead just stalls and has no video or audio for a few seconds (but says transcoder running). So it seems like there is something wrong with the recording itself. I am trying to determine if this is what bad signal looks like from my Antenna (which I likely cannot improve upon), or something I can address.

Unclear if VLC Player has an issue or not.
Where do you see (but says transcoder running)
Does it play in VLC Player?
