It is on by default but I was trying different things to get it to work.
If you start having issues again, try this:
- hit record a few TVE shows at the same time
- let them record, then check the main DVR Log to make sure no errors shown
- play the recorded mpg files via VLC and see if there are any playback issues
It still does not play right in vlc.
Going over the log, I noticed quite a few of the following
rewriting
skipped
error="MPEG-TS discontinuity
something is going on here but what?
I have re uploaded my logs
At the end of each recording, one line is printed to the main DVR log showing statistics. There should be a skipped=XXX in there. If that is more than zero that usually means bad things are happening. In this case I would suspect a bad stick of RAM. Can you run a memtest?
Those values are absolutely greater than 0. I am running a memtest now using the built in windows tool. This machine is headless using a dummy plug so it would be difficult to run memtest86 on it. Keep in mind, while this is the only system that I have checked the logs on, I have tried running the dvr software on other systems with similar effects.
Can you paste some of the full [MTS] line entries from the dvr log?
My t330 is still running the memtest and as I said it is headless so I can not interrupt it until it is done.
However, I installed your dvr software on an i5 kaby lake zotac running ubuntu mate and it works perfectly. Unfortunately, I can not run this system 24/7. My guess is there is a interaction between your code and the latest build of windows 10
The skipped=N messages mean the video stream is getting corrupted by the time it reaches the DVR. In our experience, this is always either due to a bad stick of RAM or a failing disk.
All drives check out fine in seatools. System passed memtest. Problem occurs on multiple machines all running the latest build of windows 10. Software works on ubuntu mate I know what you are saying, but my money is on a interaction with windows 10 and your code. Please look into it.
I just went over the log, there are no mts entries

MTS entries were printed after each TVE recording finished. However, it looks like the current prerelease removed those log entries.
Looking through my logs v2020.04.19.0128 has the [MTS] entries, but v2020.04.20.0048 does not.
Edit: Looks like the [MTS] logs were removed from TVE streams (but not sure when), but they remain for Locast streams. Here's an example:
2020/04/20 19:31:00.845885 [MTS] Statistics for "TV/Jeopardy!/Jeopardy! S36E161 2020-04-20-1900.mpg": skipped=0 unhandled_packets=0 discontinuity_detected=0 transport_errors=0 invalid_pts=0 invalid_dts=0 saw_pcr=true saw_pmt=true highest_pts=1872.833333
Edit 2: MTS is an abbreviation to indicate the log line is about a completed MPEG-TS stream. It's the analogue to the SNR statistics given for HDHomeRun-delivered recordings.
I am recording from locast now. I will try to get those mts lines for you once it is done. I am also updating a spare system to the release preview ring. I will let you know how that goes as well.
there are no mts lines with locast. Keep in mind I have updated to 2020.04.20.0048. I have submitted logs again Thanks
I downgraded to stable but still no mts entries
Also 2004 makes no difference.
Which log are you checking?
I am checking all the logs in record_dir/Logs
found it see below.
