Starting this past Wednesday, 2/19, I had several shows where only a portion of the show recorded. For example, 40 minutes of Survivor, 18 minutes of Superstore, 25 minutes Young Sheldon.
Any idea why this would happen? The other shows for these days seemed to record OK, but those shows were only recording one at a time. The above shows listed above did not record properly - but the DVR was recording two shows at one time. This only started happening on 2/19.
Thanks!
David
Please supply logs from the time of the recordings/errors. Otherwise, everyone is only going to be able to guess.
Without the logs, my first guess is that aliens from Venus—Venutians, if you will—infiltrated your home and messed with your recordings to evaluate your response. Devious and heinous, but better than being probed, right?
(That was a joke and sarcasm. But, evidence or data is still needed. ... and I'd like to think the Venutians wouldn't be quite so cruel as to ruin someone's recordings.)
Thanks! Where can I find the logs? Have been using for a few weeks and not sure where to find those.
Open the dvr web UI on your Mac and click the Log tab in the navigation
Thanks! Here's the log from last night.

The logs for Young Sheldon seem fine. It recorded for 33 minutes.
If you find that recording on the web UI and select View Details, what does it show for the duration?
I have deleted Young Sheldon, but the duration it showed was 24 minutes. I thought that might have been in error so I watched the show and it did in fact only recorded 24 minutes.
Locast streams have been known to have problems in the past. The error is coming from their end, and not Channels. (I personally have had this problem, too. The problem is with small sections of the stream not being sent, and those small sections throughout the recording accumulate.)
OK, thanks for the info!
