Spinning circle and random odd behaviors in my recording

Hello, I am experiencing a few odd issues with my recordings on the MSG feed that I added following the suggestions I found in this thread:

https://community.getchannels.com/t/btn-missing-after-pre-release-update/28726/66?u=augie0041

I can watch the channel live and the guide matches the live stream, but when I record a show, specifically the NHL Hockey game, I get a couple of odd behaviors:

First, sometimes the recording doesn't ever begin playing. I get a spinning circle and it never plays. This same thing happens using both the beta client and the official client apps on my Shield Pro, Apple Tv, my Android phone, and the web UI.

Second, sometimes and if I wait long enough, the recording starts playing, but it only seems to play the commercials. All of the actual Hockey game recording is blank and seems to confuse the player. When I try to skip ahead, it rarely works and sometimes crashes the app.

Third, I found if I manually stop the recording and then resume the recording, the second recording actually plays but from only that point, and it works great, it allows me to skip forward and backward just fine... until a commercial... it immediately skips the commercials completely! One second the game is going to commercial, the next second the game is returning from the commercial break.

Fourth, in these cases, if I skip ahead and accidently try to skip a segment of the recording that includes where a commercial should have been, I get a spinning circle for sometimes up to 30 seconds before it resumes in the perfect place as the commercial break resumes. It's very odd.

I have Detect Commercials toggled off for these recordings and I'm typically watching these as they are still recording, if that matters at all.

I submitted my diagnostics of this helps:

Thanks for the detailed description. I've made a fix based on what you observed that should fix future recordings starting in the next prerelease.
