Recently i'm having problems recordings some TV films.
The normal size is about 3.5 GB but they are now much smaller ( will find the next one with a problem )
The only error i can see is in the TSWriter.

It's only on some chanels, and only sometimes.
havent found a pattern yet..

So if anybody has a sugestion?
Besides include all logs :)

    Hi caveman,

    MePo records the stream as it is received without any own processing. If recordings are now smaller you may be recording on SD channels instead of HD. It is also possible that your HD station broadcasts a movie on lower resolution.

    In essence not a software problem but due to the broadcasting station.

    Same brodcasting..
    Same Quality.
    I cant even play it in VLC.
    It's as if it records the first 5 min, and then just stops...

    Continuity errors indicate weak signal. The station may already be captured with weak singnasl strength, then add some bad weather - and cut ?

    The sice of the recorded program was 500Mb compared to the expected 3GB
    I did a manual recording before the program no problem.
    Again it was the scheduled program that had this strange size.

    Can you please post the full server logs? It could be overlapping recording, priority of live TV, or other things.

    Will try to create the logs..
    But none of the problems should be the case. Only 1 recording at the time due to the fast i'm only having one cam.
    But tried to delete the Chanel and add it again.
    Also looked at the tuning details 100%

    But will try to fetch the logs tomorrow.

    Had to reinstall mepo due to errors with wake up.
    But funny enough ( ha ha) only problems with recordings on this one channel :)
    So removed the 2 mepo folders and did a clean install.
    Copied the channel list back.
