[QUOTE="rlevis, post: 1279340, member: 81718"] TV Server 1.25. Windows 10. This has been an issue for many years, if not since inception, and I hoped it would be resolved eventually, but I'm still suffering. I see dozens or people referring to the same issue over the years in these forums, all of which appear to be caused by anti-virus or other Windows settings. I've managed to repeat the issue consistently now so I hope this will go some way towards a fix. I don't have logs at this stage, but they are the same issues others have where TSWriter finishes at the correct time but the tuner continues tuning in and MP shows the recording is still being recorded (although it isn't) hours after it was supposed to finish. It requires an End Task in Windows Task Manager and service restart. It was made more obvious recently as the issue was occurring every night this week. I'm recording a long sport program (Snooker) between 2:00am and 6:30am every night with a 1 hour Post-record time, so it should finish at 7:30am. At 6:30am I have a scheduled task to create a TVGuide.xml via EPG Collector, which TV Server imports via the XML TV plugin a couple of minutes later. Only if this import occurs does the issue occur and recording does stop properly. 2 days ago I changed the time of the EPG import to 12 noon and the last 2 nights the recording has finished correctly, compared to 4 days before where it always failed. So the issue does appear to be related to the import of the EPG file. Perhaps it is due to the import process removing all the EPG data before importing the new file! This is interesting which I just noticed. A new recording is being started at 6:30am for a couple of hours, recording the same content as the original recording that started at 2am. That could be the one that doesn't stop. I suspect TV Server is getting confused somewhere when there is no EPG while a program is recording. There are probably some logs from 2 days ago if you would like them. Let me know what they are named. Cheers, Ross. [/QUOTE]
