[QUOTE="toii, post: 1132218, member: 152049"] I have noticed that some recordings are very messed up when attempting to play. I looked in the tswriter log and see thousands of Continuity Error during the recording. Three are about 3-6 Continuity errors per second (18M of errors in one recording!). I am wondering how to diagnose the problem. I have 3 internal TV DVB-T tuners in the PC. I am only recording unscrambled TV channel. My timeshift buffer is a ramdisk. I have tried manual control of timeshift recording on all 3 tuners and I don't see any errors at all while I am doing this. It says signal level 0 and signal quality 100 (apart from one of the three tuners which says signal qulaity 50 for the first second then jumps to 100 and stays there). I am running Win7 with no antivirus app running. There is no network involved in my setup - everything is on the one box. I am using Kodi as my frontend player. The recrdings that have lots of errors during record also fail to play back properly if I used Mediaportal frontend. I figure the problem is in the process of recording the file based on the errors I see. I am thinking I could try disabling all but 1 tuner at a time and see if I can isolate to a single tuner or not. Other than manual control to start timeshift on each tuner, what else can I do to try an troubleshoot the problem? [/QUOTE]
