Is there a limit to recording length? My TVServer recordings all cut off at 3 hours but I can't find a setting anywhere to change it.

Can it be done?

    Is there a limit to recording length?
    If you use "Manual Booking" (left side menu on the "Recording Schedule" panel), you can schedule a recording duration of up to 24 hours. However...

    That is using the "conventional" TV sources, i.e. a DVB-T tuner, a DVB-S tuner, or an analogue tuner. You stated in your other thread that you are using an IPTV source. Perhaps there is a limit for that? I don't know.

    The only suggestion that I can make is that you record from DVB-T or DVB-S sources.

    Is there a time limit for recordings. I've been trying to record over IPTV but the recordings seem to cut off after 3 hours exactly.

Disabling the option "Single seat setup: force RTSP usage" under "TV/Radio", "Advanced Options" resolved the issue. After I disabled this option, I was able to delete the recordings the first time...

    TV Server plugins are listed on this page, and "EPG Cleaner" can be downloaded from this page. Note: I don't know what bitness the plugin has. It might be 32-bit, or it might be "any cpu". The plugin is not listed by the "MP Extensions" tool, so I don't know whether it has been tested with the most-recent MP releases. -- from...

    Good to hear you got it working.(y) I have attached a screenshot of my Power Scheduler settings and, yes my TV does stay off when a scheduled recording starts. Regarding the monitor sleeping when playing music, if the screensaver option is set in your MP skin settings try disabling it, I have a vague recollection it may get...
