Hi Guys
I have discussed this issue before but I never got to the bottom of it. Entirely my fault as I wanted to test more, to try and isolate the issue better, and never quite got round to it.
Now I have upgraded to Win 10, and no longer have Win MediaCentre I want to get to the bottom of it.
The issue is corrupted recordings, video and audio break up, making recordings annoying to watch, and in some cases unwatchable.
The issue is baked into the recordings - the break up is seen at the same time in the recording (i.e. if you skip back you get the same corruption again in the same spot, Also the issues are seen in VLC Media Player.
So I assume the issue has to be with the TVServer (the TsWriter log full of continuity errors)
There is has been no TsReader log created since I reinstalled MP.
After reading other threads on similar issues I have turned Windows Defender off.
And my Avast Anti Virus has exceptions for the Team MediaPortal directory and the Recording/Timeshift directory (they use the same dir)
I have tried a clean install.
I uninstalled all MP (1.12.0) parts, including MySql and did a clean install of MP 1.15.0 (single seat installation)
But the issue persists.
Live TV has no issues, TimeShift has no issues, only recordings.
This happens on most, if not all channels, but it does not happen all the time. There does not seem to be a pattern. Day or Night - it can happen any time.Happens on HD and SD channels too.
However I have noticed that is stops if I start watching catchup.
If I start watching a recording, from live point (or from beginning) the errors stop.
i.e if watching the recording from the Live Point no stuttering in visible, and if watching from the beginning, the stuttering stops at the point in the recording that I started watching from the beginning.
As Live Tv, and Timeshifting works perfectly, there must be no issue with the Signal.
Also as Live TV and Timeshift use the same directory the HDD must be ok.
This issue was happening on MP1.12 on Windows 8 and Windows 10.
And now on MP1.15 on Windows 10.
The issue has to be a TvServer setting that I have to change - Any ideas?
Thanks
Stephen.

I have attached the TsWriter and TVService logs, and I will try to describe the situation in log captured.
I was watching a previously recorded show,
At 2016-07-27 22:28:10,282 another show started recording.
The continuity errors are seen in the logs from then.
At 2016-07-27 22:53:35,387 I switched to watching the show currently being recorded
The continuity errors disappear from the logs at this time.
For the next 15 minutes I catch up on the show, and then stop watching.
At 2016-07-27 23:10:29,272 the errors start again and continue until the end of the recording.
