@jeffreyswiggins@gmail.com did it do the same?
Something is recording now… set to start 14:00cst and end 14:30cst… it is recording but I have to wait till it finishes to see if it’s complete and started on time. I also set up two shows to record tonight at 20:00cstat the same time to test that as most of the time mine record in the evening
@jeffreyswiggins@gmail.com if it still cuts off, install plex on a computer and do a test recording see if it still cuts off that way we will know if its the Celeron in your nas not coping or something else like network issues or the hdhomerun.
Thanks that was going to be my next plan…
So the 30 minute show i setup just finished and appears to be complete. It started on time and I scrubbed to the end and it ends on time so full show as i would hope for. It is 3.15GB in size which is huge as that would make a 60 minute show 6GB which is ridiculously bloated. My antenna and Homerun do receive the OTA signal as 1080 so I was expecting between 1-2GB for a 30 minute show. If i let the 2 hour longs shows record tonight that essential would be 12GB used for 2 1hr shows which seems like a lot of waste. Is there a setting somewhere to dumb down the format or will i need to look at a software package to shrink (and possibly cut the commercials)?
I use MCEBuddy with Comskip to convert my OTA recordings. It takes a while (about the length of the show) but it works well.
@jeffreyswiggins@gmail.com like @deli9901 said MCEBuddy with comskip will cut the commercials and shrink the file but you need your computer to do that part its not to hard to setup and it can monitor the nas folder for new files and do it at set times or automaticly I can walk you though setting it up if you like.
Was just reading about it… did you pay for the premium one?

if you pay for MCEBuddy and comskip its a lot faster than full run time as is uses your cpu and gpu to render faster and if you use normal quality should cut that time by more than half and I do not see a dip in image quality he has a discount link on there FB page Redirecting... to get it for $20 and I think comskip is 10 for there paid version
I did. $30 one time payment. I’m happy with it.

yes it was worth it sped it up a lot with the right setting tweaked
I also use mcebuddy but have switched to using a MP4 Unprocessed profile. A one hour HD show takes between 7-11 minutes to be processed after the recording ends. When I was using MP4 Normal I was seeing the length of show for processing.
Thanks for that info @johnm_ColaSC. Is the file size manageable and is the quality OK with MP4 unprocessed? I am still tweaking my setup and I’d love faster process times. I am converting large .TS files from OTA.
@deli9901 what cpu r u running for it to take full run time? and do u have a good video card?
I have an Intel Core i5 3.2GHz. No graphics card. MCEBuddy is set to ‘MP4 Fast’ plus Comskip.
Windows 7 desktop.
@deli9901 google your chip see if it has quick sync if you have it follow the rest of this post if not NVM.
In your bios max out your ram for the internal video card make sure if there is a setting for quick sync its turned on. MCEB in the expert settings for your output click hardware accelerate. when you get some spare change pickup a gtx1050 there cheap. when you get the 1050 in the bios force the internal graphics to on and not auto. should knock 50% or more off your time and you can run on normal. I do a 480p 30 min program in 2 min with an i5 3570k with quick sync on and a r9 270 switching the open gl flags on in the profile file. with a NVidia card you only need to switch the hardware flag on in expert.
So I bought mcebuddy and so far have been unable to get it to work with my mapped network share to my NAS which is what runs Plex and where the live tv files are stored. Followed their network instructions of adding the network creds to the expert menu and it worked sort of one time. It saw a file, started, then errors, and since states it cannot access the drive
I’m sure there are more suitable threads to discuss post-processing in than this one.

your right but I was helping with there other issues while we waited on dave to get back on our logs and if you read all the posts this started from a dvr problem

I understand, and I have absolutely read all the posts, but it generates so much noise (and notifications for us that have the thread bookmarked) completely unrelated to the issue that the thread is actually about.
(edit: not trying to single anyone out and don’t at all mean any offence)
