Plex DVR not recording whole shows

General Discussions Plex Features

I’m getting only partially recorded programs (for example only 29 minutes of an hour program)

Looking in the log I see messages for a request to stop

Note the program started at 20:00 - and it does this sort of thing repeatedly through the hour

This is a recent change (Plex had stabilised somewhat but since the latest update has got worse).

I am new to Plex, still evaluating it as I continue to rely on EyeTV for recordings. This past week I have been experimenting with recording programs.

So far, I have set three movies OTA to record. The few seconds of recordings which were done actually looked good. However, that’s all that records.

I did get a couple successful recordings as well. Any thoughts/ideas why and how to prevent this from happening?

I have the logs but do not know what to look for or to post here.

I am using a MacMini (i7 Quad Core) with two HDHomeRun Connects - one Quatro and One Dual.

I should add that two TV programs did completely record and some errors completely without recording anything.
