recorded file does not match recording time - lawrenceacraig - 2025-07-05
Hi there,
I experienced an issue today where I recorded a 4-hour programme, and the recorded file ended up being only 1h35 long. The logs don't make note of any failures or issues. It shows the recording starting and finishing on time (4 hours in total).
Any idea what might have happened? Or how I can investigate further?

What did the guide data have it set to? My guess is that it was only scheduled for an hour and a half.

I thought that myself so I checked the EPG and it was also for 4 hours. Plus if you look at the logs I have provided, you can see the time stamps starting at [2025-07-05 09:59:58.970 +01:00] and the recording stopping at [2025-07-05 13:59:59.984 +01:00] which is the 4 hours.
