  Yes, agreed. I also have a NAS which is on 24/7 too and unfortunately DVROnTime won't run on that either ☹️ I had a look at what Channels DVR uses on Windows (as it's similar to DVROnTime and uses HD Homeruns) and it works out when the next recording is and sets a sleep wake timer (can be viewed...

  Looks like I am also seeing this with DVROnTime. All c4 and c4 HD recordings failed last night (about 1 min long) so switched the channels to padding for now. Any ideas if 4seven is affected too?

  Not using DVROnTime as its Freeview/HD HomeRun specific. For Freesat you'd probably want to be looking at things like TVHeadEnd or Enigma perhaps.

  @dearleuk It does not really work like that. If you modify the script to point to DVROnTime recordings home directory and then run it with no arguments it will then attempt to classify the recordings and file them in a Kodi friendly non-destructively. If that looks ok then run it again with the...
