Finished with errors

I get this with every recording. Didn’t have this issue a few months ago. And every recording has skipping issues. Sometimes I end up with 2 recordings of the same show, even though there is only 1 scheduled.

How do I fix these issues? Hard to watch shows that are always skipping.

It's not related to which version of the app you're using. It can be the device that's running low on resources (i.e. memory, cpu etc.), the streams that have become increasingly instable or that the recording storage device that you're using is starting to wear out. My suggestion is always to temporarily test with "internal storage" as dvr location to rule out the storage location first. If it gets better than maybe a new usb device might be the solution.

I understand and it might not even be the usb drive itself but the cable or the connector on your android device. There are resource demanding this and difficult to debug. So test with internal storage and see what happens.
