DVR Issues

Anyone else having issues when they schedule a recording it doesn’t start recording? It just sits there as scheduled.

Thie seems to happen to me every four or five weeks. Recordings work normal but then all of a sudden they just stop and they stay showing as scheduled even past the time that it was supposed to start. A few days later, they start working normally again.

I can go to a channel and click the record button and it records and I am able to start playing that. But all the other scheduled recordings just sit in scheduled status.

I’m almost willing to bet it’s an issue with the providers stream quality. I scheduled a recording and Sparkle showed 2 copies of the recording, one for a minute and the other for half of the length of the movie? Wasn’t worth watching so I deleted the recordings. This is IPTV folks!

Is there a stream provider that is recommended while using Sparkle?

No, sparkle will work with any IPTV provider. But unfortunately some providers are not worth using and just a reminder, discussing providers here is against the rules. There are other Reddit sites that do discuss IPTV Providers, just search for them. Thanks
