I am trying to find the title to a show (or movie?) from several years ago.

The basic premise was a small group of people who ended up in deep space on a large alien warship that was heavily damaged, derelict and just flying on auto.

A memorable portion that may help you to help me was when the ship flew itself into a star to refuel. That had the humans quite distressed.

  Thank you for the reply. I saw it 5+/- years ago at a friend's place on gasp vhs tape but it was NOT new at that time. It could be 10 or less. I know, quite vague. Thank you for helping.

  Jenayah, I feel so silly after reviewing your link regarding asking story-id questions. I barely met a couple of those gates. It's purely amazing my question was answered so fast given so little initial data was provided. Should the need arise, I'll be sure to include much more information. Thank you again.

I'd suggest that this is Stargate: Universe, the starship does this on a couple of occasions

Destiny reactors are fueled by absorbing and storing stellar material through a series of ram scoops on the underside of each wing. To accomplish this, Destiny dives into the photosphere of a star, absorbing material during its fly-through. The shields allow matter to pass through for the ram scoops to collect while keeping the ship completely protected from the intense conditions. However, large, hot stars (such as Blue giants) are more than the Destiny's protective capabilities can fully handle. Destiny can still use these stars to recharge though not without incurring some degree of damage and putting great strain on its shields. The ship will perform this recharging process automatically whenever power levels drop below a certain point.

Not much to go on, but Stargate: Universe fits the few details. Its last episode aired 8 years ago, it has the group of people stranded on the spaceship flying on auto and the ship does refuel in a sun.

See if this looks familiar:
