I was looking at some of my log files this morning and noticed that the imageGrabLite.log file from the nightly EPG update was ending prematurely and showing an error. (see imageGrabLite-withExitingGangland.log in attached .zip)
Code:
2015-02-21 03:49:58.942 [DEBUG][1] Checking C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Media/Shows/Gangland Undercover.xml
2015-02-21 03:49:58.942 [ERROR][1] Read Error Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I then tried deleting the existing "Gangland Undercover.xml" (copy included in .zip) and manually re-running the post-EPG update command. This time it went on to Kosher Soul (see imageGrabLite-DeletedGangland.log). So then I re-deleted the Gangland Undercover.xml file and the Kosher Soul.xml file, and again re-ran imageGrabLite.
This time it made it to The Middle (imageGrabLite-TheMiddleProblem.log). This one had a different error.
Code:

And removing all 3 of the .xml files didn't help. (i.e. I still got the same error with The Middle). So I think that the problem with The Middle is something different.
Just wondering has anyone tried some of the new low cost x86 Windows tablets as NPVR Servers? Was considering getting one to try it out, but just wondering if someone has already done it and would say it's not worth the hassle.
When I'm navigating the webclient on my RPI2, I keep getting thrown back to the main menu of Kodi, but it doesn't happen all the time. The logs are showing the navigation in the recordings list. I've made the logs last week on version 2.4.5. I'm posting it now, because I wanted to check if the alpha version was showing the same problem, and it does. Let me know if you need the logs from 2.4.6 alpha.
When I was first setting up nextPVR a few month ago, I told it to record all episodes of the "Tonight Show" as a test. That was when I was first setting things up and trying to get everything to work. I had to remove the channels and epg info and set that up again, and stuff like that. Basically, I had to go through the setup process a few times to get everything working correctly. Apparently that got something confused in the scheduled recordings.
I can not get rid of the Tonight Show scheduled recording. As it downloads a TVGuide update and decides to record additional episodes, I can cancel the recording of those individual episodes. But I cannot get rid of the recurring schedule. I can tell it to cancel the recurring record, but it still does.
I have tried creating a new scheduled recording of the show, and setting the new one to keep only one episode. I could ignore its insistence on recording the show, if it would at least delete them. But that doesn't seem to work either. It always records all episodes of this show, and it keeps all episodes. I have to manual delete every episode. (and on a daily show, that gets annoying).
If I go to the list of "Recurring Recordings", the Tonight Show is not listed there. On the "Pending Recordings" each upcoming episode is listed. I can cancel them individually there too, but more will be added when more days show up in the TV guide.
Other scheduling appears to work correctly. I can create and delete scheduled recordings for other shows, and have it keep just a show or two if desired. The only show having this problem is the Tonight Show. It was the show I tried to schedule as a test while setting things up, I'm guessing that is related. But I don't remember all the setup things I played with since then.
Any ideas? Like, is there a back door way to clean this up? (editing the xml config files?)
I'm thinking of adding another HDPVR onto my setup...currently one Colossus and one HDPVR. Are there any things I should look out for? I'm using my MCE remote for blasting so I will be using at least one of my Hauppauge IR blasters. From what I can recall, only the newest installed driver/device gets the IR blaster control.
having a problem with a couple of shows getting renamed by imagegrablite to include semicolons in the file name. These won't play on the NMT client. Biggest problem is the Tonight Show, which usually has a couple of ";"s in the name.
I recently updated to 3.3.8 and now I seem to have an issue where NRecord seems to die, I think it's mid day on Saturdays. I don't usually notice until I get back and I don't have shows or NPVR shows up like the attached picture (on a side now, NPVR still has to be reloaded for the newer guide information to show up)
I tried looking through the logs but I don't see the same information as a similar thread.
So from lots of post digging it seems that if you are using the PVR addon you can only watch a recording up until the point it was live when you started watching. Kodi will not handle growing HTTP streams. X-NEWA gets around this using SMB sharing. I was wondering if anyone knows
1) Is any work being done in Kodi to support growing HTTP streams? NPVR doesn't seem to be the only PVR addon impacted by this issue
2) Is there any possibility of adding SMB streaming as an option within the addon
3) Does anyone know if MediaBrowser has the same issues?
If neither of those have any support then it looks like I will want to get X-NEWA setup and working for the long term. I'm hoping that one of those two will be addressed though sooner rather than later. While I really appreciate the work going into X-NEWA it seems like this is a really basic/common use case that I'd hope could be supported more directly with the PVR addon.
