I have been running with 3.2.9 (and others) stably for a long time. After updating to 3.3.8 I can watch live tv from sky through my hauppauge analog card once but when I stop it and then try again I get the unable to connect to recording service message.
This does not happen with my other tuner which is a DVB-T usb stick
My NPVR server is usually quite reliable--and I record A LOT of shows. But now, 2 Sundays in a row I seem to have had the NRecord.exe service "die". The first time was last Sunday (so version 3.2.9) and I wasn't home and didn't discover the problem until the next day when I had several failed recordings. Since I didn't catch it in time, I didn't get logs, and I just ignored it as some sort of fluke.
But just now, the service died on me again. This time it's version 3.3.8 which I installed Friday night. Maybe the two occurrences aren't related. But if they are, then the problem is not something new in 3.3.8.
Since I don't have the logs from the last time, I'll just focus on this instance where the logs are attached. I had 2 recordings running for the same channel both being recorded by 2 different tuners in an HDHR Prime with CableCard. It was in the post-padding for the 1st show (NFL Football) and the normal time for the 2nd show (60 Minutes). I was using the NMT client and from the Recordings listing, cancelled the NFL Football recording and then deleted it. The delete request brought up the confirmation dialog and I clicked OK. But the dialog stayed on the screen for a long time. That's when I noticed that both (rather than just 1) of the tuner in-use lights on the HDHR Prime had gone out. And the desktop gadget on my laptop couldn't connect to the recording service any longer. The NRecord.log doesn't seem to show any error. And the NFL Football recording and folder seemed to get deleted OK. I restarted the recording service and it immediately began recording 60 Minutes again (to a new file).
Sorry if both of these issues have been addressed repeatedly, but I have searched for answers to both and not found a workable solution.
1. I am using Schedules Direct for EPG data and chose local antenna -- since all broadcasts are ATSC. But I see no schedule data in the EPG, only no data available.
2. Using XBMC I receive the message tuner not available.
I use HDHomerun dual, two units and can watch broadcasts well in the GUI.
The firewall is not the problem. All three programs are allowed through, and I also turned off firewall and no change.
Windows version is 8.1 and XBMC version is Gotham. NPR is latest download.
Everything works fine in NPVR. I can watch TV and record (didn't actually check the recording, though).

My recordings of 'Parenthood' were named incorrectly with the season 3 error, as I discussed in another thread. I deleted the xml under scripts and media, but that did not work. I went back and tried to do a rename again, and this is the error I got:

The webclient works fine, but I wanted to check out the functionality from the XBMC GUI. Everytime I start it I get this error. I do get "All recordings", but not "Recurring recordings" and "TV Guide" (Error retrieving EPG data). I've searched the forum, but didn't find a solution. Logs attached (nextpvr and xmbmc). BTW, this is not related to the new version of X-NEWA or nextpvr.
I'm having a few issues with the new metadata screens
In 3.2.9 Videos sort of worked. although only if an xml file was in shows. In 3.3.8 no fanart shows - view is the same whether the tick box in Misc 2 is checked or not - even when going to the recordings folder from videos.
In Recordings (Didn't use it much in 3.2.9) fanart shows but most of the Titles, Descriptions etc are missing - only showing in a couple of recent recordings and showing xml errors on some of those.
My older shows have been edited in Videoredo, so have no ADS - also noticed a lot of the xml files in Media/Shows (downloaded by IGL and the built in Metadata Downloader) are full of bogus info.
Also when backing out of a folder in Recordings it always goes to the start of the top level screen - Pain in the butt when you have 130+ different Shows
Off Topic - Windows 8.1 not getting the MS AAC Codec showing in settings
Just updated to 3.3.8 on the client and I get this error on NPVR start.
Sql error.
Recordings show up and play but no epg and the error popup reappears every time I try to do anything.
I am a bit reticent to upgrade the server side in case I get more problems. I don't have sqlite installed as far as I know on either machine, do I need to install that? and if so on which machine.
I am posting the logs but they mention nothing that seems odd to me.
