After running fine for several years on the same system, my nextPVR server crashed and is now refusing to start. systemctl status is reporting:

Anyone able to interpret the stack? Is there something up with one of my config files?
The EPG doesn't seem to be downloading anything.
some parts are just a large black square . Others have (no listing). only have a few hours of programs showing up. I know I'm connecting since if I intentionally put in a wrong password I get an error. It just isn't getting any content. And I still get upload attachments. Could it be the size? (4.2MB) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IzNR0bi...sp=sharing
I'm running a n100 and attempting to is the UI to view on the streamer using Linux. When I try o turn on VAAPI It plays fine , but if I try and skip forward it freezes and gives a "Failed to start requested stream" error. Without VAAPI it maxes out the cpu. What could cause the error?
Also, It's set to record native format and set to avoid trans code when possible. So why does it use so much cpu when VAPPI is off? The usage stays high when the video is paused and only drops when the UI is closed.
Hello,
Recently I have been having an issue with my YAUIclient crashing. When I relaunch it it does not go to the main menu it goes back to the program guide and channel I was just on. I have to relaunch the channel. Do I send logs from the main server or are there logs from the YAUIclient program I send?
Please advise.
Thank you,
Bruce
I am at about 1 month into new HTPC build using NextPVR. My only issue is PC randomly fails to enter sleep/standby mode. After observing this problem I believe it has something to do with nightly EPG update. I have attached my logs, hopefully someone can offer suggestion.
Hi, thanks for great software. I have a problem when setting Kodi in internet settings my http proxy with login data- it doesn’t work when playing or recording IPTV channel with nextpvr. It plays without proxy. How to force nextpvr to use it? Thanks. Po
Can someone help? I have been trying to fix npvr for some time now. My xmltv file download link is in settings/guide as required. This used to produce a guide for Kodi and npvr. However, since the xmltv files have gone to a 5 digit format, it seems that I can change the guide to xmltv in Settings/channels, but no mapping is produced. How do I fix this? Thanks. Logs attached. Forgive me, as I am a first time poster.
I moved Nextpvr to a new server along with the usb drive containing the recordings. Now nextpvr can't find the recordings. Iverified the path, nextpvr has ownership of the recordings folder and I verified the UID for the folder owner (nextpvr) is correct . nextpvr still can't find the files. I just noticed that the recording list is not updating when I delete a folder then restart the server. I deleted a hole folder for a series, restarted the server and the program is still in the recording list. It looks to me like nextpvr is looking in the wrong location, even though the drive is mounted at the same point in the new system as it was on the old one. How can I fix that?
I am just getting to grips with key remaps in the clientstore.xml files.
I think that I am getting the hang of it however a successful remap generates an Android notification bubble.
I am using a Harmony hub based remote to control an NVidia Shield. The clientstore file shows that nine of the remote keys are not recognised: KeyCode-F1 to KeyCode-F9. I can remap these in the clientstore as expected. For example:
Code:
<KeyCode-F7>112</KeyCode-F7>
So that: Remote button "Guide" -> Keycode-F7 -> F1 (.net code 112) -> Display TV guide
This works, Uidroid displays the TV guide. However the ShieldTV is displaying a notification bubble with
Quote:KEYCODE_F7 65 137
Displayed for around 2 seconds (image below).
Because I am using an app to switch refresh rates on the fly I am running the Shield with Developer options (for USB debugging and Network debugging) turned on, but temporarily turning them off didn't make a difference. Nor did switching off permissions to display over other apps make a difference.
Is this a setting in either Uidroid, NextPVR or something I've missed in the AndroidTV system that I can turn off to prevent this.
