i've been recording the olympics using nextpvr and kodi. working good for the most part but i noticed that for one broadcast listing in the guide (say, olympics primetime, which is about 4 hours long) when i go to recordings to watch it, it's been broken up into multiple files. is this there a setting in npvr to make it one file per listing, or is this an issue in kodi?
how do i set differing log levels?
i know where it is in config.xml...but what are the possible values?
we used to have a drop down selection box with the different levels, but now i can't find it..
because something deleted 2 terabytes of my recordings on a drive, and i have no idea how, because the logs don't even make to the beginning of today!?
[files disappeared yesterday]
i'd like to have much more logging duration, and less irrelevant caca stuffing them up..[every client byte chunk]
seems something deleted all of my recordings on one of my setup destinations, and neatly deleted over 150 recordings...leaving root dirs, but cleaning out my recording dir...
i have autoremove set to false, don't see how any accidental keypresses could delete that many dirs without deleting root dir, and not touching any other dirs on drive..
could some of my files having ".." in them have something to do with it? [it replaces the " *" with ".." because of the space]
i replaced the modern dir in web with fixed one by UJB, and all that works fine now..and haven't even used it but twice...and never deleted anything from it..
any ideas?
all my other recording dirs are fine...this was last rec. dir in list..
I am attempting to record a show called "Are You the One?".... But regardless of episode or how I attempt to record, I get a screen that suggests a conflict, but does not show one, I assume because I am recording no other show at that time in reality. Might that be related to the trailing question mark in the title?
Is it possible to add a setting into the settings screen, perhaps on the general section that allows us to choose the process priority that processes run at, for example i'd like the processes to run at high priority.
Would it be possible for NextPVR to check if the recording service is running prior to the recording time, and if not for the recording service to start.
I'm not sure if this is possible to do, but could the tray icon process do this perhaps as right clicking on the tray icon does give the option to restart the recording process.
I thought that if a tv show/film/whatever was due to start at 12pm, and it had a 1 minute padding to the start, then a process could check if the recording process was running at 11:58am and if it was running for it to make an attempt to restart it. This shouldn't affect programs that are currently recording as the recording process must be running for those programs to be recording.
This should stop the errors of "Recording service not running at recording time".
I am using an HDHomeRun (model HDHR3-US with the latest 20150406 firmware and 20150826 Windows software under Windows 10). I am not sure if my problem is the same as this thread, but it seems close. I have a problem where a scheduled show specifically on physical channel 49-3 (I have not been able to produce this problem on any other channel) will record only about 0.5-1s and then not record any more. At happens about 50% of the time with scheduled recordings, but I never have a problem if I just tune live to the channel. There is no indication of any failure in any of the logs, aside from the fact that I have noted in every case of a failure the last entry in the ndigitalhost-20.log.1 will be the indication of a StartStream for the show, and then it switches to a new file (ndigitalhost-20.log) and there is never a matching StopStream. I have been trying to debug this for a couple of weeks now and it is quite a challenge.
I have added an example from last night's test case (in this case the show "Elementary.S01E22.Risk.Management") that shows the two log files for ndigitalhost-20 so it can be seen there is a StartStream in one file without the corresponding StopStream. All the other logs are attached as well, along with the < 1s of show it recorded and a MediaInfo dump of the video file (showing it got enough of it to have a valid media file). I hope I am just missing something subtle in the log files. I also showed a capture of the HDHomeRun Config for that channel that indicates it is normally a strong channel.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts, suggestions, musings, etc.
Just wondering if I could get NPVR to include the channel name in the title of a recorded program as an option. In AUS, most TV channels transmit MPEG2 streams, however there are now 3 H264 streams. Most times there is no issue, but sometimes a program that is normally in HD (H264) will be changed to an SD channel (MPEG2) and therefore need different post recording treatment. I use VideoReDo and it's VRD AutoProcessor add-on with Comskip to semi-automate the removal of commercials. It works really well, but the different program streams require different actions within VAP. The addition of the channel name would assist me to filter the MPEG2 streams and set the different treatment.
Some EPG programmes have the format "program name:episode name" eg Stargate:100th episode.
Obviously this can mess up recurring recordings unless use "match start of name" is used.
I prefer to use "match exact name" so could a " Strip colon and after" feature be added?
Since 3.7.7 I am seeing a lot of cancelled recordings being recorded anyway. I have a lot of recurring recording and since our epg does not properly flag reruns (unless there is a ® at the end of the title) I go through the list of scheduled recordings every morning and cancel those I know to be reruns or I don't want. Since upgrading to 3.7.7 I am seeing a lot of canceled recordings being recorded anyway. I don't have the specific logs at hand but AFAICS they show nothing out of the ordinary. Is anyone else seeing this?
