for a few days things have been fairly stable. Now last night we had all our recordings simply not work. The recording folders were created but no files. ALso, tuning wouldnt' work. Restarting all services left NPVR in state where it complained about "no tuners available". The only fix was to reboot the machine.
I am using the latest version of NextPVR (3.5.7) with the webclient to X-NEWA on an RPi 2. I have noticed that sometimes after playing a recording, it exits back to the Recordings list, but it takes several seconds for it to update. It seems like this situation happens more often when the recording service is recording several shows at the same time, but I'm not sure if that is just coincidence.
The situation just happened again after I watched a CSI: Cyber. I captured the logs which are attached. In looking at the webclient.log, I see that the RELOAD_RECORDINGS took 13 seconds between LoadList@1 and LoadList@2.
If I'm watching a recording while it's being broadcast, and the broadcast then finishes while I'm still watching it, IGL can't access the file to rename it. Logical, I guess, as that would break the stream. It's shown as an access error in the logs.
Is there a way, Martin, to check for such an access error (or maybe there's another flag you can check) and delay the rename until it's no longer being watched?
I recently modded the Confluence skin for Kodi to show the Original Air Date for programs in the info pop-up by adding the following code to C:\Program Files (x86)\Kodi\addons\skin.confluence\720p\DialogPVRGuideInfo.xml, within the only <content> block in that XML file:
The code did work, but original air date for every single program is showing up as Wed, Dec 31, 1969, regardless of whether or not the program has a valid original air date. I know all the programs I tested have valid original air dates that were correctly parsed from the XMLTV data because the correct date shows up in the XML files that accompany recordings made by NextPVR, as well as in NextPVR's own front-end GUI when I modify the NextPVR's skin's Popups/EventDetails.xml file to include the @originalAirDate text.
Is this an error in the plugin interface for NextPVR, or an error in the NextPVR plugin for Kodi, or did I just write the Kodi skin modification code incorrectly?
I'm running Windows 7 with Version 3.3.8 NextPVR. All of my recordings are scheduled manually. Every Saturday I have a scheduled refresh for Recurring programs. So imagine my surprise tonight when I find that recordings that were scheduled for 9 PM actually occurred at 8 PM. I don't understand why the recordings that are scheduled for a certain time isn't honored after a switch from Daylight Savings time to Standard Time.
Please let me know how I can avoid this next Spring when certain parts of the United States 'spring' forward an hour.
Hi.
I know I've posted this before but I cannot find the original to update.
I have a Hauppauge OpenCable Receiver Dual Tuner
Model: WinTV-DCR-2650 with a cable card.
I can record programs fine, but if I schedule 2 simultaneous recordings I only get partial programs even though it shows recording. Opening the recorded program shows only a few minutes on each. Monday night, it recorded 36:42 on each program. The tuner then 'failed' to record 2 subsequent recordings at 9pm and 10pm respectively.
I tested it again today with 2 random shows at 7pm and it only recorded a couple of minutes of each one.
I also have an HD homerun and a usb tuner which are both fed from antenna. If I record 2 programs on 2 different tuners, it seems to work properly, but since my antenna signal is not as good as the cable signal, I would rather not have to do that.
I've attached the logs for each day.
Thanks and I apologize again for creating a new thread for this.
When I go to the manual recording screen the first item displayed in the list is: Recording Type: Record once.
Next line is: Channel: WPBN is shown. The channel I want is at the end of the list of channels I have to click through with the right arrow. Is there a way to get the channel I want to "show up" sooner in the long list?
Over night I had one recording fail to occur and the EPG automatic update also failed.
Yesterday morning I switched back to Win 10 (I dual boot with Win 7). I have had NPVR working reasonably well on Win 7 after tweaking a few things. I originally switched back to Win7 because I had problems getting NPVR to work satisfactorily on Win 10.
Yesterday morning I did a manual EPG update and then set up what I wanted to record. At 9:30 pm the computer woke up and recorded okay (except the same show was recorded twice). There should have been a recording at midnight but nothing was recorded. At 5:00 am there should have been an EPG update. The update didn't occur then but took place at 7:15 am when I manually woke the computer.
I run a ParallelProcessing batch file to stop the computer from going to sleep while a recording is occurring. It changes the Power Plan and is logged in the PowerPlan log. I have had this working well on Win 7. The computer goes to sleep after 10 minutes on the Balanced Plan and never on the High Performance Plan.
It appears from my reading of the logs that the computer woke at midnight for the recording but nothing happened and again the computer woke at 5:00 am and nothing happened.
I have an encrypted Satellite box whose outputs are composite or HDMI. I would like to get the live TV feed working on my Kodi network from the HDMI with pass through for WAF.
To complicate matters my Kodi network is android nodes. And I dont want to go back to full HTPC in the living room where the sat box lives.
In the horizontal interface, if you hit left/right followed quickly by Ok/Enter, you will sometimes get the new choice you wanted but if the cursor animation has not fully completed you get the old choice you do not want.
