Hi.

I just recently installed 3.2.9 over 2.5.9 after installing .Net 4.0.

I get occasional errors when trying to schedule new recordings - not every time, but occasional. NPVR thows a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" dialog box. I've attached the contents of that dialog box as well as logfiles.

In this example, I try to QuickRecord "The Godfather 3". As I can see, it complains over some elements missing in the skin. I have tried to change between the default skins to no avail. Relevant part of log here:

Code:

During the installation process, i can se (due to repeated attempts) that it skips the majority of files it is treating. I can unfortunately not find the log that records what goes on during installation (where would it be?), and it's impossible to copy from the info-window that can be seen while installing. I have tried running the installation as administrator, but same result.

I suspect, that the error I see is due to all parts not being installed properly.

How can I get the installation program to do a proper installation (still keeping my settings and DB intact of course)?

Skipping a lot of files (because they are the same date as the ones already installed) is quite normal when updating NextPVR & nothing to worry about.... as are those skin element not found messages & they won't be causing any problems scheduling recordings.

OK - I also thought I remembered things being skipped from previous updates. I was just guessing there could be a relationship based on the evidence at hand :o

But if it's not that, then what?

Yesterday I actually "fixed" it by going in and changinh the tuner priority - that allowed me to record a show that I could not schedule just previous to that...

Maybe it's related to some of the changes in the conflict detection?

This is probably unrelated, but there are millions of duplicate messages in the log including ...

Are there many entries for Star Trek in the "Recurring" recordings list of TV Recordings (or the original NextPVR Recordings menu)? Would one (or two) recurring recording for "All episodes this channel" or "weekly this channel this time" be easier to manage?

That's odd. I only have one recurring entry: "title like '%star trek%'".

Maybe it's one of the earlier incarnations of this functionality that has left that mess in the database... Wink As can be seen, they are from 2010.

Wonder how I can get rid of it?
