unable to load newa data

[ReplayHarry]

I'm running Kodi Gotham (long story why I am still on it) with NextPVR 3.5.7 running on a Windows 8.1 Brix.

Been using X-newa for a long time very happily.

This past weekend all of a sudden I get "unable to load newa data" when I start up X-newa from Kodi. I had not made any changes or anything. So today was my day to try to work out what was wrong.

So I try it on my desktop (test) machine and I get the exact same thing.

By the way, it is version 2.4.7 of X-newa. So after doing all the obvious stuff like reloading Kodi, re-booting the machine, nothing changed.
I had had a similar problem many months ago and what I did then was uninstall X-newa and reinstall. Everything was fine after that. So I tried that to no avail. When I re-installed it was now version 2.4.7rc2.

I use X-newa all the time and I miss it.

What logs do you need and what else should I try?

I apprecate any help you can give.

I will need the kodi.log, you can use the Kodi addon and provide the url, plus my standard answer to send the complete logs folder from nextpvr

If you are using kodi pvr turn it off.

Here is the Kodi log. I see something about 1400 hrs ref: HTTP error.

I'll add the NextPVR logs in just a few minutes.

Funny enough it is now working on my desktop (test) machine. All I did was access NEWA (on the HTPC) from my web broser on the testtop and it started working. Tried that on the HTPC, still no go.

What is the output you get from

http://localhost:8866/public/services/InfoXML.aspx

I have seen errors when the extended directories are incorrectly configured.

Well, that did it. That url showed that a directory that had been set for recording in NextPVR was no longer there. I had deleted the directory (I guess when this started, and I don't use X-newa everyday) as it was redundant, but I had not deleted it from the recording directories within NextPVR. Once I deleted it in NextPVR, X-newa was back working. Sure sorry I put you through this trouble for a stupid user mistake. Just shows me that even something I change that I "think" is small and inconsequential may be a problem. I did not even recall changing it till I saw this message in the URL you gave me.

Thanks as always for your help. I really appreciate it. And sorry again for putting you through some trouble. You are clearly a very patient man.

No problem I've pinged UJB on this before, maybe he can fix things and not send bad xml this cycle.


Glad you are enjoying x-newa.

This should fix the issue. It will be included in the next release of NEWA.

Thanks much. I put it in just now.
