Skip Problem

[Reddwarf]

If you can post the client and server logs showing the problem, I can check them. It was a fairly trivial change, and shouldnt have caused problems as long as the client and server both had the patches.

As I said, there is nothing in the logs except recording service saying that it is starting. Guess the log is not written to disk before it crashes. Client logs just saying that it is trying to start live tv, then the client hangs.

I'd still like to see the logs.

From the recording service perspective, there is nothing different about live tv from the local machine or a remote client, until shortly after the recoridng has been started. If you can watch live tv directly on the server, but not from a client, then the error is happening shortly after the recording has been started, and I wanted to see where that was exactly.

I've just double checked it, and its working well on client/server here, so I'm fairly sure the patch is good. I'll wait and see if we get any other reports from other client/server users.

Logs attached, Nrecord.log from server, npvr.log from client. Fired up another client, at least this time it did not crash the server-

According to that log, the exact same thing should happen if you try to watch that channel directly on the server. ie, it hasn't got as far as the client/server differences.

But somehow it does not, and they are using the same decoders, PDVD12 for video and LAV for audio.

Looks like a client/server death situation for me too. Server seems to be running fine, then its recording service dies once the client connects. Popup error on the client was:

Code:

Logs for both server and client attached. The client doesn't run its recording service if that matters.

So, what can we do to solve this problem? Currently none of my clients work

Just roll back to an earlier version of the files surely, or maybe even just unregister the new NPVRTSReader2.ax file and hope it goes back to the previous functionality. My 'client' is just the laptop I use for writing plugins, so I can live with it being non functional for a while...

Unregistering the new TSReader2 did not work. I reinstalled the original 2.3.6 and applied patches R1, and now everything works smootly again. So, like it or not Sub, but something is screwed up in your newest patches.
