Intermittent NRecord Crash When Changing Channels (using Kodi)

[2leftfeet]

As I anticipated, here is what happened on the Nextpvr - client front end:

Started on HDHR5, switched channel to Prime, all okay.

On first channel change Prime -> Prime, the client locked up, server continued to run (no crash)

the tuner allocated to the Prime channel, was not released and is still marked as active by the Prime. The LiveTV buffer continued to accumulate.

the tuner was released only after I stopped and restarted the nrcord service.

Do you mean as in client running on another machine? I was trying to get the most basic logs I could showing the problem, by taking out complications like Kodi etc, and instead just getting simple NextPVR logs from a single machine setup. Unfortunately you've replaced one complication with another. I'd prefer to just get clean logs where you were using NextPVR's own UI on the server.

OK sub,

I did as you asked - tested with nextpvr front end on server.

nrecord stopped after a channel change Prime -> prime,

here is the logs, but no crash dump was generated this time.

Does CNN work on channel 600 with the SiliconDust software? It fails on two tuners in those logs.

yes, flawlessly

prior to 4.2.1, never had an issue with that channel

Thanks - I'm checking the code.

I can run some more tests if that would be helpful.
Single-machine tests will be difficult for me though. My server isn't set up as a front end (no monitor, graphics card, codecs, etc)

My server is also headless - I use VNC to access server functions and can run anything remotely with it.

Can you see if this patch helps?

So far it's working great!
I've changed channels about 50 times without issue.
I'll continue to monitor it.

Attached are some logs with the new patch in case they're useful.
Note - I still have the Unmanaged.dll patch in-place.

Thanks!
