Nextpvr Shield TV Oreo Update Tuner Lost

[mvallevand]

The logs are good and I am concerned that you toggled timeshift without restarting Kodi.

This line especially

23:13:36.296 T:192073872624 DEBUG: AddOnLog: NextPVR PVR Client: CloseLiveStream

is trying to close a stream that was playing from the non timeshifting session in timeshifting mode. In non-timeshifting mode the client doesn't signal the channel stop to NextPVR it waits for a timeout or a new stream so this would cause unknown behaviour in both Kodi and Nextpvr

Ok, this time around, I checked to make sure TimeShift is enabled and then completely rebooted the Shield and the PC that NextPVR backend runs on to eliminate as much as possible. Same result (no tuning to station) when I tuned from the guide to 503 to watch the NFL game. Logs attached. Time to look for is between 14:05 -14:10. After, I completely restarted the shield again. Kodi logs are at https://paste.kodi.tv/akinutipod

Hope this helps.

Your log looks fine and I have no idea why the addon is not moving on to read block #1. I looked at the code, and can't see anything but there are a lot of mutex locks involved in the ring buffer and I think you need to post on the Kodi NextPVR sub forum to get the developer of this new code involved.

I tried this today on the FireTV 4k and I get exactly the same problem. The temp file on the servier is ok and it works with timeshifting off. On Windows timeshifting works much better. Sub when you tested did you run on your Shield?

My feeling is that the code is assuming the network buffer is able to handle the client making request 24*32768 bytes without doing any reads. I t think based on other discussions (and on the logs) the server will just pump out 32768 on each range request, whether the client wants them or not.

No - I've never used Kodi on an Android device. (and not really something I've got the bandwidth to start playing around with)

Mike did look at ShieldTViewer's logs, and had some thoughts, so hopefully something will come out of that.

Ok, I am able to compile Kodi v18 rc4 and install it on my FireTV. If he needs me to test anything let me know, you can give him my email.

Let me know if there is anything you need me to do to test anything. Happy to try to help. Appreciate you looking into this.

Thanks,

I compiled Kodi RC4 nightly with a small fix and it now runs for me on my FireTV 4k. If you want a link to the file PM me. It does not have all the binary addons just pvr-nextpvr

I can't get it navigate very well but I have this problem on Windows too.

I installed the Kodi RC4 nightly and tested it out. Good news is that the channel appears when I select it from the Grid or the Channel menu. I was able to pause the show, fast forward, and that started out ok. As soon as I tried to rewind, or skip back -10 seconds, it would freeze and I had to force quit the app. Also, the "timeshift" bar, once it got over 11 seconds, would always increase real-time, even when I would try to fast forward and attempt to "catch up" to live TV.

I tried to upload the logs, but Kodi log uploader will not allow me to as it keeps saying that it exceeds 1MB. Is there another way to get to that file manually?

Attaching the NextPVR log, but I'm not sure if it's helpful without the Kodi log... I was playing around with this between 22:30 and 23:15.

I was able to get a Kodi logfile showing it freezing after attempting to seek -10sec. That locked up Kodi, but the file was small enough to be uploaded. Kodi log: https://paste.kodi.tv/lugogipama
NextPVR log below. Time to look for is between 23:33 and 23:37.
