Recording service problem

[WKleeven]

I am having trouble with the recording service, not recording anything, causing crashes, etc.

In the logs I see something strange, but don't know what to do with it.
I prefer not to install the 2.3.6 version at this moment, so I hope anyone can tell me how to fix this.

It looks like it's trying to use an local in-process recording service, but it cant because they main recording service is already using the port. It could be related to firewall or antivirus software getting in the way of communication so that the nextpvr.exe session isnt able to see the recording service is also running.

What version are you using? There were some fixes in this area in the last couple of builds to identify if this is the case.

As you can see in my signature, I'm using 2.2.6 but this problem just suddenly occurred. I just noticed this problem seems to be gone after a reboot.
I guess it will re-occur after the pc wakes from sleep?

Since this problem occurred, sometimes no waketimer is set also when programming a show manually.

I've been thinking, what would happen if the MVP has finished playing a recording or video and the pc would go to sleep (with the mvp still on)?
Could that cause this problem? (as opposed to the pc going to sleep, when the mvp is not turned on).

If the PC goes to sleep either you will go back to the main mvpmc menu or mvpmc will crash (and you will lose the WOL capability, because the MAC address is lost)

Just did some testing. After waking the from sleep, I tried to record a show that was already running. No recording taking place.
So I rebooted and then NPVR recorded without any action from me.

Did some more testing. The problem indeed doesn't seem to have anything to do with the mvp and the problem is consistent.

Immediately after a reboot, everything is normal.
After the pc has gone to sleep and woken up again, no recording will take place. After a reboot recording will start automatically.

After a reboot, nothing strange in the logs. When I stop and start "NPVR service", nothing strange in the logs.
After the pc has gone to sleep and woken up again, error codes in the logs like in post #1:

It might be worth a try to use Resume.bat to stop and start the recording service (after the pc has woken up from sleep/hibernate).

I just tried the following:
After the pc has gone to sleep and woken up, I manually stopped and started the recording service. Then I can't start NPVR from the task(?)bar (in windows, right bottom, NPVR icon, rightclick). I can start NPVR from start menu, but when I program a show, NPVR freezes.

Logs attached.

Maybe you have to kill and restart NTray.exe also in Resume.bat. (You can download PSTools and use PSKill.exe to terminate Ntray)
