HDHR Prime/NPVR Service Stopped

[mikeh49]

I'm shaking down a new HDHR Prime and had a problem where starting a recording on the 3rd tuner killed the recording service with 2 other recordings in progress. (One of the in-progress recordings was Nashville, so that was not good.) With the recording service stopped, there were several later failed recordings. When I recognized this and restarted the recording service, I could not delete the failed recordings or what NPVR thought was in in-progress recording. Each attempt to delete a recording killed the recording service with the no connection to 127.0.0.1:8968 error. After the in-progress recording finished (it did not actually record), I was able to start the recording service, and scheduled recordings worked as expected. This morning after things settled down, I was able to delete the failed recordings. Relevant logs and event viewer messages from initial event attached. The Ndigitalhost-24 log is from an OTA tuner that was not in use, AFAIK, at 2230. However, I thought the last message might be of interest.

The initial problem happened at 2230 on 12/10/14. My attempts to delete/correct the condition are at about 2130 on 12/11/14.

In the interest of full disclosure, the 3rd Prime tuner that caused the problem had a channel list copied (export/import) from the Network Recorder install, rather than retrieved from the Prime's own scan. The virtual channel numbers are the same and the channel to be recorded at 2230 was on the 3rd tuner channel list, but there could no doubt be other differences. This may have been the first time the 3rd tuner was called. I have now corrected this, and all 3 Prime tuners have the same channel list. Also, I plan to remove Network Recorder this weekend.
