Recording Service Crash (3.3.8)

[Lee Thompson]

I've been noticing two shows have been periodically not recording properly and I finally went through the logs to see what was up.

In NEWA the error messages for the shows were either "Recording Error: Recording service was stopped during recording" or "Recording Error: Recording service not running at recording time".

It seems that around the time of the first show is nearly over (1:04AM) the EPG download (via SchedulesDirect) takes place but something causes NRecord to crash.

Going through NRecord.log I saw see this at the same time as the shows were recording:

Code:

015-02-08 01:27:38.019    [ERROR][9]    Unexpected error processing chunk: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at NShared.SchedulesDirectJSONEPGSource.ProcessChunk(List`1 channelsChunk, IEPGUpdateCallback callback)
   at NShared.SchedulesDirectJSONEPGSource.UpdateEPG(IEPGUpdateCallback callback)

I also occasionally see:

Code:

2015-02-08 01:39:33.230    [ERROR][8]    Unexpected error saving scheduled recording: System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteException (0x80004005): database is locked

   at System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior behavior)
   at System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
   at NUtility.ScheduledRecording.Save()

I'm attaching the complete log file to this message as well.


Within the time range of this log file, the following show record failures occurred:

It is best to change the SD update to a time when you are not planning on recording.

First thing I did.

Having said that there may be situations (like recording patterns for 'whenever it's on') when that may not be avoidable.

It can't hurt to switch off "Update EPG during Live TV" ... http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post479455
