NEXTPVR not working, variety of symptoms.

[robbyrhaynes]

NextPVR used to work fine. Around about the middle of December, it stopped working. I run the client on the same machine as the server. It may have been when I upgraded to Windows 10, but I think I saw it working fine for a while. New recordings fail with "Recording Service not running at recording time". Live TV usually comes up with a black screen, but sometimes works (rarely) and sometimes gives me the can't connect message (I haven't seen that one in a while so I don't have the exact verbage). It is configured for a HDHOMERUN device, and the HDHomerun Viewer seems to work with no problems. Scanning for devices seems to work in the PVR client. I did an uninstall/reinstall to no avail.

Are you running the current 3.6.6 release?

Either way, then zip and attach the logs directory after one of these failed recordings and I'll take a look.

[robbyrhaynes]

Yes. Just attached logs.

They don't seem to be there. Did you zip them? (you need to)

[robbyrhaynes]

Maybe this will work better. I didn't know what I was doing the first time. I used the "make a zip file of my logs and show me where they are".

What was the name/times of a failed recording, so I know where to look in the logs?

Apparently something fixed recording, its working. Only live mode is still broken.

Restart your recording service, then try watching live tv, zip and post logs afterwards

OK, here is another set of logs.

It seems like the recording service is not running, can you run Services.msc and look at the properties of "NPVR Recording Service"? It should be set to start automatically. Even thou, it is known that Windows 10 sometimes does not start it auto and you have to start it manually.
