Live TV stream freezes if left on over night.

[relink2013]

So I am loving NextPVR so far, except a few quirks here a and there. The most irritating one is the LiveTV stream just freezing. I originally had the buffer directory on the same external Raid0 array as the recordings folder, and the LiveTV stream would freeze within 10min-1hr+ (kind of random), so I moved the buffer directory to the C: drive of the NextPVR server, and now I can let the TV run all day long and its fine. But for some reason If I leave it playing over night, at some point it always locks up.

I let the TV run from 5:30AM to 9:30PM and it didnt lock up once. So I turned it off for a bit. Later on when I went to bed I put the TV back on like always, and at some point over night it locked up. I have done this test 3 days in a row now. It seems like I can let it play all day long, but if I try and let it play over night it will lock up.

Server Details:
NextPVR 3.8.3 (160925)
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
Intel I5 3317U
8GB DDR3
C: 700GB SATAIII drive <Buffer
R: 2TB USB3 RAID0 (two 1TB drives) <Recordings ONLY

Client Details:
Windows 10
Kodi Jarvis with NextPVR plugin.

I didnt put this in the Kodi forum for 2 reasons,
1. I used to run ServerWMC prior and never had an issue with Kodi.
2. When the Stream freezes, Kodi does not freeze, kodi is still running just fine. its only the video stream the freezes.

Im including multiple zips of my logs since the beginning since I dont have an exact time of when this is occuring.

I guess you need to turn off automatic EPG updates or move the time to a period of the day you don't watch TV

Code:

This i a logic issue I have explained to sub. A database lock timeout is longer then the lease renew. That being all the cached information on the stream has changed so it could cause other isseus.

Ah, I wasnt expecting a reply so quick. Awesome, I will change the time to something else, and see what happens. Thank you.

you know...just thinking out loud here. But if this is a problem, why not just have an option to update the EPG whenever NPVR detects that no tuners are in use? This way there is no chance of the update causing issues with anyone's live stream.

NPVR already monitors the status of the tuners, so basically as soon as the status of all tuners is inactive, the server can go "quick update the EPG while no one is looking!" Just a thought.

This fix has solved my problem. Thank you.
