New recordings not updating

[Bobins]

Martin. I had a look through the NextPVR logs and couldn't see anything helpful. With 3 Kodi clients the Web.log gets a bit messy.
I'll need to close a couple down, purge the logs and do some controlled testing when I can get the "better half" off the system ;-)
Does Kodi request updates to the recordings list or are they pushed from NextPVR?

We'll definitely need the logs. Temporarily disable 2 of the Kodi clients while you reproduce the issue. Probably best to restart the recording service before the test to, to restart the log files.

Kodi requests the recording list when the application starts. After that the NextPVR addon regularly (every 60 seconds) calls the /service?method=recording.lastupdated. If this call indicates there has been an update, then it asks Kodi to reload the recording list.

On thought is that most of the testing had been done of the same machine as NextPVR. You might want to make sure the time on your Kodi device isn't more than 60 seconds ahead of the PC, otherwise it may not see the update.

Ok checked time. Looks ok on all the Kodis.
Here's an extract of the web.log file covering the time the F1 recording finished (22:17) and it doesn't show in Kodi recordings list. Can't see the call you referred to coming in every 60 seconds.
The Kodi NextPVR client version is 2.4.13 and the fix you added was back in 2.4.7. (as indicated by Martin)

There is no Kodi calls shown in that few minutes of logs. You'd probably need to give us the whole log file, so we can see the general Kodi requests etc.

The debug Kodi log from any RPI would be good too. It will show all the requests for updates from when you start up.

Ok some progress.
Having re-booted one of the RPIs and shutting off the others, I now see the "/service?method=recording.lastupdated" call appearing in the web.log at minute intervals.
Looking back through the web.log files, it looks like kodi stops sending the update request at some point and a re-boot starts it working again.
I'll keep an eye on this and see if I can spot the time when the call stops happening. I'll then try and get a Kodi log from that time.

Managed to extract a log from Kodi.
The NextPVR web.log file shows NextPVR stopped receiving the update calls at about 21:49
Attached Kodi log covering that time.

That is not a debug log showing all the calls but at least it shows the error that turns off updating. Debug kodi logs are necessary to see the http calls the client makes. Also unfortunately because you only posted a snippet of web.log we can't do much to help you since your post was after the error.

Your Kodi log does seem to show that you need to reset the PVR database

Sorry Martin I've not really had much experience extracting logs from Kodi so thought I'd got the right one.
What do you mean exactly by "reset the PVR database"
I'll watch for the problem to start again and re-post logs. (currently only running one RPI)
