Using R5000-HD with Network Recorder Plugin

[checkbin99]

in the file you sent the first 2 lines are:

Code:

nextname=/home/martin/recordings/$2.ts

openname=$nextname

 Wouldn't that make openname also be set to  /home/martin/$2.ts?  Shouldn't just one have $2.ts in it?

Which is what you would want if they are on the same PC te $2.ts gets copied as part of nextname. Again this was written for potential Ceton users who don't need a separate server

So they are not on the same PC, but the path on both are the same. So would the logic be the same as if they are on the same PC?   I tried it but get a "Streaming Failed (transcoder exited)" error.

Log files are attached.

This part looks ok

What do you have for the openname and nextname?

Also did you see commands going to the r5000?

openname=$nextname

No, there is no activity on the NextCom app on the R5000 box.  I wonder if its because NextPVR is running as the nextpvr user in Linux and there is no such user in the R5000 server (the R5000 is running as a user called sagetv, since I've been also using it with sageTV).

I do see a file in the recording path called SecretsoftheZoo-S01E05-BeautiesandtheBeasts-15675061-0.mpg but it has zero length(owned by root)

Recording did work with python script that you provided last week though.

[checkbin99]

Working early tomorrow so I'll pick this up again tomorrow

[mvallevand]

Did you copy the python file to scripts and chmod it?

Definitely that openname is wrong it will be the Windows location with a $2.ts at the end

Seeing the nextname will help too.

Setting the live TV folder in NextPVR to the r5000 share isnt necessary. V5 is quite different from v4

Martin, here is my nextname and openname:

nextname=/mnt/R5000_Recordings/$2.ts

openname=$nextname

Yes the python script is in the scripts directory and is executable.

When you say openname is wrong it will be the Windows location with a $2.ts at the end. the Windows location I want to record to is the NFS  /mnt/R5000_Recordings.  On the R5000 Windows server, it is seen as C:\mnt\R5000_Recordings.

So I changed openname=C:\mnt\R5000_Recordings

Still getting Streaming Failed.  Transcoder exited

[mvallevand]

1. Ok openname should be

openname=C:\mnt\R5000_Recordings\$2.ts

2. Could you confirm the python script is working with

/var/opt/nextpvr/scripts/opendct.sh VERSION
