nextpvr server stopped running

That is exactly what I expected and very similar to what @baj1 saw with the old Microsoft.System.Drawing API. Either NextPVR is sending bad data to libSkiaSharp or there is a bug in libSkiaSharp. You would need the verbose logs to see what might be going on at 12:03:17

Maybe check media/thumbs and media/shows to see if have an zero-bytes jpg files. I also had this problem when some of the jpg files in media/responses were actually text http responses that were saved unchecked.

Attached is a verbose journalctl for the entries near the crash.

I did find a zero byte jpg:  media/shows/2021 NCAA Basketball Tournament.fanart.jpg

I deleted it now.  I tried the same scrolling in UIDroid and I got it to crash again.  The verbose log for that crash is also included in the zip.

The journal just confirms the module that is failing. You'd need the verbose NextPVR nrecord.log at the time of the crash. The good thing is it seems you can reproduce it. The bad thing is that it doesn't mean the problem is in NextPVR.

OK, I found and deleted 64 jpgs in shows and 5 in thumbs that were text or bad jpgs but I was still able to crash it again.

Any other thoughts?

And for the 4th time, please tell me how do I set verbose logging?  I didn't see anything obvious in the settings menu or config.xml.

Thanks

I found the ExtendedLogging option in config.xml.  I don't know why it didn't find it when I searched for 'Logg' in the file.  I found it manually looking thru it.  Sigh.

OK, I got verbose logging on now.  Here are the logs for the latest crash.

Unfortunately this is not verbose logging. I think sub fixed it and in config.xml just set the VERBOSE <LogLevel> If not you can go to Settings and hold the control key. I've also explained on to do this for linux if you search the forum.

Is this better?

[mvallevand]

I don't know at least it is crashing in the same part area in the list. Try deleting

/var/opt/nextpvr/thumbs/Satan's School for Girls-E83AE9EE559F962BF4BFCF6AC4E2A94.jpg

If you scroll really slowly after getting to

/videos/S

does it work?

I was able to slowly scroll down to Saturday Night Live Backstage and stay on that entry for a minute.  Then it crashed as soon as I tried to scroll down one more entry.  Here are the files in Media Shows:

Should I delete the Saturday Night Live entries?
