Maybe I broke NextPVR but... Failed to start stream is happening

[Armsp0]

Can scan all channels OK but when I attempt to watch any of them this failed to start stream error occurs. Worked great until recently

If you restart the service without rebooting does it work? I This message

could mean that NextPVR is starting before the tuner is available. If not your tuner might not be connected.

OK That fixed it thank you Martin,.

[mvallevand]

It won't really be fixed because you still will have this issue on reboot. I can't remember if sub implemented a better solution but there are things we can do to workaround this in your startup script if you'd like.

You can put a delay in PreStartup.sh if your machine needs it.

Ok, I thought you had added a check other then then reset in the browser to address this common issue.

I posted a possible script here https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid530707 and you can also check for the device itself via a script (see next post)

Since I haven't posted this script this one waits up to 30 seconds for adapter0 to start, YMMV.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
for i in {0..30}
do
echo $i
if [ -e /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 ] ; then
   break
fi
sleep 1
done

Note I don't help with personal scripts so I help those get you going.

many thanks Martin
