Hi folks,
Two days ago, IPTV recordings stopped working on three local TVNZ-provided streams, although not on others - I was getting "403" errors in my Kodi Shield client. When I checked, live viewing in NPVR Windows via the web app on the NPVR machine itself, I am getting errors like "Streaming Failed (transcoder exited)" or "Failed to start requested stream" or (just now, in v6) "No tuner was available for the requested channel". Rebooting did not help.
I assume the issue is with mjh's m3u8 files so went to inspect/refresh the setup in NPVR via its localhost web interface. NB: I noticed there was no login request when I went there.
And: when I went to the Settings page on the web app, there was no settings submenu down the left as there had been previously. Just the Paypal, logs and other stuff in the main body.
So, since I'd been on an older v5 version for a while, I updated to v6 to see if that fixed things.
But: same problem, no Settings menu. This is even after using Ctrl+F5 and also clearing the Chrome cache via its own settings menu, exiting Chrome etc. So I just can't seem to defeat the cache problem.
Not to worry though - I tried Firefox which I almost never use for NPVR and it clearly didn't have a caching issue. But for the life of me, I can't detect what the problem is with streaming the TVNZ channels. For example, https://i.mjh.nz/nz/tv.9.m3u8 plays just fine in VLC on the same machine, but NextPVR gave the "no tuner" error above when I tried it. As I noted above, all other streams I tried (e.g. non-TVNZ channels; radio) worked fine.
I'll try another system reboot now to see if that solves the Settings UI/cache issue in Chrome.
But attached are the logs (older ones v5, newer v6) in case my original/primary TVNZ streaming problem is somehow apparent from them.
Thanks!
