No Entries in Program Guide after Reboot

[RocketDestroyer]

My system:
Raspberry Pi 4 mounted in an Argon M.2 case with a 1TB SSD drive.  I am running LibreElec and Kodi with the NextPVR addons.  The program guide is being downloaded from Schedules Direct.  I am connecting to the system via a wireless network.

 After a reboot of the system there is no data in the program guide and the recording list is also empty.  After about a minute or so the recorded program list is populated bu no data ever shows up in the program guide. 

  During start up I receive an error, "Remote Communications Server failed to start".   I can get the server to restart by going to Settings>PVR and Live TV>Client Specific Settings>Refresh cache for channel icons.  (Update all channels and Update channel groups has the same effect).  After that the program guide shows my channels until the next reboot.

  I have LibreElec set to wait for network before starting Kodi with a maximum wait time of 20 seconds.

  I understand that normally I would never shut down the system but this system is for my daughter and I don't want her to have with messing with this should the power go off for example.

  I can't figure out how to capture the NextPVR error logs in LibreElec on the Raspbery Pi but I have captured the Kodi error log.

I sent you the link on how to get the zipped NextPVR logs from the web server, but we probably don;t need it.

Kodi fails initially

2023-03-05 10:34:27.165 T:964 error <general>: CCurlFile::CReadState::FillBuffer - (0xed312708) Failed: Couldn't connect to server(7)

and does reconnect shortly after

2023-03-05 10:34:34.675 T:976 debug <general>: CurlFile::Open - <http://127.0.0.1:8866/service?method=session.initiate&ver=1.0&device=xbmc>

but you will need more than one minute, for a refresh

2023-03-05 10:35:39.454 T:1081 debug <general>: script.kodi.loguploader: script started

This is controlled via advancedsettings.xml https://kodi.wiki/view/Advancedsettings.xml#epg If you have complete data you can make that a lower number.

I have asked Kodi Team why they delete the data in the first place.

You are going to need to turn on Componet specific logging for PVR as explained here https://kodi.wiki/view/Settings/System/L...ic_logging Kodi team says the channels data shouldn't be getting removed.

Martin,

  Thanks for the help.  I believe that I have captured the error log that you asked for.  At least I hope so.  I am very much a noob at all of this.

I let the program run for several minutes after boot up. The recordings list shows up after about 30 seconds but the guide entries never are loaded.

No that isn't the correct log but after talking with Kodi developers I believe I will be able to make a change so the Kodi Nexus doesn't delete the guide on startup. Untill then the logs don't show that you changed advanced settings. I can duplicate the delete nut Kodi asks for a refresh for me.

Very sorry, I feel like I am wandering around in the dark of night with my eyes closed.

I have tried again and hope that this time I did the capture correctly.

I still don't see you using advanced settings to force reloading an empty guide. Without thar you will need either to force the EPG update or have a bit more patience and Kodi will reload it I will look at it deeper next week

Well obviously I have no idea what I'm doing.  The problem is that Kodi never loads the program guide no matter how long I wait.   I started it last night and I still see no program guide entries 12 hours later.

The logs don't show why the wait though. In my testing I have not seen what you are experiencing I guess need to wait until I change the API usage

As I mentioned earlier, I am using this system on a wireless network.  I have discovered that if I use in with a wired internet connection the program guide and the recording list both populate immediately.  So whatever is happening is due to the use of the wireless network.  Unfortunately, when I give it to my daughter it will have to be used with a wireless network as she doesn't have a network port near her TV.

I have included the NextPVR log files for both the wifi doesn't work and the wired internet works scenarios.
