Always stops working after some time

[phu]

Hello there,

I migrated my installation to a docker environment recently. After some tweaks I got it working almost immediately and was able to record and play Live TV, so I scheduled some recordings. After some days I logged in and saw that all recordings failed with note "[Failed: The operation has timed out.]". I switched to Live TV and it did not work, so I restarted the container and after that everything worked again. I have now repeated this process multiple times. I attached the most recent log.

Best,
Philipp

You'd need to post a full set of log files.

We definitely see the service stop receiving requests including the stop leaving the tuner open so yes the full logs are needed. Perhaps the 3300+ lines of EPG data before hand was too much?

What kind of arm32 device are you running docker on and where is /config stored There are so many events being loaded in each scan and you must be getting lots of duplicates

2023-10-31 23:43:53.826 [DEBUG][19] - saving 10496 listings for channel: KiKA HD

Does it work better any better if you lower config.xml <EPGScanSeconds>60</EPGScanSeconds> to 30?

Its running on a Raspberry Pi 4 with Portainer. /config maps to /portainer/nextpvr/config. I reduced the EPGScanSeconds to 30 and will have a look if it has an impact. Might it be a problem to use the old config folder from the previous non-docker installation?

[mvallevand]

No /config is fine. There is a timeout of some sort happening when the EPG scan finishes, I don't know if it is CPU related or not.

One a machine like the RPi4 why not just run native?

I had that before, but since I want to use it for various purposes, I decided to containerize all applications.

[mvallevand]

Based on the first post it sounded like the issue might have started with Docker. Let's see if the reduced load helps.

The first day it worked fine, now today I found out that it failed again.
Here are the logs: https://wormhole.app/zmAYn#vpO5P4ZIn6gWoZ8dCeFsAw

Moreover, I am now seeing a lot less entries in the guide, only one day ahead for most channels.
