Unable to access Recordings - Locked database
|

I am suddenly unable to access the Recordings screen - NPVR goes Non-responsive.
The logs show a locked database. This is immediately after a reboot. Logs attached. Any suggestions?

Try temporarily removing everything from C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Plugins and reboot to see if it helps

Unfortunately, it didn't.
I only had the System plugin. Time to re-install?

SearchLite gets installed to program files, there is an uninstaller if you want.

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand.
Are you suggesting I uninstall Searchlite? But it comes as part of the standard install. Does the database have a permanent lock that survives a reboot (i.e. is written to the database itself) or is NPVR locking it when starting up?

I keep seeing npvr.db3-journal pop up and disappear.
I have managed (not sure how - it must access the database) to export my recordings. Is my best option to stop everything, copy empty.db3 to npvr.db3, import my recordings and re-scan my channels? Or should I do it "properly" and re-install?

Quote:But it comes as part of the standard install.No it doesnt. Its not installed by the installer.

All fixed.
Stopped all processes. Copied C:\Users\Public\NPVR\empty.db3 to npvr.db3. Restarted everything. Re-set up my devices. Imported recordings. Re-installed SearchLite. I have no idea what the problem was.

Was the file extension of a recording changed prior to these problems? I have seen a locked database after the conversion of a recording from ts to mpg. Don't know if this could cause it, though, just a thought.

Don't know if this could cause it, though, just a thought. Ah Ha!, that;s it!, nice catch. I reported my experience of this problem in this thread http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post399249 I also convert .ts to mpeg via postprocessing.bat (well I am trying to anyway) so you mention of mpeg conversion got my interest. I can now reproduce the problem at will:- rename the .ts to mpeg and npvr gets a database lock when you try to enter recordings. kill npvr rename .mpeg back to .ts and try again, all works fine.
