Can you: stop the NextPVR software, delete those file, then restart the software.Start watching a channel on XBMC. A file should be created in that directory. After 20-30 seconds, exit XBMC. Does that file disappear or stay? If it stays, does it continue to grow? If it's deleted, you might need to run a longer test, then show a screenshot of the files left behind, so I can see if there is a pattern to the file sequence to the files left behind - (like first 4 buffer files, or files after the first 4).

Before you do this though, make sure you have the R2 patches installed.

[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

Patches applied. The file stays and is growing, ran the channel for ~2 mins. Please let me know if you need anything else. Thanks!

So even after exiting XBMC, the file continued to grow? It sounds like for some reason it's not detecting the connection is gone.

Is XBMC and NextPVR on the same machine, or a different machine?

This is on same machine. I do have another XBMC client on the network, it is idle though, not streaming any TV, etc.

Nothing specific, just the standard windows firewall...NRecord, NDigitalHost, NextrPVR are all set and allowed.

I tried this.

The first file was created when XBMC starts playing a feed. If I stop the feed via XBMC the file keeps growing. If I shutdown XBMC the file keeps growing and stays there. It only stops if I stop NPVR.
The first file it created is:
'live-BBCOneHD-1612-1' and is 654MB and is 6 minutes 40 seconds in length.
it also creates a 2nd file
'live-BBCOneHD-1612-2' and is 811MB and is 6 minutes 40 seconds in length.
then a 3rd file:
'live-BBCOneHD-1612-3' and is 723MB and is 6 minutes 41 seconds in length.

I tried it again with another channel and it did exactly the same (started creating multiple files after 6 mins 40 secs).

While it was creating these files if I entered XBMC or NextPVR and tried to start a channel it would tell me 'Unable to find available capture device'

So basically once XBMC asks for a feed the Timeshift files are all kept until NPVR is stopped completely.

XBMC and NPVR are on the same machine.
It's quite obvious now why my HDD filled up so fast on Saturday and why sometimes it would say "Tuner no longer available".

Yeah, for some reason for you two, it sounds like .NET doesn't think the network connection has gone away, so the app never gets an error when it tries to send data, so it thinks everything is ok and it just continues to send data.

T800, are you also on the same machine as the NextPVR install, or a different machine?

If either of you have another separate XBMC machine, does it behave any better when you use this other machine as the XBMC client?

For the record, it shouldn't be a problem on the same machine. That's the type of environment I use for most of my testing and it detects the loss of connection just fine.

For both of us, XBMC and NextPVR are on the same machine.

I will clear the logs and the files in my timeshift folder and do the same thing but utilize the second client.
