Socket exception on upgrade to 3.2.9

[JavaWiz]

Getting exception after upgrade to 3.2.9. I've rebooted the machine and still have a problem. Is 8968 a new port? I have not touched the FW in months. I do however have HDHomeRun, not sure if that is a factor.

Getting exception after upgrade to 3.2.9. I've rebooted the machine and still have a problem. Is 8968 a new port? I have not touched the FW in months.

No, it's not a new port. 8968 has always been used by the frontend to talk to the recording service.

It can only really be one of two things. Either the nrecord.exe isn't running, or you have a firewall blocking communication. Maybe something about the new release caused your firewall block it?

[BrainStormer]

I'm getting these errors too. I'm wondering if its because Nrecord is communicating over 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost which causes issues in widows 8 & 8.1

It's always used 127.0.0.1.

I think you're referring to the sandboxing of win8 style metro/modern apps, which doesn't apply here, because NextPVR is a desktop app. For that sandboxing problem, localhost is also a problem, not just 127.0.0.1

I saw ths in the PLEX forums, thought it pertained to services too.

"The 127.0.0.1 was replaced by localhost in recent update of Plex Media Server to overcome security lockdown in Windows 8.1 for 127.0.0.1"

[sub]

I'm not aware of any other Windows problems with using 127.0.0.1. I'm using it here in Windows 8.1, and everyone else has been using the same with every other NextPVR release, and I don't remember any significant problems with it in the past.

[BrainStormer]

So here is what I find.
When I go to Live TV I first get " An existing Connection was forcibly closed by the remote host"

Then I get " No Connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8968" Repeating. My Silicondust prime is stuck sending the stream to the
server and the file on the server never grows and the recording service appears stuck.
and Status is blank.

[BrainStormer]

It probably is related to the Silicondust Prime.

Is nrecord.exe disappearing from the task list when that happens?

It looks like it's successfully sending the request to the recording service, but maybe the recording service is dying before it can respond.

[BrainStormer]

In Task Manager I have NRecord (32 Bit) under that it says NPVR Recording Service.
After the hang it still has Nrecord (32 bit) but the Recording Service drop down is no longer there.
