KODI Causing recording service to crash

[mjccox]

My problem is that every time I quit KODI it causes the NPVR recording service to stop/crash.

When I start my pc then start kodi then try to watch live tv it just buffers for a minute... then I have to minimize and restart the recording service which wouldn't be a big deal for some but i'm using this on an HTPC and almost never have my keyboard at hand.

Then, if I ever quit KODI it causes it to stop/crash... the icons are still in the tray but to make it work again in KODI or the NPVR gui I have to select restart recording service.

After quitting KODI a couple minutes ago I decided to check the Task Manager for the service and find that it is in the list "Stopped". I'm not sure why.


Thank you for your input!!!

oh yeah here's my log



EDIT** I'm just looking at the services window in Windows and see that there is an option to "Restart the Service" if it fails... I'm going to select this... But I'd still be interested to hear what is causing it.. (I'd rather fix the problem than just restart it all the time) --THANKS!

EDIT#2** After monitoring the task manager as I did this again I have narrowed down the problem to KODI start-up rather than shut down... When I quit KODI I am still able to start NPVR gui and start up live tv. But as soon as I start KODI again before I even navigate within KODI the recording service stops. thought it might help figure out the solution. (BTW automatic restart service thing in Windows is really slow).

You need the Kodi.log usually with debug logging enabled plus all the NextPVR logs.

This is really on for sub, I alluded to a fixed rate and this is an indication when a signal isn't found

2015-02-26 23:06:24.223 [DEBUG][14] Device reports resolution(3): 0x0 (fps:0) (aspect:0) (progressive:0) (videoIdCode:0)
...
2015-02-26 23:06:24.109 [ERROR][14] Failed to set requested bitrate mode

but that doesn't really show why it would crash unless there is a driver problem which this earlier error might point to

2015-02-26 22:56:11.598 [ERROR][14] IMediaControl->Run() failed 0x80040154. Trying again.
2015-02-26 22:56:13.598 [ERROR][14] failed again

could reinstalling npvr help? I noticed my kodi.log was like 90% warnings so not sure what's what.

[mvallevand]

It doesn't look like a NextPVR problem to me.

Martin

[mjccox]

Yeah ... the warnings seems to be all in the kodi.log eh?

[mvallevand]

When you use a lot of add ons errors in the log will happen. Maybe trying installing to a second folder with Kodi with no plugins and use skin.confluence and run in portable mode -p to see if is is the client.
