Live TV Stream Buffering and Stopping on Kodi Client

[lemonjello05]

I am a new user running nextpvr on a backend pc with a matricom kodi client.

I am having an issue that when I watch live tv for a while the stream will freeze and sometimes will just say buffering, but never finish buffering.

I looked at the nrecord logs on the backend pc and found this:

From there the logs continue to show the same two lines:

2016-09-04 20:22:03.935 [DEBUG][40] liveHandleRenewalTime contains 0 handles:

My best guess is that my live tv buffer is somehow filling up the small hard drive space on the matricom client, but I have no idea how to fix that. I have tried turning off timeshifting, but that did not seem to help.

I would post kodi logs, but I am not sure how to pull those off the matricom box.

If you want to zip and attach your logs, I'll see if anything stands out.

To me they do everytime I see these in those timeshifted web logs

The tuner is screwed up in Kodi. Maybe try this patch http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...post506503

Here are the logs I have from today, assuming I did the attachment right.

I haven't applied the patch mvallevand suggested yet. Mostly because I am not sure how, but I am guessing that I have to replace an existing dll with the one attached to that thread.

I also looked at my temp folder where the live tv buffer was stored and found a lot of old .ts files that I deleted to clear space.

Thanks all for your help.

Yeah, just stop the recording service, and drop the file in C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR, replacing the existing file of the same name, then restart the recording service.

[lemonjello05]

So I stopped the recording service and replaced the dll, but now I can't seem to start it again. I get a windows service start failure when I click to run the nrecord.exe. I have even tried restarting, assuming the service would run at start-up, but I get the same error on start-up. I am guessing there is some easy trick to this that I don't know.

Is an nrecord.log created?

[lemonjello05]

There is an nrecord.log. I attached it.

Have you tried a reboot since installing the patch? Other than this database lock, the log looks generally ok.

[lemonjello05]

Yeah I rebooted before I posted. I got the windows service start failure upon reboot, so the recording service isn't starting.
