TV Recorded Show Listing Disappeared

[octopus]

I have two Kodi 17.3 machines (W10Pro 64). One of them is running NPVR 3.9.2 as recording server. I had a strange issue after trying out using Kodi on Fire TV. (Fire TV is not being used anymore.)

The TV Recorded Show Listing would disappear after watched and exit a recorded show in Kodi. This happened on both Kodi machines as well as Fire TV with Kodi. (The issue started when trying the Kodi on Fire TV the first time.) The TV Recorded Show Listing would be restored after restarted Kodi. The issue did not happen when I watched and exit a recorded show in NPVR client.

I think Kodi on Fire TV (when it was used) might have corrupted something (which linked between Kodi and NPVR) in the recording server; but not sure what that is.

Any suggestion and help are greatly appreciated.

Do the recordings still show in NextPVR?

Do the recordings still show in NextPVR?

Yes, the recordings still showed in the NextPVR. If I restarted Kodi, the Recorded Show Listing would come back.

Since I have two kodi machines that have the same issue, I think I am going to do a clean re-install NextPVR in the recording machine. I need a way to export the scheduled recordings (timers or timer rules) and the recorded show listing from NextPVR. After a clean install of NextPVR, I will then import them back to the new install.

Does anyone have any instruction how to do the export and import?

Thanks.

That seems too drastic Why not follow suggested practice and upload you Kodi debug log and your NextPVR logs the next time this occurs.

NextPVR Settings --> Recording has the buttons that you are looking for ... http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?....Recording

If I enabled Kodi debugging, the issue would not occurred. That was strange. Then I just check the Kodi log. I found this entry in the kodi log.

19:34:59.104 T:1852 ERROR: CCurlFile::Open failed with code 0 for http://127.0.0.1:8866/service?method=rec...b20f25c39b

It looked like Kodi was unable to retrieve listing from the NextPVR server which was also in the same machine. However, I could manually retrieve the listing if I cut and paste the http URL in a browser. If I restarted Kodi, the listing would come back.

I have tried to look at nextpvr logs; but not sure what I am looking for. So, I attached both logs. Hopefully, someone can assist my issue.

Thanks.

Yes there is something weird happening as I see multiple calls to the same filename caused different results.

The XML looks ok to me. What do you use as your Windows date time format and do your change it?
