IPTV tunning process was broken since version 5.0.1.191214

[fwpvr789]

Hi,

I installed version 5.0.1.191214 (as well as the later version 5.0.1.191224) and found that the IPTV tuning process was broken. see the configuration below, in the previous versions, NextPVR will wait for the executable batch file to finish before starting streaming the source "http://***", in the newer versions, it doesn't wait at all and start streaming immediately right after launching the batch file. this results in an invalid streaming source since the source will not be ready until the batch file finishes the execution. Is it something to do with the .NET core upgrade or something else? Logs will be provided upon request.

<tuning>
  <type>IPTV</type>
  <locator>
    <source>http://***</source>
    <transcode>true</transcode>
    <executable>IPTVPretune.bat</executable>
    <args>***</args>
  </locator>
</tuning>

Thanks!

Can you see if this updated NShared.dll helps? (stop the software, drop the new one in the place of the old one, overwriting it, then restart)

Great! this DLL fixed the issue. Did you just make a code change or it is just an old version?

thanks.

I changed the code, and it'll be included in future release.

Thanks a lot for the quick fix! I have another issue to report but I will create a new thread for it.
