"Streaming Failed (transcoder exited)" - Rasp Pi 3

[motocrossmann]

Hi-

I'm trying to setup NextPVR on a Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspberian as the OS.    The installation went fine, and I was able to detect ClearQAM channels on my Hauppauge 950Q.    The problem is that when I go and try and watch a channel, I get the message:  "Streaming Failed (transcoder exited)"

When I look at the device adapter log, I see this:

<tuning>
  <type>QAM</type>
  <name>KCRA</name>
  <locator>
    <conf>57000000</conf>
  </locator>
  <service_id>3</service_id>
  <service_type>27</service_type>
</tuning>

20:22:36:656 [DEBUG] starting stream: LIVE&/home/pi/recordings/live-KCRA-420-22.ts
20:22:36:656 [DEBUG] slip seconds: 1200

I'm not sure where to go from here.   I did try and install the Kodi NextPVR client, but I get nothing from there.  What's also weird is that the file in the log doesn't exist (adapter0-QAM-channels.conf.) Any help is appreciated.

Do you have any *channels.conf files in that directory? If not, you'll probably need to delete you channels, and try scanning again, then post your logs and we'll take a look.

Ultimately though, you'll be unlikely to be able to watch this channel in the web app using the RPi3 as the backend, because its CPU is too slower to do the required transcoding. Unlike the web app, Kodi plays the native streams, so doesn't need to transcode, so you should be fine to watch there.

Thanks @Sub.  I did another scan and this time I let it sit after I pressed the save button.   After 10-15 seconds, the dialogue disappeared and I could see the .conf file in the folder.   You are right though, I can't stream through the web ui - but this is progress!

Yep - progress
