Timing file 0 byte

[VCR58]

I have been working on getting my NextPVR HTPC Linux server gong. Everything seems to work fine but I noticed the timing files for the recordings that are generated automatically by NextPVR are empty. The recordings play ok and thumbnails are present for skipping.

I tried using the local TV buffer location (instead of the remote share) for the recordings just to see if the .timing files would populate but they were still empty. I can generate the .timing files manually with the uiclient (uidroid).

My other Linux server does generate .timing files that are populated with data automatically so I can't figure why they are empty with this setup.

Current version of NextPVR is 6.1.4.230625

What version of ffprobe are you running on that server?

Also if you run this does from the command line does it work?

Code:

ffprobe  -skip_frame nokey -print_format csv -select_streams v:0 -show_entries frame=best_effort_timestamp_time,pkt_pos "http://127.0.0.1:8866/live?recording_id=856&growing=true&quiet=true&sid=06e1213a4ab24d90928edf3e3b37a913"

Looks like this

Any difference if you toggle Unauthenticated Stream Access off? I am not sure how sub is getting that sid.

I tried ticking Unauthenticated Stream Access but got the same output.

I use port 8868 but that shouldn't matter.

[mvallevand]

Sure that matters, it looks to be hardcoded to 8866 plus you showed it working on 8866 with my example.

With your script example to try I substituted 8866 with the port I use (8868). When I use your script as is I get. This output at the end.

Code:

[tcp @ 0x565122d32700] Connection to tcp://127.0.0.1:8866 failed: Connection refused
http://127.0.0.1:8866/live?recording_id=856&growing=true&quiet=true&sid=06e1213a4ab24d90928edf3e3b37a913: Connection refused

Your logs showed 8866 was being used which is why I assume it is accidentally hardcoded
