Crash when trying to seek forward

[djenson]

As the title: the whole nextPVR backend sometimes crashs when trying to seek further forward than possible.

Which client, I see uidroid in there as well as NextPVR. Is this issue only with in-progress recordings? Seeking with in-progress and thumbnail generation is definitely work-in-progress in my opinion so if you don't need thumbnails turn them off.

I also see a problem with your HDHR it looks like you are trying to stream a channel 101 that is not available causing other problems. Are you running the HDHR with other backends?

"Which client" - Android 9 bravia TV using uidroid. the Playstore app is also sometimes use on another android tv, but this seems to have less issues. 

"Are you running the HDHR with other backends?" - *Only* backend is NextPVR, Jellyfin has integration to NextPVR but the is soldom used. 

"Is this issue only with in-progress recordings?" - Seems to be Live shows with 'timeshift' too

"Seeking with in-progress and thumbnail generation is definitely work-in-progress in my opinion so if you don't need thumbnails turn them off." - This really breaks ff/rr on uiclients with only D-pad

Other issues include nlite being broken - it is never able to start a stream

Worth noting that at the time of the crash the backend seemed to be trying to tune to a buzy tuner - as i say, the *only* backend/ system using the hdhomerun tuner is is NextPVR

Sounds like sub needs to look further into seeking on UI clients in-progress with the thumbnails on then. Until then don't seek past the end of the recordings, uidroid only does what it is told to to. "Doctor, doctor it hurts when I do this."

I can't explain why 2 of your tuners are failing then you might need to check on the Silicondust forum. Edit I see you posted your HDHR log

If you can't stream with nlite try yauiclient for Windows, that's why I made an option.

Ok I understand what happened, after the crash NextPVR still had locked the tuners, I supposed sub should release all the tuner locks from NextPVR on start up just in case.

Until then don't seek past the end of the recordings

As i say, this is mainly an issue with timeshifted tv i.e. live tv that was paused and then you want to fast forward to live.

Ok, that is not thumbnails, and that is not what your log was showing as crash either.  It will also depend on how long you pause, NextPVR by default as a fairly short timeshift buffer.  Maybe increase it.

i had the timeshift set to 240mins 

"not what your log was showing as crash either" - what did the logs show as a crash then? im just stating what i had done prior to the crash - i had bumped into the end of a paused live tv show.

Hard to tell but it looks like it crashed in timing generation for, but the buffer might not have included.

Ok there were 3 restarts involved I didn't go back for enough I think you might be using the buggy experimental NShared.dll
