Can't start live tv after restart (6 Viewers)

[radical]

Hello everyone,

for a long time I have a problem which prevents me from using the automatic restart function of the PowerScheduler.

After restarting my tv-Server, I'm unable to start live tv or playback an recording on any clientmachine. I'm allways getting an error message "stream coudn't been started".

Details of my system are listed and up to date. I'm using an 8GB Ramdisk for timeshifting.

Attached are logs from tv-server and clientmachine.


...at this time my only Workaround is manually restarting of tv-Service within tv-Server configuration.

Logs attached (Nr 2)

Here is the problem:

IP address is 127.0.0.1. The proper IP address (192.***...) has not yet been assigned. Hence TV Server binds to the wrong IP address. When the client tries to connect:

[2014-01-31 14:39:16,486] [21ddef80] [103c] - Failed to get a SDP description from URL rtsp://TV-Server:554/stream2.0 connect() failed: Unknown error

...FAIL! because TV Server is not listening on that hostname/address.

Potential solution: use a static IP address NOT assigned by the router.
Solution: delay the start of the TV service until your network adaptor has received the IP address.

Thank you for your fast reply.

Maybe my english is limited but I don't understand fully...

I'm using allready a static IP outside of DHCP range of the router. Did you mean this?

Solution: delay the start of the TV service until your network adaptor has received the IP address.

Do you mean under Windows Service configuration?

Yes, I meant that. Looks good.

Maybe, if your version of windows supports delayed start for services.
Anything that can get you a delay would be fine. For example, you could try to make the TV service dependent on other services that take longer to start.

radical, do you use MySQL or MSSQL?

and it seems that you have problems with RAM-Disk? at the time when TV server starts there is no Z drive in tour system, or the Timeshift folder isn't created yet

 

[mm1352000]

I was thinking the Z: drive could be a NAS or something. Another sign that the network is not up...

I'm using an 8GB Ramdisk for timeshifting.

 

[radical]

Vasilich is right. Z: drive is my RAM Disk for timeshifting created with ImDisk. I'm using Mysql 5.6.

 

[radical]

Yes, I meant that. Looks good.

OS is Win 7 64bit professional. I'll try to Make an dependency on ImDisk

I hope I did it right. After my scheduled Recording will end, I'm going to restart.

Edit:
So, my Problem with the RAM Disk seems to be solved.
But unfortunately it dosen't solve my main Problem.
