MediaPortal Version: 1.19.0
Description
I have a standalone Mediaportal setup with recording to a NAS. Timeshifting is to a local drive. This has been a stable setup for several years however after after Windows updated to 1803 Recorded TV is no longer working properly. 1803 also created problems viewing video on my NAS but I have been able to resolve that issue.
Since the update the following problems have been experienced:
Scheduled recordings will start but not stop.
Only one of multiple simultaneous recording will work
Unable to record from multiple channels simultaneously
Recorded programs are only viewable if you keep Mediaportal on the channel while recording
If you change channels recording will show up in Recorded TV with 0:00 duration and you cannot watch them after they have finished.
Unable to stop TV service without shutting down the computer if stuck on a scheduled recording
While recording a program you can view/timeshift etc but this would be from the time shift buffer.
After recording has finished however most shows are not viewable, timestamp usually says 0:00
Usually 1 of multiple simlutaneous recordings will work but not always
When Mediaportal does record it creates the recording on my NAS in the correct folder but most of the time this does not happen.
I am am almost certain the problems have been created by build 1803 and the change of several network features by Microsoft.
To test my theory I set up a folder for Recorded TV on the local PC and hey presto Recorded TV works perfectly. Can record from several channels simultaneously, scheduled recordings start and stop when they're supposed to etc so it definitely has something to do with network access.
I have TvService running under an account with credentials that match my NAS so that is not the problem.
I mentioned earlier that I couldn't access any videos on my NAS. I was able to rectify this by substituting the
IP of my NAS into the path for my video folders e.g. \\192.168.1.100\Media Centre\Media Portal\ instead of \\Diskstation\Media Centre\Media Portal\
I thought I might be able to do the same for Recorded TV but you cannot type the path in for Recorded TV you can only select if from and explorer tree inside TVServer Setup. (Is there a workaround to this)
Preliminary logs attached, in the process of creating further logs with scheduled recording etc. Will attach these when complete.
Any help / suggestions will be appreciated.
Steps to Reproduce:
Manual and scheduled recordings.
Scheduled recordings will start but not stop.
Only one of multiple simultaneous recording will work
Unable to record from multiple channels simultaneously
Recorded programs are only viewable if you keep Mediaportal on the channel while recording
If you change channels recording will show up in Recorded TV with 0:00 duration and you cannot watch them after they have finished.
