[solved] Watching a record during recording stops sometimes (1 Viewer)

[Owlsroost]

There is no 'TsReader.log' in the zip file?

@Dominik König please create the folder "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Log" and then reproduce the issue again.
TsReader seems not to create the logfolder by itself

 

[Dominik König]

So i created the folder and reproduced again. It seems that the logs created in "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Log" are not included in the collector zip? I added them manually.
Kind regards,
Dominik

Yes, it looks like it's stopped due to running out of data to read (the 'demux:endoffile' in the log):

Can you repeat the test but wait for a few minutes after the recording has started before starting play please?

 

[Dominik König]

Well, here you go...

The first file played in TsReader.log stopped after about 4 1/2 minutes (the file duration reported by TsReader at start of play was about 4 1/2 minutes).

It's unable to read any file data when it stops - it seems almost like the NAS (or Windows) is taking a snapshot of the file length when the client opens the file, and refusing to supply data beyond that point... (note: Windows to Windows file shares work OK in this situation e.g. reading recordings from a remote TV Server in an MP1 client - server setup)

Does it work OK if the recordings are written to a local disk, not a remote NAS?

 

[HTPCSourcer]

Can you set up a share on a Windows directory and then test the behavior?

 

[Dominik König]

Hey guys,
I now moved all my recordings to a local folder on the server. I created a fileshare pointing to that folder, and chose this share as UNC path in the settings of the tv server als recording folder.
Everything in the environment still works fine.

Except I still get the same behaviour. The playback of the recording is stopped when the initial file lenght of the recording is reached. There seems to be no update on recording file size.

Logs again attached.

Kind regards,
Dominik

@Dominik König , please update to MP 2.2.1 and then try again.

 

[Dominik König]

Hey guys,
I mirgrated server and all clients. Same behaviour. Example recording was the "Tatort" from today.
