Almost all recordings are removed with label: File Missing
Added by Chris Koster almost 7 years ago
Hi,
Since a couple of weeks almost all of my recordings (scheduled with autorec through TVH web interface) are removed. The recordings aren’t listed as failed recording but they are under the tab removed recordings (see screenshot) with the status: File missing.
I did have a look at the dvr logs in /hts/.hts/tvheadend/dvr/log but I can’t find any useful info there apart from the fact the file object is also missing from the json log.
My first guess is that it has something to do with my last month upgrade to Kodi Krypton (18 alpha). I wanted to try the new Netflix plugin (which is great!) and try out the new emulator part (which isn’t so great yet :p).
After searching the TVheadend and Kodi forums I didn’t find other people with similiar problems. I found the following topic which might be relevant: https://tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/21766 thing is, this topic is over a year old. Anyway I tried updating the TVH plugin in Kodi but it fails because of missing dependency Kodi v17. Is this possible to do manually? I could ssh into the box and update it but I didn’t find a suitable version of the plugin.
Some more info:
As said runnning Kodi 18 alpha
TVHeadend: version 4.3-1001~g3ff1f4d
Server running TVH: Ubuntu 16.04
Client running Kodi: Openelec 9.0 milhouse build
Can anybody point me in the right direction on how to find out why my recording are being removed or how to get more debug info? A direct fix for the problem is of course also much appreciated. Any help is much appreciated
Kind regards,
Bechrissed

I've come across this confusing 'file missing' error, though my issue is unrelated to yours. It seems that if TVH believes that a recording should have happened but then finds that it hasn't, it moves the entry into the 'removed' list rather than the perhaps more logical 'failed' one. In other words, rather than looking for something deleting your recordings you perhaps should be looking to see why they weren't made in the first place.

Hmmmm you might be onto something here Dave....
First of all thank you for your time to answer my question. Secondly I do have some issues with descrambling lately, the first channel I try to watch gives errors a lot of times. I think you might be right in the fact the recording doesn't even start. I didn't make the connection right away. I'm going to look into this a bit more. Thanks again
