Can't play recordings

Added by vistalba vistalba almost 7 years ago

Hi all

I use tvheadend in a docker container (linuxserver/tvheadend:latest).

I mounted /recordings into the container and configured it in my recording profile as direcroty.

If I record a tv stream now, it converts and save the files as set in the profile to /recordings. /recordings points to a SMB-Mount on my Ubuntu Server.

If I check, the file is on my SMB-Mount and I can play it in VLC or other applications like plex.

If I try to play it from the TVHeadend WebGUI or TVHClient on iPhone it runs into an error.

First part is from recording... second from tring to play the file directly from the webgui. -> downloads file and open with vlc.
I also activated Configuration -> Debugging -> Debug to Syslog ... but I can't see more information in my log. So I'm not sure if it works properly.

I use utf8 as setting in recording profile also as mount option for my smb mount on ubuntu.

I can't figure out whats wrong... the file is there and can also deleted from the tvheadend webGUI... so there is no permission problem.
I also logged in into tvheadend docker container and tried to open the file on /recordings ... I can "cat" it so read permission is also work.

So now I'm really confused about that... maybe someone here has an idea or a hint how to solve this problem?
If you need some more log output or infos... just ask I will try to get and post it.

Well, "2018-02-12 22:12:20.573 [ ERROR] http: unable to convert filename 'ASCII//TRANSLIT//IGNORE' to a safe form using charset '2018-02-12_21-50_SomeShow_Channel-HD.mp4'" is a bit concerning!

Do you have windows compatible filenames enabled? If not enable it.

RE: Can't play recordings - Added by vistalba vistalba almost 7 years ago

Yes, checkmark is enabled. Also the other one to replace all unsave characters.

OK - try changing Character set to utf-8.

RE: Can't play recordings - Added by vistalba vistalba almost 7 years ago

Characterset is already set to utf-8 (i think its the default). I also tried already to switch wo 8859-1 but in this case tvheadend only create a folder named „(null)“ and tvheadend comes unresponsive until I delete and recreate the container.

RE: Can't play recordings - Added by Mark Clarkstone almost 7 years ago

Can you give a proper example of the filenames it's trying to create?

RE: Can't play recordings - Added by vistalba vistalba almost 7 years ago

Okay... yes, I can. But to be clear: writing the file to the share is working. I can also play the file with VLC player. The problem only appears if I try to play the already recorded file with tvheadend.

Examples of filename and the path:

root@tvheadend-7b57d997f9-cmgwt:/recordings/Tagesschau$ ls -lha
total 5.0G
drwxr-xr-x 2 1000 root    0 Feb 12 21:14 .
drwxr-xr-x 2 1000 root    0 Feb 12 22:45 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 1000 root 1.5G Feb 10 19:52 2018-02-10_19-30_Tagesschau_SRF1-HD.ts
-rwxr-xr-x 1 1000 root 1.8G Feb 11 19:57 2018-02-11_19-30_Tagesschau_SRF1-HD.ts
-rwxr-xr-x 1 1000 root 1.8G Feb 12 19:57 2018-02-12_19-30_Tagesschau_SRF1-HD.ts

Tagesschau = Show Name
SRF1-HD = Channel Name

tvheadend is running as root inside the container.

RE: Can't play recordings - Added by Mark Clarkstone almost 7 years ago

That file name looks fine to me, I would open an issue & provide dvr traces / debugging info.

RE: Can't play recordings - Added by vistalba vistalba almost 7 years ago

okay.. i tried it with "--debug --trace -l /config/log.txt" as start options.

Got this output:
