recordings list empty

Added by Daniel S over 11 years ago

Hello,

i'm using TVHeadend for a couple of weeks now with descrambling on DVB-C in germany and almost everything is working well.
Thanks for your good work!

The only problem left is:
I can schedule recordings and recording is done fine but the finished recordings list in TVHeadend WebGui is still empty.(and in XBMC of course)
I'm recording on a NFS share which i mounted into the file system of my XBMCBuntu installation.
The recording is done, i can browse and play it via XBMC but under "recordings" nothing is visible.
Is there a recordings database which to check or how is TVHeadend showing up the finished recordings list ?
The first record i did include a special character "ü", can this be the reason for my issue ?
If i enable debug, the log is not showing anything if i switch to the recordings section.

any ideas ?
thank you

In the configuration -> recording section there is an option you can select - "Remove all unsafe characters from filename"

i saw and enabled this switch ... after the first recording ;)

i also renamed the recording-file

but list is still empty

OK well that's me out of ideas then :-)

I am quite new to tvheadend myself, one thing I noticed about debugging was I got more output by checking debug to syslog and writing all in the debug subsystems box and saving, followed by enabling debug in the gui with the arrow bottom right then the cog.

Maybe next time you record it may log more - maybe not.

The records of past - and upcoming - recordings are in ~/.hts/tvheadend/dvr.

In here, you'll find numbered files - take a look at some and you'll see that successful ones have a "filename" entry that corresponds to the recording you made. That may shed light on your curious disappearing umlauts - it might be that the tvheadend API can't cope with accented characters or something like that (guessing).

I'm sure you can search the schedules for some suitable programmes to test this - ä, ö, ß, etc. - and see what gets produced. You might find that "remove unsafe characters" will clean these files for all future recordings.

You can also still navigate to the recordings directory directly through NFS, rather than via the tvheadend addon; at least you can then see and play back your recordings.

unfortunately the dvr folder is empty.

debug log is not helpful, too :
Jun 16 17:20:00.107 subscription: "DVR: heute" unsubscribing from "ZDF HD"

Jun 16 17:20:00.109 dvr: Recording completed: "/sdcard/homeserver/video/TV recordings/heute.mkv"

Jun 16 17:20:00.149 dvr: "heute" on "ZDF HD": End of program: Completed OK
