Tvheadend

Good to know I'm not the only one.
see https://tvheadend.org/issues/3691

Forgot to say that it seems that its not only the config, new sat/ip devices which are not in list before (and has no config file in config folder) was forgotten too.

Provide '--trace settings' when you change something in Configuration / General / Base (like Cookie Expiration field).

https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/Traces

I did that, but in trace.log found nothing:

2016-04-06 18:06:18.220 [  DEBUG]:eit: completed pid 18 table 00000000 / 00000000
2016-04-06 18:06:31.861 [   INFO]:htsp: Got connection from 127.0.0.1
2016-04-06 18:06:31.862 [   INFO]:htsp: 127.0.0.1: Disconnected

I made trace with webui, like i did it some time before, +all (debugsubsystems) and +settings (tracesubsystems). And as i said, no save of uuid on satip server, only old settings exist and connecting with that devices works. Have that on 3 devices, all same, no save of newer settings or devices, after restart all resetted to old settings.

I tried to change ui theme, that works if set in per user config, but not in main config.

Another info: i uninstalled it completely on one device (with purge), reinstalled, assistant starts, i made some config but no config file in tvh directory unter user hts.

I am having a similar problem. If I add a new show for recording and then restart, the new episodes that were added for recording show without the recording scheduled icon and appear as "" in the description. Here is a log with all debugging and tracing enabled of scheduling a new series to record:

Sorry, what I meant to say was that all the scheduling recordings appear with a status of "Invalid" after restarting. Here is the log from viewing the information page for one of these recordings:

Next test: going back to build 1727, after that config is saved normally again if i change something.

ok I tried tvheadend_4.1-1751~g81e0093 and everything is fine. Config is saving as expected.

I have noticed the same problem. After doing some testing I notest that in the systemd log that tvheadend was taking a long time to shutdown and would timeout after 90 seconds. Then systemd would just -9 kill the process, which would prevent tvheadend from saving the configuration.
After some more testing I found that it would only happen when tvheadend was started with the -f, --fork flag.

I have bisected. The commit causing the problem is https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/commit/264b4ecabf3abcf02cdaa4620e91dad0b34afacd.

Tried build 1777, save works, tried 1787, works not, but seems Michael Marley found the problem, great

unsing 4.1-1834~g957b835, also dont create the config file

Could you retest with v4.1-1836-g1681799 ?

On my sys this is working (Ubuntu 15.10 x64 server)

Seems to work now, changes are written to config right after clicking save.
