Quote from: MD on April 12, 2024, 11:54:17 AMAn imminent software update should fix that bug (and some others).Would it be possible to give us a list of bugs that have been fixed (ie 11.3 to 11.6), bugs about to be fixed (ie 11.6-11.x), and known bugs in the future pipeline?

Quote from: DeltaMikeCharlie on October 13, 2023, 11:30:35 AMI'm not thinking of RTC drift but more an NTP sync delay. I've seen windows grab delayed or incorrect time sync, not recently, but there was something time critical 10 years or so ago, that I mercifully don't remember now, but I do remember switching to "local" ntp servers to side-step the issue.Quote from: srto2 on October 13, 2023, 10:31:31 AMMaybe a time sync error can cause the intermittent hiccup?Unless your battery is already running low, this seems a bit of a reach at the moment.
Quote from: DeltaMikeCharlie on October 13, 2023, 06:49:57 AMFirstly, I would check to see how many networks (not channels) you can manually record simultaneously via Kodi. This should tell you fairy quickly how TVH is actually configured.Thanks DMC, Just a quickie here as I have to go out. Sorry for the long quote too!
If this number does not match your expectations, perhaps TVH has a configuration issue with recognising its tuners.
If this is the case, double-check the link between the 'TV adapters' and the 'Networks' in the TVH Web UI.
http://<icebox_ip_address>/extjs.html#
In TVH, there is a chain of data structures that are required for a recording to occur.
A recording takes place on a 'channel'. A 'channel' can be sourced from multiple 'services'. Each 'service' originates from a 'mux'. Each 'mux' comes from a 'network' and each 'network' is attached to one or more 'tv adapters' (tuners).
If you go into Configuration -> DVB Inputs -> Networks, you should see one called 'DVB-T Network'. In Sydney, I have 60 'Services' and 'Mapped Channels' shown, although your location may be different.
Then go into Configuration -> DVB Inputs -> TV adapters and for all of your 'DVB-T' adapters, ensure that 'DVB-T Network' is included in the 'Networks' field.
If all of this is in order, then assuming that the timer in question gets all the way to TVH on the IceBox and then fails, perhaps enabling debugging/tracing on TVH may be able to provide some insights.
In TVH, you need to go into its Web UI -> Configuration -> Debugging. If you press the Help button, you can get a list of the subsystems.
I would try logging for 'dvr' to see the timers. I would also try 'epg' and 'epgdb' to see the EPG changes, although this will be very active and create a lot of log entries. If an EPG change for the programme in question precedes a recording faulire, it may help narrow down the root cause.
Failing these, 'api' may show when TVH receives timer creation commands from the Ice add-on and 'uuid'/'idnode' may show when timer entries are created/edited/deleted. 'subscription' may also show when tuners are called into service, released or not available for live TV and/or recordings.
Because the Ice TV EPG is fed via XMLTV, it should also be possible for ICE to experiment by creating dummy EPG entries and see if they can force the error to occur.
It has been a while since I looked into how LibreELEC is built, however, I seem to recall that whilst Kodi is relatively up-to-date, it uses a very old version of TVH and perhaps you are encountering a bug that has already been identified and fixed long ago.
Quote from: Daniel Hall at IceTV on October 12, 2023, 06:08:23 PMHi Rob,Thanks Daniel,
There are a couple of things to this.
The error message on the website doesn't necessarily mean it was a tuner availability issue, this is just the most common cause when the feature was first introduced so it's hard coded into the website. This just means that the timer was marked as failed at some point.
My current theory is that there is a certain combination of EPG updates that cause this, but I have not been able to track down the exact combination as yet. There are some updates and fixes that are being prioritised at the moment ready for the next batch of IceBox's to arrive so it will likely be a couple of weeks before I will have a chance to try and test all the scenarios to find the one that causes this.
Quote from: IanL-S on October 12, 2023, 04:25:33 PMTVHeadend can have difficulties when a timer is updated by a minute or so (for me this mostly on ABC); it apparently deletes the timer and can either schedule the recording of the previous episode of the program or the next instance of the same episode. I have seen both happen. In each case it results in the program not being recorded at the time intended. It is IceBox specific, the same programs record properly on my Toppys and Beyonwizs.I think there will probably be a fix buried somewhere in the kludge that is LibreElec + TvHeadend + Kodi +Ice. I have trawled all the relevant wikis and forums and ended up being amazed that anything works at all.
Quote from: MD on October 11, 2023, 08:15:37 PMHi Rob,Thanks MD.
It looks as if you are a BYOB user and I see you are using our tuners so could you tell us your setup as there are no known issues such as you described now we have new SSDs?
Quote from: robertdowdell on September 08, 2023, 08:43:15 AMThis reminds me a bit of some of the early ICE days... I've been using ICE since the first ICEBox (the hacked ASUS router).Quote from: IanL-S on September 08, 2023, 08:19:22 AM
- Done a full EPG download - click on the KODI settings [top left of screen], then select "Add-ons", then select "My add-ons", then select "Services" [IceTV should be build 0.1.50], the select "configuration", and "Force full guide update" should be highlighted, click on OK.
- Turn the IceBox off.
- From you IceTV account, resend all timers for the IceBox (this is done under the "My Recorders" tab, in settings).
- Turn the IceBox on.
Quote from: Daniel Hall at IceTV on August 31, 2023, 01:39:04 PMWe have seen an incorrect error come back now and then if the IceBox has been off or a while and then turns back on. We are actively working on a fix and have some ideas as to why this happens so hopefully we can get it resolved asap.Thanks Daniel. Since I first posted, "Antiques Roadshow" has re-established itself correctly, but ABC News is still saying "There was an error scheduling this show to device IceBox. Could not find airing in the guide (no shows returned), cannot schedule timer. This show is part of a series recording." Just for fun I'm about to reboot the box to see if that makes any difference.
Quote from: IanL-S on August 31, 2023, 10:44:36 AMProblem 1Thanks Ian.
The first thing I would to is to check that all of the tuners are activated. Assuming you are using an IceBox do this using TVHeadend server. You open web page with the following URL:
http://{ip address of my icebox}:9981/
You then select configuration then DVB inputs, you should then check that for each tuner the DVB-T is set to "enabled". I have had USB tuners that have become dislodged, both on IceBox and Beyonwiz. If you have a Beyonwiz then check the settings to make sure that each turner is set to DVB-T or DVB-T2.
Problem 2 This happens when a PVR attempts to set a timer for a time when there is no EPG data present. I have this happen frequently with my Topfield 7100+ and occasionally on the IceBox. The timer should be set once the EPG data is available.
Hope this helps
Ian
