My recollection may be faulty, but the number of files depends on how often TVHeadEnd crashes. At one time I had this occurring regularly, but I have not seen it for some months. I am on the Bet firmware feed, so my experience may not be typical. The only difference for the beta feed is that I get beta versions of the IceTV Add-on.

Thanks for this information. I will try it when I get a chance.

This could be something to do with the ongoing problems discussed in this thread: https://forum.icetv.com.au/icetv-epg-content/prime-7-hd-canberra-schedule-a-mess/

In some regions LCN 7 has been HD rather than SD for many months. Definitely the case in Melbourne.

You may need to do a service scan, SBS Viceland is now SBS 2. However not solve the EPG issue.

After a long delay, I have installed OpenATV on a Beyonwiz T2.

Unfortunately the instructions for installing IceTV on PVR using OpenATV (https://support.icetv.com.au/hc/en-us/articles/360001364235-How-to-setup-IceTV-on-your-OpenATV-PVR) are no longer accurate when installing 7.6.0; IceTV is not on the Plugins list. Any idea where I would find the Plugin?

Thanks for the additional information. I found a post on the LibreELEC forum which gives some backgrpund:
https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/25007-2-5-gbit-s-ethernet-adapter-for-libreelec/

The problem may be solved if/when the next buid of IceTV is released - it seems Linux kernal 7.1 may be need for better support for 2.5Gbit.

I have not seen trasfer speeds that slow on either of my BYOB. My BYOB are Intel NUC with (presumably) an Intel one. Whatever it is it give srsfer speeds that are in the regioun of 90 Mbps. However my preproduction IceTV Ice Box has been giving similar speeds to those you are seeing.

Have not thought about adjusting the settings in either KODI or Libreelec. I am running a beta installation, but the LibreELEC build is that in the public firmware, only the IceTV add-on (and possibly the TVHeadend add-on) are different. But that should not impact of network performance.

Have you checked the BIOS settings for the NIC? There may be someting there that is causing the slow speed. Just rembebers that I was going to try a different Ethernet cable - the cable could be damaged or not up to specification. Another possibilityis that the KODI/Libreelec NIC driver is suboptimal, particularly if it is an HP rather than the ones usually found in PCs (Intel, Killer etc).

I very much doubt that there is any regional limits. Probably another explantion; @Daniel Hall wouls have a definitive answer.

Good question. I would assume that it does as it has been working OK for several months. If I recall correctly when it displays the TVHeadend statuo there was an error messsage - not sure if that is new or not. There is a username/password set for SMB.

Really cannot be sure of anything as it does not get beyond attempting to connect.

[### IceTV 1.0.16 - TVHeadend is running, all good]

Checked the Kodi log, the only mentions of TVHeadend are:

### IceTV 1.0.16 - TVHeadend is running, all good

The KODI and KODIE_CRASH logs contains multiple error messages suggesting that some sort of driver is failing to load.

When I checked with the www app, all three episodes are showing a dobule donut indicating that the timer has not been downloaded. I am seeing this on IceBox, Beyonwis and Topfield devices. I check on the IceBox and Beyonwiz and the recording are in fact scheuled with the same time as shown on the www app.

It is very odd.

Has anyone else notice this is it just my PVRs?

Today when I turned on my BYOB1 there was an error message about error with TVHeadend and then it was replaced by "PVR manager is Starting up: 0%" stuck on 0%. Has anyone had this hapen and if so what solution (if any) did you find.

Update: the screensaver is no displayed by the error message is still displaying.

I tried rebooting the IceBox but no luck.

I have seen the "to be advised" on several occaisions (about two weeks ago). The subject of the recodings was nothing I would watch. Cannot remember if the recodings were full length.

For me, this problem is limited to 9Gem HD and 9Go HD

I have not noticed this, but I do not usually change the pre and post padding. When I do it is to bring them in to line with my revised default padding.

I suspect it makes senese if the original timer is deleted and a new one created (as happens with Topfield PVRs) rather than editing the existing timer.
