Channels DVR Does not start in Unraid

On 1/22/23 in the logs I see channelsDVR shuts down, this is from an update that was applied. When it comes back up the logs from console view states "Starting Channels DVR... (you can ignore the libusb_init error) and continually repeats." When I look at the channels-dvr.log in the appdata folder it shows "/bin/bash: line 1: ../latest/channels-dvr: Permission denied" and continually repeats.

The appdata and share for the dvr have full read/write rights. I do not know how to troubleshoot this any further. Please Help,

Which container are you using? Maybe you need to update it.

Sounds like the timstephens24 image.

I am using channelsdvr_nvidia which comes from timstephens24/channels-dvr.

And what is the fix for this?

I think @timstephens24 fixed a bunch of permissions issues recently. Did you update the image?

well, I am always updating when the system says there is an update. and as of right know it does not say there is an update and I even forced it to update, and it did not download anything.

When you stop and start the container does it work or does it do the same thing?

the container never starts below is what the log shows from the container view

Can you change the repository from timstephens24/channels-dvr:latest to timstephens24/channels-dvr:beta and see if that works?

Yes that worked.

Awesome, thanks! I just pushed the change, so if you wouldn't mind changing the beta tag to latest and then you should be good to go moving forward.
