Channels DVR Server

My Channels DVR server is stuck in an infinite loop of starting/stopping on MacOS. Not sure what really happened. Nothing on my system has changed.

Please check the log file:

~/Library/Application Support/ChannelsDVR/data/channels-dvr.log

You may need to delete the .airings and .groups folders next to the log file.

Not sure what I should looking for?

I came across this though...

unexpected fault address 0x50aba85e2021/05/21 12:18:55.883393 [DVR] Recording engine started in /Volumes/DVR

fatal error: fault
[signal SIGBUS: bus error code=0x2 addr=0x50aba85e pc=0x410b458]
#4

Nothing else about that fault?

Can you email the .log file to [email protected]

Deleting the the .airings and .groups folders ended up solving the problem.

Thanks!
