Crash on last beta server, lost everything

Beta Community DVR Beta
#21

If it helps @mjitkop,

I uninstalled the channels server (because it was in a loop)
restarted the computer
Reinstalled the channels server
Then performed a x.x.x.x:8089/restore (choosing the best database to use for restoration wasn't easy, they all had timestamps of a few seconds from each other. If you can take a snapshot of your server settings page with a current rules & records count to make it easier to match up since the database(s) record count increment from around the point of the server going down)

The channels server would not shutdown/nor reinstall if I tried anything before uninstalling the server.

Thanks for the prompt action to fix this!

The software engineer in me is curious about what happened. Any technical details you can share? You don't have to, just curiosity. :wink:
Shit happens as they say, it's all fine in the end. :slight_smile:

I have reinstalled the server and it's running on 2021.08.12.0054 now (I guess this is the latest stable version). I'm not touching anything until v2021.09.28.1512 is ready. :laughing:

Closest restore point I could access was last Friday.

So, I moved all the TV shows and Movies that were recorded over the weekend into Imports.

Now they are viewable (my wife would have killed me if she couldn't watch her Chesapeake Shores!)

Good for me too. It's been running fine for more than 2 hours now.

Still running this morning (thanks @tmm1)

Past two mornings when I started watching/using channels it went screwy.. but I've passed that point and its chugging along back to normal.
