DVR Keeps Crashing (v2017.01.17.2332)

Ran fix on Mac mini, got DVR restored. Looks like it missed recording a show tonight; need to investigate more; but thanks for the help!

Yikes. I restarted the DVR from the old build and now it doesn’t recognize my recordings! And all my passes are gone! Is there a way to manually restore this info? Tried unchecking then rechecking the DVR box and it didn’t do anything.

What commands did you run? If you ran the old build manually that’s not going to work.

Oh dang that’s what I did. Sorry I’m confused now, tried a couple commands in this thread but it didn’t restart my DVR. Is there another step to restart it?

The fix on macOS is:

cd channels-dvr && ln -nsf 2017.01.14.0019 latest

It should come up automatically once you do that.

If not, run:

~/channels-dvr/uninstall.sh
sleep 2
~/channels-dvr/install.sh

Although this would not have made a difference for me… (since I would be in the ā€œcutting edgeā€ group… but maybe add an option of a tiered autoupdate? It may be a nightmare to manage… but just a thought…

  • Cutting edge: immediate update of all alpha/beta DVR builds (same as what is now)
  • Regular: Delayed by 48-72 hrs [If there is a problem build, the cutting edge would raise the alarm before it affected too many]
  • Slow: Delayed by 7 days

with manual update updating to the latest mode selected…

Hey everyone, we’ve posted a post mortem explaining what happened, and how to fix it.

It also has a link to a specific support thread just for this issue. Please continue posting there.

I’m going to close this thread for now.
