I have been experiencing DVR Server crashes or hangs about every couple of days. Server running on a Mac mini i7, MacOS 10.14 (needed for compatibility with other software), ChannelsDVR folder on a Netgear NAS, all gigabit wired with 1 gigabit fiber to the outside world. Currently the DVR Server software is the only thing running on a fresh MacOS install.
Typical client symptoms are:
- Cannot watch TVE recordings
- Cannot tune TVE channels
- In the Recordings tab, scheduled TVE recordings that should have finished still show in progress with no error indication, and shows that should be currently recording are not listed
- HDHR channels and recordings seem to be watchable
Typical server computer symptoms are:
- DVR Server will shut down but not restart via menu bar Restart command
- Server computer hangs on shutdown via Apple menu Restart..., requires hard restart
Occasional symptoms:
- Loss of TVE sources in the source list and TVE channels in the guide on clients
- Failure of the web interface to load; page loads partially with spinning arrow circle
- HDHR channels and recordings are not watchable
A hard restart of the server computer seems to temporarily restore normal operation.
I have sent multiple emails to support with logs but haven't heard anything back. Latest logs have been submitted as d781e266-5e70-48bc-8018-5dd451eb6be3.
