Repeated DVR Startup

Not sure if this looks normal but I’m seeing the DVR starting many times during the day without touching anything.

HDHomerun Prime.

I haven’t seen any negative impact. Thoughts?

Seems like maybe it was crashing? Was this after a reboot? Or just randomly while the machine was up?

Can you check dmesg | tail -20 to see if it says anything about channels-dvr

How much RAM is available?

The machine has 8GB RAM

Can you run dmesg to grab the entire output and email [email protected]

This issue should be resolved in v2017.03.01.2225. Please let me know if you see it again after upgrading.

Still seeing this.

Have you been using web playback feature?

After updating Ubuntu, I haven’t seen this issue for over 2 days. I may be in the clear. Thanks for the help.
