I have the same errors in my log. I upgraded last night and then today I removed TVE and re-added but now it just crashes when I do.

#3

Update to prerelease for the fix.

#4

That fixed it for me. Thanks again!

I am still having the same issue ever after going to prerelease v2023.01.23.1746 and even the prior version. Any recommendations on a particular version? I'm running a manually installed jail on FreeNAS/FreeBSD

What freebsd version?

You need DVR 4.20 but it requires freebsd 12+

I'm running FreeNas 11.3 U5 but it worked fine until the latest update. I tried to go back the previous version and it failed as well. You can see that the failures started with the upgrade from v2023.01.23.1746 to v2023.04.20.0310. Any suggestions?

@tmm1 Any recommendations on my issue above?

#10

Can you upgrade to freebsd 12?

#11

I can eventually, but am trying to get running again quickly. Were there any other changes that occurred with the upgrade that would prevent me from running the previous version?

#12

You're stuck between two bugs. Let me push a new prerelease with freebsd 11 compat

#13

You can run this in the existing install (above latest) to download the prerelease:

curl -s https://getchannels.com/dvr/setup.sh | env DVR_VERSION=2023.04.27.2253 DOWNLOAD_ONLY=1 sh

#14

Thanks so much. My family has been missing Channels.

I'm back up and running with the prerelease.
