Re: QNAP QPKG for DVR Record Engine

Post by netjrb »

Hi,
I've been using the QPKGs for sometime and have never had an issue.
Upgraded from the .26 to the new .28 and had a problem with DVR operation.
No new logs were generated after install and any recording that required a new folder didn't work.
The show would indicate it was recording but nothing would show up in the recording directory.
Shows that had an existing folder would record normally.
Dropped back to the .26 package and everything is working fine again.

I'm running a QNAP TS-453 Pro, with the latest firmware.
Just thought I'd report my experience.
Thanks for all the hard work on this, it's much appreciated.

99% sure this is a permissions issue
make sure httpdusr has write permissions to your recordpath

future release will do this automatically since it is causing confusion.

rik -

I did a fresh install of the qpkg and had 2 issues that I had to resolve manually to get everything working. I am thinking since you're doing some fixing, maybe put on your list to address?

- The css would not generate due to permissions.
- all the paths assume CACHEDEV1. On my NAS it's actually CACHEDEV2

Other than that, all good! The controls work great now

Maybe a n00b question here, but I just deleted a recording that I'd like to undelete.

I didn't do it in Windows Explorer. If I had I think I might have had luck recovering it either using Windows or by logging in to my QNAP QTS manager and checking the trash bin there.

But because I did it within the HDHomeRun View app... is there any way that our setups (running the engine off the QNAP) has any sort of file recovery for that type of file deletion?

Hi,
I'm having the same problem as above when I jumped from .31 to .32.
Shows that have already have a recording folder work fine, shows that need a folder to be created don't record.
Went back to .31 and everything works again.

The initial problem of .26 to .28 was a permissions issue which was fixed in .31
Am concerned you see same thing happening in moving from .31 to .32 - that would imply you still have a permissions issue somehow - but it should have been resolved in .31

Can you SSH to the NAS and look at the parent folder containing your record path..
e.g. ls -l /share/Recordings/
and also your RecordPath
e.g. ls -l /share/Recordings/HDHomeRunDVR/

TIA

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response.
See results below.
One difference between the issue this time and last.
This time log files get created, last time both log files and recording folders weren't created.

With .31
ls -l /share/Recordings
lrwxrwxrwx 1 admin administrators 25 2018-04-07 13:04 /share/Recordings -> CACHEDEV1_DATA/Recordings/
ls -l /share/Recordings/HDHomeRunDVR/
drwxrwxrwx 2 httpdusr administrators 4096 2018-04-14 20:59 48 Hours/
drwxrwxrwx 2 httpdusr administrators 4096 2018-04-14 16:06 Dateline/
drwxrwxrwx 2 httpdusr administrators 4096 2018-04-15 20:50 Dateline NBC/
drwxrwxrwx 2 httpdusr administrators 4096 2018-04-17 17:29 FOX 9 at 530p/
drwxrwxrwx 2 httpdusr administrators 4096 2018-04-17 16:59 FOX 9 at 5p/
drwxrwxrwx 2 httpdusr administrators 4096 2018-04-17 08:01 Live TV/

With .32
ls -l /share/Recordings
lrwxrwxrwx 1 admin administrators 25 2018-04-07 13:04 /share/Recordings -> CACHEDEV1_DATA/Recordings/
ls -l /share/Recordings/HDHomeRunDVR/
drwxrwxrwx 2 httpdusr administrators 4096 2018-04-14 20:59 48 Hours/
drwxrwxrwx 2 httpdusr administrators 4096 2018-04-14 16:06 Dateline/
