Timeshift Archive file missing error

[Charles Wambura]

Hello,

I followed all instructions but I am stuck here on timeshift.  When I play a live channel in timeshift mode, after rewind stb gives error file missing.  I look in the logs it says no such file or directory.  I look into archive I find that the file is really not there but there is other file with different time.  Pls advice where to fix.  Is it portal time not sync with stb time?

Please advice.

Try this fix https://github.com/azhurb/stalker_portal/commit/59045579463c875f4f92b53347d804c16a0bec64

but only for server/lib/mysql.class.php file

[Charles Wambura]

Thanks for

Your instructions,

server/lib/mysql.class.php

change if (!empty($timezone)) {

to  if (empty($timezone)) {

I still get this error fille missing, even after your instructions.  The file is not present in archive.

this is nginx error.log

I checked again in archive there is only 2 old files.  Timeshift is not writing anymore the files to archive what is wrong? Where to check?.

Hello,

please help my. I have a problem with TV archive. TV Archive on the IPTV channell is enabled but TV archive on the home screen is "0". File .mpg for TV Archive is written to /media/records/archive. EPG is working but when trying something run from the archive I get an answer "file missing". When I looked correction here who describe so I did not have to carry it out. I have Stalke v.4.8.69. Our fix is implemented on my Stalker_portal.

Thanks

Recording work OK. 

[Aleksey Zhurbitsky]

Try to load the portal (via ssh) in the debug mode

killall stbapp
/usr/share/qt-4.6.0/stbapp -qws -display directfb http://.../stalker_portal/c/?debug

and try to play archive again, then show debug output.

Also check apache error log on the middleware server and on the storage.

[Martin Sušek]

error.log of apache:

TV archive: PORTAL_URL is not defined

[Aleksey Zhurbitsky]

You should add PORTAL_URL setting to the storage/config.php on the archive storage

For example:

define('PORTAL_URL', 'http://192.168.1.1/stalker_portal/');

[Martin Sušek]

Thanks TV_Archive works fine ;) 

This same mistake and wrote the TimeShift :( 

Nginx configuration is:

 location /tslink/ {
 
        rewrite ^/tslink/(.+)/archive/(\d+)/(.+) /stalker_portal/server/api/chk_tmp_timeshift_link.php?key=$1&file=$3 last;
 
        proxy_set_header Host 10.125.64.221; # <-- portal IP
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_pass http://10.125.64.221:88/; # <-- portal IP
    }
 
    location /archive/ {
        root /var/www; # <-- directory, where is archive folder (symlink RECORDS_DIR."archive")
        internal;

Directory tslink is on /media/ and symlinks for this directory is on /var/www/. Permission for folder tslink is 777.

[Martin Sušek]

It can not be caused by this:

/var/log/nginx/access.log

10.125.64.221 - - [22/Oct/2013:07:56:06 +0200] "GET /stalker_portal//server/api/chk_tmp_archive_link.php?token=f680467db0816a8a75a8da6f31b1f164 HTTP/1.0" 200 15 "-" "-"

in the path are two slash behind. We can not have misspelled a trip somewhere?

[Aleksey Zhurbitsky]

You dont need to create tslink directory. But you should create symbolic link

ln -s /media/records/archive/ /var/www/

http://wiki.iptv.infomir.com.ua/doku.php/en:stalker:install_and_configure#tv_archive_settings

[Martin Sušek]

symlink for /media/records/archive is already exist in /var/www/

Problem is somewhere else

[Aleksey Zhurbitsky]

Try to delete .htaccess file from the /var/www/archive on the storage

and set 

enable_timeshift_tmp_link = false

in the server/custom.ini

[Martin Sušek]

.htaccess file not exist. After adding line enable_timeshift_tmp_link = false in custom.ini TimeShift working fine ;) Thanks ;) 

I have archive on 3 programs. But administration panel show TV Archive: 0 

[Aleksey Zhurbitsky]

In the administration panel displays the active sessions. 0 means that no one watching tv archive.
