Can someone explain what these messages mean

  • This *may* be related to an old bug where the network was down.

    Please provide a full debug log.

    How to post a log (wiki)

    1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging
    2. Restart Kodi
    3. Replicate the problem
    4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)

    use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link

    Also output of:

    dmesg | paste

    and

    journalctl | paste

  • I believe I have found where the messages are coming from, however I have yet to figure out the cause.

    Today kodi.log contains these 3 entries:

    Code
    06:00:37.694 T:3847222112 WARNING: CreateLoader - unsupported protocol(pvr) in pvr://channels/tv/All channels/pvr.hts_1873343440.pvr
    06:00:37.694 T:3847222112 WARNING: CreateLoader - unsupported protocol(pvr) in pvr://channels/tv/All channels/pvr.hts_365774006.pvr
    06:00:37.695 T:3847222112 WARNING: CreateLoader - unsupported protocol(pvr) in pvr://recordings/tv/active/The%20Bold%20%26%20The%20Beautiful, TV%20(10), 20181123_053022, 305751746.pvr

    And, if I look at the files table in the database MyVideos107.db, I find this.

    I know that if I rebuild the Videos DB the entries in the log go away for a while. I also know the entries in the log happen each time a videodatabase cleanup is done.

    So, what's the cause?

    TIA

  • I normally see this error when the thumbnail logic is trying to create missing ones for items in my library. I imagine as its PVR entries this will be the case.

    I do not think this is the issue in this case as the error does point to a 'unsupported protocol' error. I think the PVR does not know the protocol .pvr.
