Service crashes sometimes & not restarting #20

Closed grosseskino closed 2 years ago

grosseskino commented 2 years ago

Hi.

First of all a HUGE THANKS to the developers of this project, love it!

I installed piccap and it is working fine for some time (sometime 2 hours), then the service crashes and won't restart. Logging in through ssh and running "libvtcapture -a IP" restarts the service, but then I have to keep the ssh session open..

I have webos 5.3.0-19 running.

Are there any logs for the service? How is the service called? Where is the service registered for autostart? I couldn't find anything in "/etc/systemd/services/"

Startup is handled by /var/lib/webosbrew/init.d/piccapautostart symlink-to-a-script.

Which version are you running?

On v0.2.2 we are currently testing we have a major overhaul of how we handle the background service, plus a bunch of stability improvements. It's likely this will help.

Maybe an useful side note. The autostart worked for me only after disabling the "quickStart+" function in the general tv settings.

Same for me if i power off the tv and start it again picap does not start automatically. I have to open picap and have to stop and start again.

I am running version 0.1.0. installed it through the homebrew-channel.

disabling the "quickStart+" function in the general tv settings was a great idea, thanks for that! the service is then autostarting after crashing, when "quickStart+" is enabled the tv needs a reboot through ssh or hard power off to start the service on boot.

the piccap services still crashes every once in a while.

i just updated piccap to version 0.2.6 will keep you posted if the issue is solved
