1) when you try to play the simpsons for BB in the above example, are they actually recording when you try to play them? Or have they finished recording?
2) When you say you have to restart your computer, do you really have have to restart the computer or just restart swmc?
3) What actually happens on the fire tv when it fails to play a recording?
4) Can you play live-tv on your fire-tv? Whether it works or not, try to play a live-tv channel on your fire tv and post the swmc log after right after it starts (or fails to start).

Thanks. When you are able to play the recordings, are you getting to the them through the 'videos' menu of kodi? Or through the tv>recordings menu?

Can you play all of your older recordings successfully? In other words, is it just the more recent ones that won't play?

You mean all of your recordings old and new won't play?

But you said if you restart the server computer then you can play recordings, right?

Well the live tv experiment showed that the problem is your ftv cannot access the recorded tv folder. That fits all of your problem descriptions except that if you reboot your server machine, the ftv can access it for a while but then - for some reason - it stops being able to access it. Why this happens, I am stumped. Are you running some kind of third party anti-virus, firewall, or something on your server machine that might be shutting this access down? Do you have another computer besides the ftv that you can experiment with?
