Hello, I don't know if this has been addressed before, I didn't see anything in a quick search of this forum.

I have the latest NextPVR running on a RPi 5 using Raspberry Pi OS, and I have a Mac mini running macOS Sequoia 15.7.1 (I'm not quite ready to go to 26 but I will soon).  I've installed Kodi (21.2 Omega according to the file I downloaded) and the NextPVR client add-on (21.3.2) on the Mac.  When I open Kodi after setting this up everything works fine.  If I reboot the RPi, Kodi on the Mac continues to work just fine.  But if I reboot the Mac, when I open Kodi and go to 'TV,' I'll see a screen where it shows a message saying something like "PVR manager starting up" with a little spinning circle, and it just spins and spins and spins.  In order to get the NextPVR client add-on to work again I have to reinstall Kodi from the downloaded file over the existing Kodi.  Then the NextPVR client is right there when I open Kodi, without me having to re-add the add-on.

Is this a known problem with a solution or workaround?  I don't know if I have the same problem after the Mac goes to sleep; I haven't worked that out yet.

Thank you

Moved my Hauppauge quadHD card to a newly built box and installed NextPVR. Web interface only produces 500 errors. Purged and reinstalled, same result. System info and log attached, please help.

Hi,

Today I was looking at the NextPVR TV guide seeing what NFL games were on and what I wanted to record (if any). The TV guide just says "NFL Football" for all the games so the only way to see what games are on is to click on the time slot to see the game info.

What I would like to see in the TV guide is who is playing as well. For example "NFL Football: Chicago Bears at Baltimore Ravens", "NFL Football: San Francisco 49ers at Houston Texans". The same could be applied to other sporting events like College Football, NHL Hockey etc...

Thanks for listening.

Hi there.
When I try to schedule a recording using the web app, I am unable to use the keyboard to select which TV channel I want to record.  As soon as I try to expand the channel category, my NVDA cursor enters into a search box, and the up and down arrow keys have no effect, I am forced to use the mousekeys to try and scroll down to click on the right channel to record the show, and this is very difficult.
I am totally blind and I use a text to speech screen reader called NVDA, along with the latest version of firefox, 144.0 (64-bit) on windows 10.
Are you able to make the web app more accessible?
Thanks

I am running 7.0.1 (241229) on a Windows 10 computer and I use Schedules Direct for my EPG source.  When I use either the Web App or the Desktop App to record an NFL Football game, I am unable to get it to record just one game.  It will record every NFL Football game on that channel for the next 2 weeks, which is the maximum time populated by Schedules Direct.  

In the past I have always double clicked on the entry in the TV Guide, then clicked "Record".  I would then set the post-padding to 20 minutes to ensure that I get the full recording if it goes over.  I then select "Record Once" for Recording Type.  Then I click "OK".   The Keep is set to "All Recordings" because I do not want previous recordings of games to be deleted automatically.  

I will then look in the Scheduler and there will be a single pending NFL Football game (the one I scheduled).  Then the next week when more games are on, I will notice several recordings scheduled.  I keep thinking that I am doing something wrong so I am being very careful to select the correct thing, but this keeps happening.  I have used NPVR to record certain NFL games for many years and this never happened before this year when I upgraded from the old 4.2.4 to version 7.

nextpvr version:  7.0.3.250920

Since updating to this version I have noticed that the season and episode numbers are not being correctly identified for some
programs when using the broadcast EPG.  My location is the UK.

An example is as follows:
   From nextpvr:
   Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing
   (S00E01) Paul and Bob travel to Hampshire to fly fish in the idyllic River Itchen with their trusty canine friend Ted in tow. Also in HD. [S,AD]

The raw EPG  had the following data:
   name: "Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone...",
   description: "...Fishing. 1/6. Paul and Bob travel to Hampshire to fly fish in the idyllic River Itchen with their trusty canine friend Ted in tow. [S,AD] [HD]"

There are quite a few UK shows using this n/n format which do not appear to be identified correctly.

If you need any further details, let me know.
 50920   7.0.3.2509207.

I have NextPVR installed on a Win10 machine, using Kodi as client. Works fine (records per schedule, plays back as expected) except for one issue - we cannot get the closed-captions (AKA subtitles) to play. In Kodi, if I click on the subtitle icon, a window pops up showing that they are enabled but that it doesn't have the file... clicking to find the file reveals an icon of the show I'm watching but selecting it appears to load an "unknown" file. Worse, when I try to restart the playback, Kodi freezes and eventually I can get kicked back to the main screen or out the app altogether.

If I am watching the show live with either the browser client or the native client (can't remember which) I can get the subtitles but if it's playing a recorded show it's iffy.

Any suggestions welcome as my wife really needs the subtitles on many shows.

I keep getting failed recording (maybe 50%) on my headless Debian server but I can't understand why from the logs. I attached the portion of the log I think is pertinent then I attached the full logs.
Is it having trouble with the stream? Is there something I can do to make it more consistent?

I also keep seeing these PowerManagement StayAwake (needs implementation)

I googled but don't believe I have any power management active on the server. I've never known it to sleep in the years I've had it.

Hello

I am attempting to complete the move of NextPVR from version 4 on a Windows computer to version 7 on linux.  I've got NextPVR up and running on the linux computer and everything is great.  Now I'm attempting to get my library of recordings from the Windows computer to show up on the linux system.  So far what I've done is:

Add a NAS to the network, create a shared folder for the old NPVR recordings, and copy all of the recordings to the new share.
Copy the old NPVR database and other config and backup files to a different shared folder on the NAS (the copy was updated immediately prior to attempting to run NextTool).
Make sure there are no permission issues with any of these file shares (all good).
Add the NextTool files to /opt/nextpvr/system and create the soft links as instructed in the wiki.
Reboot the linux system.
Backup the database, config, etc files on the new linux setup (immediately prior to attempting to run NextTool).
Attempt to run NextTool with the following command:

sudo -u nextpvr /opt/dotnet/dotnet /opt/nextpvr/system/NextTool.dll --merge /mnt/badcorginas_share/Configuration

This was the result:

A fatal error was encountered.  The library 'libhostpolicy.so' required to execute the application was not found in 'opt/nextpvr/system/'.
Failed to run as a self-contained app.
 - The application was run as a self-contained app because '/opt/nextpvr/system/NextTool.runtimeconfig.json' was not found.
 - If this should be a framework-dependent app, add the '/opt/nextpvr/system/NextTool.runtimeconfig.json' file and specify the appropriate framework.

(Note:  any typos in those results are mine since I'm logged in here on a different computer and I couldn't just cut and paste.)

So where do I get the libhostpolicy.so?  Is that a standard linux download from somewhere?
Also, in the zip file I downloaded to get NextTool the runtimeconfig.json file is called NextEnd.runtimeconfig.json.  Is that a typo?

Any help you can give me is much appreciated.
