I have an HP Touchsmart 600 PC/HTPC with Windows 10. I've tried six or eight times to make this software work. I seem to have three separate problems.
1. The setup recognizes the internal PCTV card, an AVerMedia BDA ATSC Tuner. When I run the device setup with the PC connected to my Comcast cablebox, the setup (both as ATSC and QAM) scans more than 100 channels, but shows me no results on the channel list. Then, when I try to run Live TV, the software messages me "No tuner found."

2. When I run the scan with the cable connected directly from the service to the PC bypassing the cable box (in QAM), I get a long, long list of digital channels, but when I try to run Live TV I get a message "Unable to connect to recording device."

3. Windows 10 seems to have rendered my Touchsmart software unusable, but that's not your problem.

Is there some guidance you can give me for the first two problems? Please help. Since Microsoft has taken away my Windows Media Center, I can't watch TV on this device, which was designed expressly for the purpose of watching TV on a PC while actually working on a PC.
Anyone there know anything?

So advancedsettings.xml seems to be like the cool club that people talk about in passing, but never directly address

Apologies if I missed the obvious explanation - I did search but didn't find the idiots guide

I'm lost - It didn't get installed when I added the script so I guess I have to create it myself, but I can't see any indication what I can put in there.

Any help gladly received

(I'm looking to use SMB so I can make use of comskip btw if that makes any difference!)

I'm running Kodi Gotham (long story why I am still on it) with NextPVR 3.5.7 running on a Windows 8.1 Brix.

Been using X-newa for a long time very happily.

This past weekend all of a sudden I get "unable to load newa data" when I start up X-newa from Kodi. I had not made any changes or anything. So today was my day to try to work out what was wrong.

So I try it on my desktop (test) machine and I get the exact same thing.

By the way, it is version 2.4.7 of X-newa. So after doing all the obvious stuff like reloading Kodi, re-booting the machine, nothing changed.
I had had a similar problem many months ago and what I did then was uninstall X-newa and reinstall. Everything was fine after that. So I tried that to no avail. When I re-installed it was now version 2.4.7rc2.

I use X-newa all the time and I miss it.

What logs do you need and what else should I try?

I apprecate any help you can give.

Is it possible to get a .ts file recorded with a different device to play in NextPVR?

Hi!
You can see longer All Frequencies list(menu) with one duplicate entry which should be QAM 64/256(6900 kBd).
That list will be shorter if you select any country and go back to All Countries.
Thanks.

I have just replaced the innards of my media server that was running mythtv under ubuntu, with a new low powered AMD system.

Although the old setup ran reasonably well, for various reasons including ease of maintenance I would now like to run windows, especially since as part of my family's Windows 8/10 transition I have recently liberated a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate.

That is now just running on my newly installed hardware, but I would ideally like to move to Windows 10 to future proof it and generally minimise future tinkering.

My question is whether people generally believe NextPVR is sufficiently stable under Win 10, to enable me to create substantially a set up and forget installation with Kodi, or whether I should stick to Windows 7 and MMC for now.

All thoughts and advice gratfully appreciated!

NPVR has been working fine for years but now, for some reason, NPVR has stopped recording, in that it seems to be recording but nothing is created.
I can see live TV and select different channels, the EPG updates and I can select programs to record. When it should be recording Services shows NPVR Recording Service running but no longer is there a program resulting. A search for the .ts file finds nothing on the hard drive also.
A similar thing has previously happened where an empty Folder was created but a reboot fixed that and reboots are not fixing it now.
I am running Win 7 and the latest update.
Attached are the log files (hopefully). I had a look at them but I don't know what I am looking at.

Hi there, I am a new user to NextPVR and currently have version 3.5.7 installed.

I used to use WMC but since that was dropped in Windows 10, I decided to use NextPVR. I've been reading the forums and making some progress but there is one setting that I can't seem to get to work, assuming I understand it correctly. Under SETTINGS - MISC2 - I have enabled the options "Handle MCE Remote Events" and "Start NextPVR with MCE Remote Green Button" as I was expecting this launch/open NextPVR when I press the "big green button" on my Windows Media Center Remote however nothing happens. With those options set, shouldn't that open NextPVR when I press that button on the remote or am I missing a configuration option somewhere? Just curious if this works for other people.

Thanks!

Hello,

Hoping for some help here. I was using NextPVR and the world was a beautiful place... then I had to reinstall Windows. Now nothing seems to work.
I have no antivirus running atm on my Windows 10 machine.
I'm using the HVR-1250.

From the TV Guide I get the error "Unable to communicate with recording device".

If I try and start the NPVR Service I get "Unable to start service: Sytem.inValidOperationException Error.

The error from the NPVR log:

I don't understand. NextPVR was working perfectly pre-install.

I've also allowed every instance of NextPVR through the firewall.

Any direction would be helpful as I lost here.

Thanks!

I've recently discovered that when playing back recordings through my PCH A110, some of the picture (quite a lot, actually), is being cut off. The picture also appears to be stretched horizontally. I've noticed for some time that the menus are somewhat cutoff, but not to the point where they're not readable, so I never worried about it. But there surely must be some adjustment for this? Is this something that is set within the Settings of NPVR, or is it in the settings on the A110 itself? If someone could point me in the right direction I would be grateful.
