I have a Hauppauge Win TV 7164 dual tuner.
NextPVR recognizes both tuners and each one shows as having 5 channels associated with it.
However, when I try to record 2 shows at the same time I normally get an error on one of the recordings that says "device failed to start"
Can someone point me in the right direction as to what settings I need to check/change?
Thanks!
I've scheduled a number of programs which are sequential in the TV guide, and none of them record - except the first in the series - sometimes.
In this example, I'm attempting to record Varney on channel 149 (FBN) at 9am. The target recording file is created, but it is empty. Another program was also requested for 9am on another channel, but it too came up empty. These two programs were requested to be recorded right after another program on channel 1214 seemed to be recorded correctly at 6-9am.
This scenario repeats each day...
No pre or post padding. 4 tuner Ceton with 2 tuners disabled (only testing with 2 tuners).
I have a computer that was custom built 5 years ago for Windows 7 and my Hauppauge 1600 TV Tuner PCI card. I used Windows Media Center to schedule recordings and view TV. It worked beautifully.
Unfortunately my OS became corrupt and now must be reinstalled. The question is whether to upgrade to Windows 10 and try NPVR in lieu of the Media Center.
The computer specifications are
MB Gigabyte GA-EP43T-USB3 P43 R
GEForce 9500GT PCIE 2.0 512 MB DDR3 DVI TV Out 550 MHZ Ctlr
Box Pentium E6700 3.2 G 2C 2T 2 MB 64 XD S775
I also have to use an IR blaster to change the channels. But the TV Card and Windows Media Center managed to work with that and do automatic recordings.
Is this build capable of supporting Windows 10 and NPVR, along with simultaneously running other programs like Office and Firefox, or would I have to get new hardware to handle this stuff? I already know I need more RAM, right now it's just 4GB. It was attempting to add more RAM that revealed the corruption.
How much misery am I looking at to get everything working together as well as they did with Windows 7 and its Media Center?
If I stay with 7, it's going to take days to install all the updates, but it might be worth avoiding the hassle of upgrading the whole computer system at this time.
I'm struggling to get the newa interface working, I'm running windows 10 64 bit, I did have this working previously but after upgrading to the latest version it keeps coming back on chrome saying connection refused.
Ive tried changing the port, completely scraping npvr off starting again. Now here's the interesting thing the alpha 1 of the admin panel installs fine and runs but falls over on setting up the admin panel, so that attempt failed.
I do use norton internet security but the ports for npvr have been allowed in settings and switching norton off makes no difference. Is this a common problem or would the alpha 2 of the abandoned admin panel work, or am I just getting nowhere?
Yesterday evening my internet connection went down, and I discovered that it was impossible to start NextPvr, today the connection is up again and problem gone! This is not how it is supposed to, right?
Setup: video source connected to analog inputs of HDPVR2 on server in closet. Running NextPVR 3.5.7 on Windows 10.
I'd like to be able to view the stream from that tuner in two other rooms simultaneously. I can start one stream in VLC using a link like http://192.168.10.100:8867/live?channel=2, however if I try to start a second stream from a different PC (using that same URL) the first stream stops.
I've looked through the config files, but I haven't found anything that addresses simultaneous connections. Can anyone tell me if this is possible, and if so, how I can enable it?
Hello,
I have an idea for a native ios 9.1 app for npvr, that will initially just control the frontend provided in the installer via web/json api, if it supports that. Also I would also like it to play streamed tv, and schedule recordings from your phone or ipad.

This is a long post, but the length is necessary to describe the following usability issue:
NextPVR Version 3.5.7 appears to not properly manage a tuner lock on an HDHomerun Model: HDHR4-2US.
Discussion:
I have two computer systems that access the HDHomerun tuner:
System 1 – used exclusively for recording TV and always using tuner 0
System 2 – used exclusively for watching TV, always using tuner 1, and locked with system IP address
Update: System 2 uses VLC to view the TV stream, and is invoked via a CMD batch file.
If System 2 is using tuner1 on the HDHomerun device and NextPVR on System 1 needs that tuner for recording, NextPVR does not appear to know that it is locked by another IP address.
The end result is that no data is recorded and – more importantly – no errors are displayed by NextPVR - at least, none that I can find.
I understand that I create the problem by asking NextPVR to record using a tuner in use by another system, but trying to determine why there is no data being recorded is often very difficult after the fact. The reason being that: I do not always remember exactly when I start and stop watching TV on System 2.
Even if I have created the problem, I still believe that NextPVR should display some sort of error message on the GUI screen for that recording, such as is displayed when the recording is cancelled early. I have attached a screen print of that screen as an example.
That error message should indicate something to the effect that a needed tuner was locked and not available for recording.
In preparation for the new fall TV schedule, I have gone through and setup season pass for all of the shows we want recorded. All but one of them worked fine, and I see the associated episodes under Pending Recordings. The only show I had trouble with was Survivor. When I try to record all new episodes, or just all episodes on this channel, it saves the job but does not highlight episodes in red in the guide, and no episodes show up under pending recordings. There are no conflicts for that timeslot, and if I do a quick record, it successfully adds the individual episodes to the pending recordings - just not with season pass. I am using Schedules Direct - zip code 14301, and tried on both WIVB-HD and CIII-DT. Has anyone seen anything like this before?
