Using the "Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder" for H.264, video results in pixelated mess. I downloaded and installed ffdshow(32-bit) and selected it in the NPVR settings for H.264 but according to the logs, NPVR is still using the "Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder" instead of ffdshow.
I am running Win 8.1 Pro with WMC. I have installed Kodi and then NextPVR and when I select Settings > Devices in NextPVR I get the Unhandled exception error that says No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. What can I do?
Win 8.1 -- NPVR 3.4.8
So I can't get a live stream out of NPVR. On the server it is running on I can use the NPVR client and see live TV. It records just fine.
But if I use the Plex Plugin, or the touch interface, or the NEWA interface, I can't stream live. Not on Chrome, IE or Firefox, not on Roku or Android Plex clients.
Recorded stuff works fine.
Firewall is off, VLC installed on server, SAF6 Codecs loaded and Direct X 9 installed per directions.
Also in the NEWA interface I don't get the option (no Button) to stream live when I click on a show title.
In touch interface, nothing happens when I hit return on Live.
In Plex I get an error about the server not being reachable or that there wa a problem playing this item. All other Plex plugin options are fine. This happens even when I use the PLex client on the localhost.
I have read through the forums and not found anything that helped.
I've just installed 3.4.8 and selected Adelaide as the location for the DVB-T tuner. It didn't find the SBS channels as the adelaide.ini file points to the wrong frequency. SBS has been moved to 184500kHz which was originally assigned the old Analog CH-7, but has been re-assigned to SBS since they killed all the analog stations. A quick edit of the .ini file and a retry of the scan, and all is well.
I thought I'd report this in so future releases get the new freq.
Why do I have undreds of this pair of log entries when the recording service starts:

I thought I might post some items that I found useful.
Solutions related to: HDHomeRun, HDHR3-DT, Missing channels, Scan not finding anything, NextPVR
I have a HDHR3-DT that would not find channels when scanning. I tried a number of PVR programs on a number of computers with and without firewalls. After reading a lot of posts, installations on separate machines and other tests I have two things that may assist others in resolving this or similar issues.
#1
You can run the HDHomerun Config GUI application and the NextPVR or similar scanning program side by side. When you scan for channels you should see the HSHomeRun config program respond with a signal strength and a target IP address of the machine its trying to talk to. If your HDHomerun does not show a signal strength and signal quality bar when your scanning program scans a valid frequency then they are not talking to each other. This will let you focus your problem resolution.
#2
If they are talking but your application does not find any channels then check your firewall. Specifically when you open the ports in your firewall make sure you allow for the correct protocol. I found by default on Windows installations that the although the programs were allowed NextPvr, NRecord and NDigitalHost is was not until I specified either "Any" protocols or added in the specific ones I needed through the Windows Firewall that it worked. The simplest solution is to open Control Panel -> System and Security -> Windows Firewall -> Advanced Settings -> Inbound Rules then select or add the relevant program (NextPvr, NRecord and NDigitalHost). Right click and open properties, Choose Protocols and Ports and set the Protocol to "Any".
I've got NextPVR 3.4.8 installed on my server and it works great.
What I would like to be able to do now is have the guide and LiveTV available on my Android phone (Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4) from outside my LAN (across the internet).
I've been searching and reading but got pretty confused.
In anticipation of this thread I took 2 steps
1) Downloaded, installed VLC on the server
2) My router is not upnp so I forwarded 8866 to the server
The only settings change is that I told NEWA that VLC is at PF (x86) because it is a 64 pc.
For yuks, I went to my android browser and tried to go to the external address of the server and :8866. After logging in, I was met with a runtime error screen that I don't understand but I do see a couple things that were interesting:
It said "mode = OFF" and "mode = Remote Only"
If anyone could help me along, I would appreciate it.
I was advised in the Plex plugin community forum to open a new thread and continue with troubleshooting. I've chosen the standard support forum. If that is wrong, please move the thread..
Here is the npvr log from plex right after the failure.
Hi Guys! Long time listener, first time caller. I have never ever had a problem I could not solve by reading this forum. Until now.
Just upgraded from 3.3.8 to 3.4.8 (Schedules Direct necessitated it, you know) and now one of my two HDPVR2's shows not to be present. Either by itself shows up and works fine. ArcSoft can use either when they're both attached. I'm no log guru, but I don't see anything fishy. I'm attaching three NPVR logs, one each with just one HDPVR2 attached, and one with both. Also a FilterCheck log, in case that helps.
It's WinXP SP3 if you care, and it's not mission critical, so just about any abuse is acceptable, short of formatting and reinstalling Windoze. Any ideas?
