Hello, I'm trying to set up the EPG using the freesat option (I only seem to get now and next with the standard option) and I simply can't get it to work. I've followed the guides and my log filles are attached. I'm not convinced my set up is behaving correctly as the bulk map doesn't work (I had to set each one individually) and although I've reordered my channels it never saves the new config order. Any help would be greatly appreciated - I've followed a number of threads, but might just be using the wrong search strings so if I need pointing at a post and slapped for not finding it then please do so
I have 4 XBOX 360s that I use as media players. I installed and configred NextPVR last week. I formerly used GBPVR so not quite a newbie, but a bit rusty. I am able to record television in NextPVR, convert it from .ts to .dvr-ms with VideoRedo, and watch it from the XBOX 360s. However, it appears that Windows doesn't like the naming format in the metadata. If I record a season of shows from within WMC, the shows go into a single folder. When I record a season of shows using the new NextPVR process, it treats each recording as its own show. Has anyone dealt with this type of issue? Is there an easy way to correct it? TIA
Installed latest version of NextPVR on a Windows 7 Ultimate x64, 16 gb RAM, 120gb SSD drive.
The only thing not working is setting up groups in the EPG.
No error given, however, looking at the log file NPVR.log, this error shows up:
2015-09-04 15:12:41.185 [ERROR][1] Unexpected error in Channel.SaveAll(): System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteException (0x80004005): SQL logic error or missing database

Attached should be my log files. Thank you for your assistance.
Imagegrab lite was working fine for me, but I had not been using NPVR with very many TV channels back then, and was using XBMC.
Now I have Kodi, and more channels....imagegrablite is renaming the files to series.SXEX.title format OK...but for the life of me, I cannot get Kodi to scrape these files and populate the kodi database with the show information. Maybe it doesn't like the file format. Now when I dont rename with the utility and use the --nfo option, imagegrab lite seems to do the right thing and create the .nfo file. But again, Kodi scraper (using TVdb and tried others) doesnt pick it up...so metadata doesnt show up on screen when I select the file.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this one?
BTW....Kodi has no trouble scraping files obtained from places other than NPVR to properly extract metadata.....and pull down art.

PS. Here is an example test file created by IGL from a old show I recorded.....is this malformed?

After updating the UK Freeview Freesat Logos 10 days ago (which set the counters to 0 due to new file names) I was slightly surprised nobody had downloaded them - so downloaded them myself just to check the links were OK - Honest :o
Still nothing showing on the counters - so are they not working any more?
Occasionally when watching a recording from a client, over a wireless connection, the picture will freeze, then the screen goes black and the "Recording watched to completion. Delete?" message pops up on screen. I can restart the recording from the beginning and jump back to the same place and watch the rest of the show. I do use ComSkip, but for some reason NPVR jumps to the end and thinks I watched the whole show, even though it didn't really finish. I'm pretty certain that the primary cause is that I'm losing the wireless signal for a moment. Is there something I can set so that the server will know that the show didn't really end? I've attached both the client and server logs and you can see the file stop at 16:02.
I am very new to this all and I am a complete newbie so I don't really have a clue about it all.
I have downloaded NextPVR this evening and can't get it to work. Having two main issues, firstly the Update EPG on the channel scan isn't updating it is just going round and round scanning freq and not getting anywhere. Though the EPG in the TV Guide is up to date, so I presume it is working kind of.
Secondly the live TV isn't working at all. It is coming up with "Unable to communicate with recording service". I have looked up and seen that a few others have had this problem, but I am confused with the explanations and fixes to this issue. Sorry I am a complete newbie on things and any help would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks.
I'm running the Johnson42 comskip batch file and everything is working fine EXCEPT everyone of the programs is experiencing a 30 minute delay before processing starts. I'm listing the batch file below in the hope someone will see some setting I've gotten wrong that would cause this:
@echo off
cd /d c:\comskip
echo %date%,%time% - PostProcessing.bat invoked on %1 recorded from channel %2 >>processing.log
Rem list of channels to not run comskip on; PBS channels have no commercials
if "%2" == "2008" goto eof
if "%2" == "2078" goto eof
if "%2" == "2091" goto eof
if "%2" == "2092" goto eof
if "%2" == "2093" goto eof
if "%2" == "2094" goto eof
if "%2" == "2095" goto eof
if "%2" == "2096" goto eof
if "%2" == "2097" goto eof
goto next
kip
echo skipping comskip on %1; channel %2 in skip list >>processing.log
goto continue
:next
rem need to add a pause to avoid race conditions
echo --- sleeping %2 seconds to avoid simultaneous execution >>processing.log
sleep %2
rem check how many comskips are running; if 2 or more are running wait 1 minute and check again
rem the third parameter passed in npvr 1.5.36 and later is a unique recording oid number, so it makes a good filename to store the temporary count
:check
tasklist | find /c "comskip" > %3.txt
set /p count= <%3.txt
if %count% geq 2 (
echo ...%count% comskips running now, waiting 1 minute >>processing.log
sleep 60
goto check
)
del %3.txt
rem continuing now
Rem this trick also makes it possible to have dedicated comskip.ini file for certain channels.
rem if "%2" == "79" goto channel79
Rem use the default comskip.ini for all other channels
rem goto generic
rem :channel79
rem comskip --ini=channel79.ini %1
rem goto continue
:generic
echo %date%,%time% - invoking comskip on %1 >>processing.log
comskip %1
echo %date%,%time% - comskip finished with %1 >>processing.log
