Once again I'm having trouble upgrading NPVR. I tried to stop NPVR before upgrading but I don't think I did it correctly. (How do you stop it correctly in Windows 8.1? In Windows 7 I had no problems).

Now I cannot record or watch live TV. Last time the problem was that NPVR was not allowed through the firewall but as you can see here it seems that it's allowed now:
[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
I have attached my logs.

I was looking for answers to the problem of new recordings not showing in the recordings list. When the Nextpvr update became available, all works great now. Kodi 15.2.

You can download 3.5.7 from http://www.nextpvr.com/NPVRSetup_3_5_7.exe

If you're upgrading from a previous release, remember to make sure you stop NextPVR before running the upgrade, using the 'Stop NPVR Server' shortcut (or kill NTray.exe and stop the 'NPVR Recording Service' service).

Please post any support issues in the support forum.

- changes to the default menu and animations.
- app now tells user if they're missing decoders they require
- added better handling of initial default recording directory for new installs
- added a 'new' indicator in TV Guide grid. Its off by default, because it gets a bit annoying in countries where this info isn't known and everything is treated as 'new'. Enable on the Settings->Misc2 screen.
- updated SRT subtitle renderer to support subtitles that specify a font color
- fixed issue some users where having with multi-record on HDHR Prime devices.

I recently installed NextPVR 2.4.8 on a new Windows 8.1 system.
FYI, the installer did not create the initial NPVR service as it used
the directory C:\Users\Public\NPVR rather than C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR.

Hi everyone. Thx for your patience with another Newbie here.
1) First time install under Win 10 (I read some ppl using Win 10)
2) 1st run = no video, no audio, Guide is 100% "No Show" entries
3) Only Decoder choice I have is "MS DTV - DVD" (for vid & aud)
4) I enabled that Decoder in audio section and that got me good audio
on all channels
5) Now I have audio on all channels, no video on any channel, and
all Guide entries are still labled "No Show"
I play music, disks, vids, movies all the time with no codec problems
Thanks in advance for your thoughts/advice

I was having constant buffering with any live video from my Colossus Card Recordings were fine, as was TV off of my various OTA cards. I thought my PC had enough power (i7 .3.0 - 8GB RAM). After trying a bunch of other stuff I used a program called Process Lasso (Free version) to boost the priority of the NextPVR service. This solved the problem - both in the NPVR and Kodi front ends!

Hi all, I’m new to NextPVR. Since Media Center is not apart of Windows 10, I decided on NextPVR after doing some research. I have it installed and working with my Centon InfiniTV4 (The tutorials on how to get infiniTV to work were excellent btw). Now that I have it all installed, my current problem is that I cannot properly watch live tv. I searched the forums for days on end and found that the problem most likely stems from my decoders. After trying different configurations, I was able to get Live TV sort of working. I’m using the LAV decoders. I can select a channel to watch from the guide and it plays live tv fine for about 15 -20 minutes or so then the program freezes. Also, once I start watching live tv, if I attempt to change the channel using the keyboard, it freezes immediately. (I only have the keyboard for changing channels, no remote). I also noticed that fast moving objects appear to be a bit blurry while watching live tv. I have attached the log files from two separate occasions where the program locked up. The funny thing is, it records shows just fine and I can play those back without an issue. Is there a way to install different codecs that have a proven track record with NextPVR? If someone could please review the attached log files and provide assistance I would be most appreciative. :confused:

Has anyone found a way to fix audio Sync issues with Prime. I'm assuming with my loose knowledge of Video / Audio codes that it has something to do with keyframes and Prime having less of them meaning Audio constantly goes out of Sync if doing any skipping when watching or after minor otherwise barely noticeable glitches in the recording.

I had this problem when I had a sabbatical from GBPVR to Windows Media Center (which justified buying a couple of Xbox 360's as Extenders) and I've got it having come back to NPVR. Media Center's build in Codec support for Freeview I did find "slightly" more reliable for the Audio sync than NPVR with Monogram but it was still a shocker with Prime.

Has anyone found a way to make this more reliable or is it just life with Prime. I don't actually watch much on prime but its frustrating to have to constantly stop and resume to get it back into sync.

If it is 8:30 and I pull up the EPG in Kodi using the NextPVR client, it defaults to the 10:30 lineup.

In the EPG, channel 7.1 is correct, but channels 7.2 and 7.3 just show what 7.1 was. Channel lineup is from Schedules Direct.

Are these known issues or do I have my setup configured wrong?

I can get a screenshot in a bit, but right now everyone is watching a show.

I have had NPVR working with MC2XML.exe for a while now. I use the newer paid version that pulls the correct EPG data. Anyway, I noticed that I was missing a couple of recent recordings, and noticed my Guide was completely gone. Now, for some reason, when I go into NPVR to map channels, the Devicess show up just fine. The Scan reveals the proper channels, but when I go to map my XMLTV EPG, the Mappings drop down is completely blank. Just empty with no options. I reinstalled the entire operating system and reinstalled it all fresh after updating Windows 7 and I have the exact same issue.

I can watch live TV, and I have every channel that I need. My MC2XML hasn't change at all, except that the EPG data is up to date. My concern is not really my actual guide data though, more so that the channel mappings aren't working for some reason.

NPVR 3.4.8
