Things were working great ... and then I upgraded to Windows 10. Sigh ... . Now I cannot connect to my DCR-2650, keep getting the error about unable to find any available capture devices. But FYI, running WinTV8 on the same PC -> it works, I get video out.
Here is what I tried with NextPVR,
- opening the program, went to Live TV -> no available capture devices.
- tried to go to devices, device setup, and scan channels -> just hangs
- hit cancel -> Unhandled Exception (info below)
Any thoughts? BTW, I can also access the DCR-2650 from IE, look at the settings, etc. And the NextPVR log is attached (NPVR.log).
Thanks!

I had some issues with 3.4.8 where it wouldn't reliably open some channels so I downgraded back to 3.3.8 (I had an old install file saved on my harddrive).
Now I tried to setup schedules direct on 3.3.8 but I receive an exception whenever I try to do so. So my question is, is there a place I can download version 3.3.8 with latest patches, or is there an archive of version 3.3.8 patches?
I'm using USB DVB-T dongle based on IT9135bda.
I install nextpvr 3.3.8 on my previous kodi (14.2) setup and everything worked perfectly.
I recently upgrade my kodi to 15 and the nextpvr to 3.4.8 and when I try to enable to nextpvr plugin in kodi, it's start to scan channels (I think) and immediately after that the plugin become disabled again.
I have no idea what causing that.
I'll appreciate any help I can get.
The Rovi guide source is adding some cool features, one is icons for each show with links to the icons embedded in the xmltv listing. This is one example:

One problem: npvr fails to load this xml file with an error:

Yes, it would be possible to pre-parse the xml file before npvr tries to load it to remove all of the = signs, but that would ruin the chance of USING these icons in the future. can this be fixed? thank you!
Attached is the xml file, I had to do a multipart zip with 7-zip due to the zip file size limitations.
I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find any conclusive instructions or guides on how to archive recordings to another drive or network share.
I have a small Windows 7 VM with NextPVR setup, it currently records to the SSD C drive which has only 22GB of space. I want to move the recorded files to a network share quickly after recording finishes. Is there a plugin or some simple steps I can follow to get this process working?
Kodi 15
SageDCT 2.7.4 x64
NextPVR 3.4.8
Windows 8.1
First I just want to say that this is working great so far, but I've noticed my Live TV Buffer folder filling up, (see attached pic).
Is there a setting I missed that cleans this up or should i try some sort of scheduled task to take care of this? I have a 250GB SSD with about 180GB free but at the rate I'm going it won't be long before this gets filled.
Is it contained in version 3.4.8 or not? I am not clear on this from browsing this forum.
I am using 3.4.8 on Windows 10 and as the backend with Kodi. I don't have a signal strength problem, and the subs come through fine on the HD Homerun software and HD Homerun add-in to Kodi.
I can't tune them with NextPVR. If the station is xx.1, I am fine on NPVR: if it is xx.2, I get black and the program appears to hang.
After more than a few false starts with NextPVR I'm ready to throw in the towel and try deleting it from my computer completely. I've gladly donated to the cause, tried various fixes and yet the persistent issues drive me nuts.
How can I delete everything completely? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
. Now I cannot connect to my DCR-2650, keep getting the error about unable to find any available capture devices. But FYI, running WinTV8 on the same PC -> it works, I get video out.
