New Setup worked fine for a few hours with the channels showing up. (hadn't yet tried to acquire guide data). Later when hitting "Live TV" the warning popped up that I didn't have a temp folder on C drive for "KODI live tv buffer". So I created one on C drive, then hit Live tv and got the black screen with no audio. Then I put one on my desktop titled "KODI live tv buffer" and set the target for it. The result is the same. I know the channels are there and a right click tells me which channel is selected. BTW: UI mode is set for PVR, not TV Viewer.
I have been using Windows 7 Media Center. After upgrading to Windows 10, I am trying to set up Kodi with NextPVR to replace WMC.
PC (this worked fine in Windows 7 with WMC)
8 core AMD CPU
16 GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 6300M Series
Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1800 ATSC
I managed to install NextPVR and it recognized my Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1800 ATSC. Scan got all the channels.
However, live TV give blank screen. I went to Settings -> Decoders.
Set Video Renderer to VMR9. This was used in MPC-HC and it worked well.
Video Decoders:
MPEG2 Video Disabled and there is no other options
H.264 Video: Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder and there is no other options
HEVC Video: Disabled and there is no other options
Audio Decoders:
MPEG1 Audio: Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder and there is one option MPEG Audio Decoder
All other 4 types are disabled without any options
Checked for Only use mapped audio decoders during .ts playback
I tried to open file to play. Only AVI files. Other format, mp4, mts, mkv do not work. These video plays fine in MPC-HC on this PC (probably with hardware decoder).
What is the proper way to get decoder working on Windows 10?
I have a realtek 2832u USB tuner that worked perfectly with nextpvr and Windows 10.
I recently upgraded to Wimdows 10, making a clean install, and after reinstalling the tuner drivers and nextpvr I'm unable to set up the card.
When I select my region in the drop down of the setup page and press the scan button it apparently scans normally, but when it finishes no channels appear on the list.
I have tried to plug the tuner on a Win 7 laptop and it works correctly, so it's not an issue with the tunner or the aerial cable.
Has someone managed to get a realtek 2832u tuner working under Win 10?
I am finding at times that NEWA becomes non-responsive. It could be my PC, you never know (entirely possible!). But that said - has anyone gotten IIS working as the web server, pointing at NEWA (/web)?
FYI, I do also see sometimes that when I click on an item in the guide, the window opens but there is no option to record. If I just Logout, then go back to the guide - the record option has returned! Just so folks are aware of it.
I came across NPVR from the Kodi forums when I began looking for an alternative to WMC due to the recent guide changeover just absolutely butchering my data. Prior to WMC, I was a long time SageTV (and still have all of my licenses) until the Google buyout. Prior to trying NPVR, I had setup MediaPortal with less than stellar results from my perspective. Let me say that I love just how simple it was to "just make it work" with NPVR. My Kodi boxes around the house are running beautifully right now.
Seeing as how I was a previous user of both WMC and SageTV, I have become accustomed to the intelligent recording logic that both used (I still to this day believe that SageTV has some of the best recording logic I've ever seen). I have 5 tuners, one colossus for use with my Dish box and 4 hdhr tuners for ATSC. What I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around is the logic that NPVR is using for recordings. Again, due to what I've used extensively in the past, I'm accustomed to adding a favorite, telling it to record "new", and letting the logic figure out how to deal with conflicts. That does not appear to be how NPVR does things. When I look at my web interface for managing recordings, I see conflicts that don't seem to have resolutions. A prime example would be tonight: I have 5 satellite shows that air on Sunday nights, all are setup as recurring favorites, record only new, any time slot, any channel. All of these shows have multiple airings of the same "new" episode. Obviously the "new" episodes for each are in conflict with each other. The prior softwares I've used appear to have this logic: if conflict, then take top priority show and record it and find an alternate airing of the lower priority show and record that episode. In the past, this didn't always work and recordings were missed, but that was the very rarest of occasions.
So, how does the recording logic for NPVR work? I think that I can work my way around the conflicts if it doesn't behave as I've described above, that will just require more vigilance on my part with the web interface. I've also done quite a bit of searching on the forums regarding this, and I'm coming up empty. Maybe I'm not searching for the right combination of terms. It definitely would not be the first time that I've done that!
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

P.S. SageTV is about to go open source, so it might be worthwhile to taking a peak at how their recording engine works when the time comes. I'm by no means a coding expert (mostly relegated to visual basic in excel), but getting that type of logic into NPVR would be something that I'd definitely be willing to take a crack at.
I recently installed the latest version of NextPVR and cannot get the web server to start. I found the below listed errors associated with the problem, which are repeatable at every restart of the nrecord service and after multiple reboots. On researching it, I found another user getting the same error messages, but without any resolution. I have tried a clean install, removing the Temporary ASP.NET files, updating the recommended DirectX files, updating and repairing the .NET install, and a number of other things. Does anyone have any additional steps I could try? Thanks.
Here is the error from NPVR.log:
Code:
