Hopefully someone can help with this issue which has unfortunately prevented me from using NPVR in Kodi.
Whilst in Kodi and watching LiveTV, I hit the power button and it puts the PC to sleep.
When the PC wakes up from a sleep state, Kodi is frozen and eventually I have to quit Kodi via task manager or Alt+F4. At times, a message has come up stating no tuner is available.
Alternatively, If I stop the live tv steam in Kodi, put the PC to sleep and then wake it up, Kodi automatically start the TV stream again (I've set TV to start automatically in Kodi settings) and it continues to work fine.
I don't have this issue when running Kodi with serverwmc backend, so I can only surmise its a compatibility issue between Kodi and nextpvr. Not sure if this is a Kodi or npvr issue though.
I'm running the latest version on npvr and Kodi 15.0. The problem also existed in Kodi 14. Running PC with OS Win7 64bit. Npvr logs and xbmc log attached. (hopefully ive done these correctly)
I'd prefer to use npvr so hopefully someone can see where the problem is. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi All,
I recently updated to Win8.1. mostly things are working ok. However, I had a bunch of very old recordings (kids stuff mostly) that was in the old DVR-MS format from way back. These no longer play in nPVR. it just instantly cancels out when trying to play the file.
Is there a fundamental change in Windows 8.1? I can play the files in media player classic. They also play in VLC but with poor decoding results.
My feeling is that this is probably some sort of codec issue?
Just tried to upgrade to NPVR, I have been using PVRX2 with MVP for a long time and have been very happy with it (I've resisted making any changes to the DVR set-up for as long as I can). I found out the Raspberry Pi can connect to NPVR though so thought it would be a great time to upgrade.
I have XP SP3 with Hauppaugge 2250 dual tuner and two PVR150 cards. Trying to scan the for the ATSC channels on the 2250 in North America and I get the same channel and sub channels repeated (I believe this is the channel broadcasting at the lowest frequency) and none of the other channels are found. Also, it does the channel scan very quickly (about 1/2 second per frequency, which is must faster than I've seen any other app do). The Hauppauge WinTV app is able to tune to all the channels ok.
I still have PVRX2 running and scheduling recordings, I didn't think there should be any compatibility issues between the two (nothing is recording when I try to do the channel scans).
I cleaned out the log directory, opened NPVR, and tried one ATSC channel scan on the 2250. Logs of this attached.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, can't wait to get the "new" program working (I guess I've been a bit behind).
Thanks for the awesome DVR software!
1. How can I see what shows are scheduled to record? Nothing shows up in "Pending Recordings" and yet there is RED on some shows that I specified to record.
2. How can I cancel a season? I can select a show that is RED in the EPG and can cancel that episode but not a season.
I'm new to NextPVR - switching from MP, when T2 isn't properly supported
Problem is, when watching a channel it only buffering video for 19 min / 50 sec.
It is possible to extend the buffer size? (Have plenty og diskspace free for TS buffer files)
I'm not able to se any configuration in the config.xml that manages buffering.
I notice some database locked errors in the nrecord.log. Sample:

At first, I thought it was nextpvr. But, now I see it's likely ImageGrabLite. The reason I think this is the file gets renamed physically, however, the filename is not changed in nextpvr.
Could it be, the issue is I do 6 recordings at a time? Perhaps, when they all end about the same time, ImageGrabLite fights with itself?
I'm having a lot of issues keeping NextPVR working on my network. When I do a fresh windows 7 install with HDHomerun and NextPVR I can easily setup NextPVR add-on in Kodi on my nexus player and everything works instantly, at this point the guide is available in my webrowser using localhost:8866 as well. However a few hours later NextPVR in kodi loses connection with the server. NextPVR keeps working fine on server PC but when I try accessing localhost:8866 at that point in the Chrome browser on the mediacenter PC it can no longer access the TV guide either saying "connection refused" (it works within the NextPVR app but not on the browser). I have tried enabling the multicast, upnp, and PPPoE pass through settings in the router, putting the server PC in DMZ on router, swapping routers, disabling windows firewall, and changing windows firewall settings but nothing helps. I have also created a backup image right after setting up the computer and getting everything working, but when i restore to it after it stops working it won't work again.
I have attached my log files hoping someone can help. As far as network, I have Charter cable internet Arris modem connected to DLINK DIR655-router with wired ethernet connections through unmanaged Zyxel GS1100-16 switch to media server PC running windows 7 ultimate, nexus player with ethernet adapter, and HDHomerun prime with Charter Cablecard.
Like I said, I can get everything working fine but for some reason after a few hours it seems like something start blocking the connection. I have no idea what to do at this point and any help would be much appreciated.
