@Sub,
It appears that only the last channel in a Group (i.e. Channel 10 of 1-10, Channel 20 of 11-20, etc...) is being updated in my Update EPG. I ran the -emptydb and it clearled all the channels, re-added and still have the same issue. I have attached the log for your review.
I have been trying to figure this out for a while and it's driving me mad, and my wife.
If this topic has already been answered, please point me to the post, or exact examples of batch files.
I use EPG Collector to scrape for epg data and this gets inserted into the WMC guide each day on a windows schedule, and this has been working for years.
I have been using Emby over the past year and this has been meeting my needs perfectly.
Until recently I was using ServerWMC to get Live TV in Emby, but due to very erratic recording of live TV, I now have switched to NextPVR Pluggin
So far NO recordings have failed, which is fantastic, but I am still having to manually run the guide update from the NextPVR ui.
NextPVR/Settings/Channels/Update EPG
Once this has been done, Emby updates the guide on a schedule I have set.
I have set up a Windows Schedule to run EPGCollector and create an XMLTV file - TVGuide.xml
This runs twice a day to keep the EPG updated.
So my question is - how do I get NextPVR to update the Guide automatically from the TVGuide.xml file?
I have spent some time on the NextPVR site reading the Wiki but still can't figure it out. I need to create a .bat file, but I'm a bit of a novice at this.
Sorry for the long post.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I was trouble shooting a tuner issue and deleted both ATSC 7164 tuners. The QAM versions are still there.
How can I get them to show back up in the Devices list?
I see this error in the NPVR.log file after updating to 3.4.8:
Unexpected error doing Schedules Direct login: System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
at NShared.SchedulesDirectJSONEPGSource.DoPOSTRequest(String url, String token, String body)
Doing a DVB-S scan with the new version takes an age and only produces channels from two transponders by the looks of it.
10714 and 12266. If required I could restore to the previous versin without too much trouble,
Attached is scanprob.zip a clean log from a scan with the new version just now.
At http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...i-scanning is a full clean working scan from the previous version a couple of days ago.
UnicastReceivecallback (Http Response) gives you that what you Need to create the capture
MulticastReceivecallback (M-Search Response || Notify Response)is only needed if you want react if the Sat>Ip Device Connection is lost so stopp demux and or Switch to other Sat>Ip Device
I tried to update to v.3.4.8 but now I can't watch live tv or record. I get the message "Unable to communicate with recording service"
I've tried to uninstall the new version and then reinstalling v.3.3.8 but that version doesn't work either. I've also tried to restart my PC a couple of times. My recording device works fine. I've tested it with DVBViewer.
I use Windows 8.1
I've attached the log files to this message. Not sure if these are the correct files though.
If you're upgrading from a previous release, remember to make sure you stop NextPVR before running the upgrade.
Please post any support issues in the support forum.
Changes:
Quote:- added support for multi-record on HDHR devices
- added HDHomeRun tuner locking, to stop other applications from being able to steal tuners
- speed up stopping of HDHR graphs
- added diseqc support for a wider range of devices, including Digital Devices, Pinnacle, AnySee and a couple of others
- added support for SAT>IP devices
- digital scanning now shows provider information if known
- added ability to sort scan results by clicking any of the columns, for making it easier to find specific channles in a long list of results.
- added ability for channel groups to have a different sort order than the channel numbers. This effects the order channels are shown in the TV Guide etc.
- added support for listing/switching audio tracks, and subtitle tracks, on a wider range of video files like mkv files etc (if source filter support standard IAMStreamSelect interface).
- added ability to edit digital channel tuning properties on the Setting->Channel screen, in channel settings. (previously you could do this, but have to get into the channel via the Settings->Devices screen, and had to do it separate for each tuner mapped to the channel)
- 'groups' screen now shows more information about the channels, and allows you to drag and drop to adjust the order within a channel group.
- improved error reporting in the case of a HDHomeRun Prime recording failing to start
- HDHR-TC now only lists QAM/ATSC (not HDHR) options in Settings->Devices screen, to minimize confusion.
- changed titlebar from 'nPVR' to 'NextPVR'. Sorry if this causes any issues with remote control apps. I'd been reluctant to do it in the past for this reason, but I got sick of looking at it and wanted it changed.
- if you tries to play a non-.ts file in client mode, it now gives them a message to tell them "this file type is not compatible with client mode"
- added "-first" and "-second" commandline parameters which can be used to override the "start on second monitor" setting
- fixed a problem where webclient could restart with lower resolution UI
- added a "method=system.log&type=error&msge=asdasdasdasdasd" api that web client can use for logging in web.log. Default type if not specified is 'debug'. Also supports 'info', 'error', 'warn'.
- added a "method=recording.lastupdated" api to get the time of last change to the recording list
- fixed a 'divide by zero' crash that could occur in NPVRTSReader.ax with files with broken timeline.
- added a 'forget' menu item in the Recordings screen, so you can forget a recording, allowing it to be recorded again.
- added ability to strip prefixes from show EPG titles when the EPG is imported, and have default it to include a few common nuisance that some broadcasters use (like "All New ...");
- changes to the metadata screens to make them more usable from the Recording screen. ie, now shows recording date, subtitle, changes to the multi-file screen layout to have buttons for resume etc, supporting the user-defined red/green/yellow/blue color tags.
- added a info screen when playing videos, accessed via Ctrl-I, which shows information about video or live stream being watched (codec, resolution, signal strength etc). I'll probably add further info to this during the pre-release cycles.
- added support for MCE remote zoom/aspect button to toggle aspect ratio
- fixed issue webserver not parsing requests correctly
- 'Import Recording' feature can now import an individual .ts file by pointing at external xml file produced when using <StoreSeparateMetadataXml>.
- wider popups for selecting subtitle/audio streams, to accommodate longer descriptions
- fixed issue with description of MKV subtitles.
- fixed a long standing bug where attempts to overwrite a recording with a recording of the same name could cause a broken recording with only small samples every 10 seconds or so
- fixed an HDPVR xml error that could occur with some blaster executables or args.
- more graceful exit from live tv if you kill recording service while watching tv. Previously you'd get a persistent message box that was difficult to get rid of.
- remove spammy "GetDuration returning ...." log message
- fixed error where video library list position could get messed up, making it difficult to get to some items.
- updated Schedules Direct support to include a wide set of countries, include some European countries (including automapping where possible).
- added titles to audio/subtitle selection popups (thanks for the taking the work out of it for me Whurlston!)
- fixed issue with conflict recordings being include as upcoming recordings in the "method=recording.list"
- settings screen is now larger. Some screens were very cramped, and it was hard to find space for some new settings I wanted.
- added a 'use S01E01 style file naming if possible' setting.
- added a 'Use Movie.Name.(YEAR) format for movies if possible' setting.
- running "-emptydb" will also cause the Setting screen to show, like a fresh install
- fixed a bug where mouse could hide while Settings screen is visible, making it hard to do anything
- moved to most recent Schedules Direct API
- more accurately reporting Hauppauge HDPVR2 and Colossus2 model names
- improvements to teletext subtitle rendering
- now possible to control teletext subtitle delay. Previously you could only control the delay on DVB Subtitles.
- now showing " (SxxExx)" in Recordings screen if this info is known.
- improvements to recording export to ensure all show details are exported (star-rating, genre etc, which were previously missing) and to fix the start/end times.
- fixed problem where mouse could auto hide while settings screen is visible
- fixed problem that cause only a single color flag to be exported with recordings
- fixed problem with season/episode info on the new Schedules Direct API
- increase maximum subtitle delay
- handling age info like "(13)" from the end of name when looking for metadata
- handling (T), (S), ® when looking for metadata
- added support for retrieving artwork from Schedules Direct for those people using this EPG service.
- fixed issue with range header when streaming via HTTP
- updated NEWA
I have moved from SageTV to NextPVR using Kodi\XBMC as the primary interface. For this to work as desired I need for the recording to show up in the Kodi TV Shows Library.
I have found IGL to be the best (possibly only) way get the shows to show up in the Kodi Library but I still have a few issues and questions that I have not been able to answer\solve.
I am running IGL in the "PostProcessing.bat" using the following:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR\ImageGrabLite.exe" --oid %3 --season --rename --nfo
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR\ImageGrabLite.exe" --oid %3 --nfo
I use the --rename option mainly because I want the SXXEXX naming standard so that the shows will show up in Kodi\Plex and SageTV after they are recorded.
What I have found with using the --rename option is that if it renames the file it will not create the --nfo file.
If the renamed file gets the SXXEXX information then generally the .nfo is not necessary but often it renames with something like: "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart.2015-04-23.Neil deGrasse Tyson.ts"
Generally only News type programs or specials don't get a good match but there are some files like "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" that also don't match well with Season\Episode information.
The non Season\Episode naming standard does not seem to scan into Kodi without the .nfo file.
For that reason I run the second IGL lookup just to add the nfo file.
This approach generally gets everything into Kodi but since I use multiple recording Libraries I can end up with multiple folders in Kodi for a show like "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart".
I may have an entry for the show for each recording drive instead of one folder for all episodes of a show. (So not all episodes are grouped together)
Questions:
Is there another approach where I can only create the .nfo file when there is not a Season\Episode match? (Or another approach in general that might work better)
Also: I see the Season\Episode information in the Guide before the recording in most cases but it does not appear to get used in the rename process. I see in the IGL log that the Season\Episode data seems to be missing.
Is there an option that might force it to rename with the Guide Season\Episode data?
Lastly: I was able to fix one issue I was having by updating the version of IGL I was using. But...the update seemed to be buried in the forum. Is there a location where the latest beta version of IGL is always located?
