Just wanted to know if it's meant to be like this or whether my setup is wrong:

I have a smargo and I've switched from newcs to oscam recently. In oscam's webinterface, tab users, the user is offline until I watch an encrypted channel, it's status is then changed to active. As soon as I stop watching the encrypted channel, the status changes to connected and stays like that (until I watch an encrypted channel again, in which case it changes to active again).

After restarting oscam, when tuning to an unencrypted channel, the status does not change to active but stays offline (the card is not getting any emm's so if I'm not watching encrypted channels for a while my entitlements may have passed and when I then want to watch an encrypted channel it takes some time to receive new entitlements before I can watch that channel).

Hello, please help. My TV Guide is not updating shows. I have been using an xml batch file to update the EPG for a few years. I have never had an issue. The batch file is still updating but NPVR is not pulling it in. I have even gone as far as manually updating and my guide is still empty. Is there an issue or an alternative? Please help.

I use Kodi as a client and it crashed wall watching live tv and it left a tuner running on a channnel.
The status option in settings was showing it was in use but I could not find a way to stop it.

I am using a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2255 with just the drivers installed I didn't get the version that came
with thier software.

This is very rare and I had to reboot the server to release the tuner.

Thanks

I am using NextPVR version 3.3.8 to record from HDHomeRun box. Over the air transmissions. My mother uses it to record her daytime shows.

Everything is working, except the recorded time stamp. Everything comes up as being recorded On 01/??/2000 . this time stamp shows up in the mediadata for the file. But the date modified shows up correctly In the mediadata. my computer time is set correctly. the correct time is displayed in the name of the file. The file date is not displayed correctly which is confusing.

all programs are not created in the month of January 2000.

How can I correct this problem.

Thank you.

So any new recordings won't show up in Kodi (TV-Recordings) until Kodi is restarted. The new recordings show up fine in the NextPVR UI, just not in Kodi until it's restarted. It's almost like I just need to make the nextpvr client in Kodi refresh itself....any ideas?

Hi,

Windows 8.1 64bit all local.
Nextpvr V3.3.8
Kodi Helix V14.2
Kodi add on NextPVR client 1.9.21

Settings-misc live tv buffer is set to time, as that is was is used by the Kodi add on, however issue is preset when using the Nextpvr GUI, so I think this is a issue with the core software not the add on.

When I pause live tv the live tv buffer files are created as expected however they are deleted as per the normal cycle, which means you can't continue to watch as the next file is deleted.

The following might help to explain it.

Start watching live tv after 30 mins the following live tv buffer files are created (each file is 6:41min long):
live-TENDigital-3240-1.ts
live-TENDigital-3240-1-3.ts
live-TENDigital-3240-1-4.ts
live-TENDigital-3240-1-5.ts
For some reason the first file is never deleted, the last three files cycle, eg live-TENDigital-3240-1-6.ts is created then live-TENDigital-3240-1-3.ts is deleted. This seems ok, apart from the first file not being deleted.

When live tv is first paused the files look like:
live-TENDigital-3240-1.ts
live-TENDigital-3240-1-4.ts
live-TENDigital-3240-1-5.ts
live-TENDigital-3240-1-6.ts

After 45 or so minutes of being paused then play resumed the files look like:
live-TENDigital-3240-1.ts
live-TENDigital-3240-1-6.ts
live-TENDigital-3240-1-16.ts
live-TENDigital-3240-1-17.ts
live-TENDigital-3240-1-18.ts

This causes Nextpvr client to hang and Kodi helix V13.2 to hang and eventually says Tuner no longer available after a few minutes of play.

Looks like file 6 was unable to be deleted as it was the one in use at the time of pause, when play resumes it plays the rest of file 6 then hangs as there is no file 7 to play!

I have seen a few threads that mention this amongst other live tv issues, but I can't find any solutions.
Has this issue been addressed, or does it need investigation?

I can't use EPG buffer mode as it's not supported by the Kodi add on.

Regard.

I've been running X-newa for a few months now and everything's been working very smoothly and the wife's happy. I'm using a Rpi as the front end and I'm using the classic skin.

I was wondering if there is a way to queue up the list of recorded shows to watch where it will automatically start the next show when the current one finishes. The kid shows I have recorded sometimes are 10 minutes long and it'd be nice if I didn't have to go and manually start the next one. I did notice the "Process tagged files" feature but I didn't see an option to play the tagged files.

Any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks!

So I am trying to schedule a show to record as follows

rec type = record season (new episodes on this channel)
pre padding = 1
post padding = 2
dir = my def recording folder)
keep = all recordings.

When I set a show to record like the above it never actually schedules the show to record. I see the show listed in the "recurring recording" menu, but it never marks the show red like it's going to actually record it?

Any idea how to troubleshoot this issue?

Hi, I've recently gotten around to upgrading to 3.3.8 (2.6.4 wasn't broken, so I didn't fix it!). NextPVR itself is working great, but I've a few bugs with NEWA. Before I go into depth trying to reproduce errors and logs, maybe someone could point me in the right direction if this is a known issue?

Main issue is that sometimes a few (sometimes a lot) channels are missing from the NEWA / iNEWA EPG. Secondary issue is that iNEWA sometimes hangs at the 'loading' spinning wheel.

I decided to delete the entire /web folder and reinstall 3.3.8 to give a clean install, but the issue remains.

Thanks for any pointers.
