I just recently got my NextPVR/Raspberry Pi setup and functional. I've made some test recordings. A few from the NextPVR server, and a few from the client it's self. It doesn't matter from which I schedule the recording, the recordings don't show up in the list on my client, unless I reboot the Pi. Is there a setting I need to tweak in order to get the recordings to show?
I have just setup NPVR, but when I try to watch Live TV , I get audio but a black screen, same when I try to watch a recording.
When installing Kodi or similar, does this intergrate into NPVR or do I have to do it manually, how is this done?
I hope I have included the correct log!:o
I'm new to NextPVR and upon visiting the forums to find out why my "Program Guide" is empty, I discovered I need to install an "Add On". But nowhere am I finding a link to download any add ons, and Google turns up only a single Wiki entry to an add on called "Kodi" that has nothing to do with the EPS.
Is there a list of d/l links to compatible Add-ons for NextPVR? If it's built in, I'm not seeing it.
I have run into a problem using the web interface to record a show.
I search for TMZ and find the show.
I then select M-F any channel and add the recording.
However when I look on the desktop interface I see Advanced Rules: title like 'TMZ%'
Then in the pending I see TMZ and "TMZ Live", I don't want the "TMZ Live" shows, so I remove the % from the Advanced Rules but then there are no TMZ shows in pending anymore.
It used to work, I have removed the wildcard in the past (in the previous version, 3.2 I think), but now it does not seem to work anymore.
How do I get TMZ and not TMZ Live?
In addition I did attempt to export the recordings to an .xml remove all shows except TMZ modify it in the XML and re-import it back in.
I tried several variations on the .xml and the recurring.xml gets imported and I see the show, but I did not get any pending TMZs.
Schedules Direct sent me an email indicating the API NPVR is using is being phased out (email follows):
Hello - the API that you are using (API 2014-05-30) is now end-of-life
effective 2015-07-01, and no further schedule updates will be
performed.
From the server logs, your grabber is still making requests to the old
API. Because the old API had a max of 13 days of data, sometime in the
next few days you will have no schedule data remaining.
The developers of your applications were notified that the API would
be going end of life on 2015-04-17, and by now should have updated
their software to use the new servers.
for the end-of-life notification, and please contact your developer if
you need instructions on how to switch your grabber / update your
software to use the new API.
Is there an update available or is this message in error? Thanks for your help.
I'm working on setting up a new recording PC and will retire the old unit into a playback only function. As I had the chance to have NPVR up on both units simultaneously, I noticed the EPG on the old PC hadn't been updated. The last day of program guide visible is the same as when I started the project about a week ago. So, at this point, i have only 5 days of EPG visible. I've tried numerous manual EPG updates, including empty and update. My SD account is active and working fine on the new PC. Can someone take a look at my logs and tell me what might have gone wrong?
Seems like after this error my system went dead (I could not access it remote or direct...but was running) and had to power-off and back on.... It appears the recording ran for 15min or so then it stopped logging as well.... but nrecord.log was done after this error.

Since building a new htpc I have not been able to connect to it using NEWA or the gadget. The strange thing is that I don't see a Web.log in the logs directory. I have downloaded the latest installer, copied database and config file from the old installation where it worked and even copied the whole .\web directory from my testrig where newa works just fine, but no joy. Am I missing something very basic here??
I'm currently playing with a very cheap windows 8.1 tablet (Linx 7 - Amazon.co.uk £59.99) as a NPVR client. Currently connected to the TV via a micro HDMi cable with a HP MCE remote receiver on the USB port via the included USB OTG dongle. Connectivity is currently via WiFi.
Performance so far is very good with only a slight delay loading the EPG to show its running on such low end hardware and it looks like this will make a very nice bedroom client as it is completely silent.
The only remaining challenges are to find a way to charge the tablet whilst using the USB port (which is also used to charge the tablet) - have a four Port OTG charge cable on order from eBay and may play with a USB-Ethernet adapter as well to improve throughput (mainly for Plex HD streams).
