Over the past couple of days I've been experiencing odd behavior on one Mux only (UK, Hemel Hempstead Transmitter, C50-706Mhz). Recordings complete correctly but will not play back (either on server or client), resulting in a black screen that returns back to the recordings screen after a few seconds. The file appears to be fine, running it through video editing programs shows the content as expected.

All channels on the same Multiplex are showing the same issue, the other three multiplexes available are working fine and as expected which seems to eliminate a codec issue (All multiplexes are Standard Definition MPEG2). I've tried with two different tuners and see the same problem. My TV is able to tune and display the channels in question as expected. I've attempted a re-tune in NextPvr and a full cold reboot plus checked the signal strength.

I've attached log files for a recording of a 17s second sample from one of the affected channels (started recording from EPG, then cancelled 17seconds later) and the resulting .ts file (4.5MB) can be found here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0lgyJW...sp=sharing

I'm at a bit of a loss and any help would be gratefully received!

Can someone point me to a DIY kit or ready-build antenna amplifier wich can deliver a constant output level independent of the input signal strength? The problem is that my cable provider delivers signal with varying gain so I have to adjust my amplifiers almost every day in order to get the correct signal level to my computer tuners. I' prefer a DIY kit/construction since electronics is my hobby and I'm capable of building such an amplifier myself given the construction details.

Before you ask, yes, I have searched the forums! After doing so, I realize my problem is not unique, but unfortunately I seem to be incapable of solving it on my own so am hoping someone on here can help!

Setup: Windows 7, HD Homerun through digital antenna, NPVR, (XBMC/Kodi - but problem starts even without loading XBMC)

No Audio and no Video in NPVR when I click "LIVE TV" (just see black screen). Live TV and EPG works fine from within the HD Homerun 'View" app. I can also view manually created .strm files from within XBMC, but when i try through "Live TV" I just get spinning circle.

I've added NRECORD.exe nextpvr.exe and NDigitalhost.exe to my firewall exceptions, and have tried with firewall completely disabled. I also have Avast firewall, but have tried with Avast completely disabled as well.

Log files are attached.

Any help you can provide would be most appreciated. Thanks!

I've done quite a bit of searching and attempted setups, and still have not found a viable front end for watching live tv on the fire stick. I have several claimed solutions, but none are really usable. I have 3 fire sticks powering various TVs throughout the house, and would like to avoid buying YAD (yet another device) for each TV if possible.

What do you have set up for a front end on a fire stick?
What settings do you use to minimize lag (EPG settings, etc)?
How can you diagnose problems to determine if they are wifi network or NPVR or device?

Thanks!

in the settings section of nextpvr, is there a way to search for the channel by name when renumbering them.... I have about 400 channels in teh list, but I have to scroll up and down to find the right one... the sort by name etc. when clicking table headers doesn't seem to do anything... a filter box to start typing channel name in would be really useful.... for me at least! ;-)

I was considering getting a TBSDTV quad tuner DVB-T2 card.
but their website only seems to mention S2 cards ... anyone know if they've stopped doing Terrestrial cards?

Is there an alternative quad T2 tuner anyone can recommend?

Cheers,
John

Hello,

Problem: HE-AAC is Disabled in Decoders.

Tried these fixes: Downloading various he-aac dlls and trying to register them with regsvr32. Installing various he-aac codecs but not showing up in npvr, even after reboot.

I tried to search this forum for he-aac, in various formations but I always got a No matches.

So where do I get such a codec from? I have search the web for days on end and getting nowhere.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

I have 2 Hauppauge 2250 for 4 tuners. When I record a show and watch live TV, the channel skips 2 ahead. It does it with the remote and using the page up key on the keyboard. Stop the recordings and the channels all work normally. So when a tuner is in use recording, the TV channel advances twice. Attached are the files with reader.txt..

I'm trying to setup my QNAP NAS with NPVR and I'm having issues.

If the "Recordings" folder or "Buffer Directory" is set to the local drive (SSD) the same as the software install - I can record OK. As soon as I point it to my share that I've created on the local machine that points to the NAS it appears to not be able to write to the NAS, any ideas on how to fix?

In another test when playing "Live TV" if the folders are set to c:\temp I get a black screen however the "Buffer" file is being created..

I hope someone can help.

Thanks.

VB,

I've just done a fresh install of Windows 8.1, installed the drivers for my Hauppauge 1229 WinTV-HVR-2255 via the provided DVD, installed NextPVR, installed the latest DirectX Runtime from Microsoft's website, and went to scan for channels in NextPVR for my tuner card. However, I am unable to find any channels when I perform a scan on any of the five devices listed.


I've provided my log files. Anyone know the problem? 8.1 shouldn't be the problem as even 7 wasn't detecting channels properly.
