I am thinking of buying a Hauppauge HD PVR 2 and an HDMI stripper from Amazon to record from the Roku 3 using NextPVR. Would this work? I used GB-PVR for many years with my SD setup, and it worked great.
Had been using kodi with nextpvr, via tv menu in Kodi. So, I do tv -> channels, and pick a channel that only sometimes is in range. Used to be, if not working right now, ot would timeout with some message as the channel isn't working at that time. Now, it simply locks the machine, kodi locks, no keys do anything. Something not working with the timeout, which is set in Kodi to 10 seconds.
I did load the last Kodi version recentl, as opposed to the Beta eight before it. Had been working, ot sure if the last kodi 14 update broke something or not.
Im currently using ServerWMC as pvr with Emby/Kodi and it has a problem with not being able to manage back to back recordings using one tuner and i wonder if NPVR suffers from the same problem. Basically Lets say i have TVshow 1 at 7h30 that last 30mins and then TVshow 2 at 8h00.
TVShow 1 has a pre-padding 2min and a post-padding 0 min
TVShow 2 has a pre-padding 0min and a post-padding 2 min
WMC always ends up stopping TV show 1 1min or 2 after the show ends instead of right away which ends up putting the start of TVshow 2 at the end of TVshow 1 recording.
Would i expericence this problem if i swicth to NPVR. I was told on the Kodi Forum that this is a WMC problem and that nothing can be done since i only have 1 tunner and that i would need a second tuner to get around it. I use a HDPVR Colossus and i only have one set top box so i cant get a second tuner since i dont have a second box to plug it to.
I've searched the forum but found no answer that I understand. I was using MediaPortal with Frodo 12.3 and everything was working great, until my motherboard died. I put my OS hard drive in a new system, and everything except MediaPortal worked again. So I've had to start over with Kodi 14.2 and NPVR. Single Windows 7 system, not on a network, and a Hauppauge HVR-2210 TV tuner card.
I've setup and shared a recording folder in NPVR settings, but I see no options for time shifting. In Kodi Live TV the channels work correctly, but the pause, rewind, and fast forward buttons are greyed out. I'd like it to start recording whatever channel I'm watching on Kodi as soon as I switch to that channel, so that I can rewind back to when I started watching it, or pause, without having to manually record each channel. Is this possible with NPVR?
I've read on this forum people say to "uncheck the 'use live preview mode' setting in the config app", but I have no idea what app they're referring to. I don't see that option on NPVR, Kodi, or WinTV8. What am I missing?
Planning on revisiting my use of comskip. I've got the donator version so that's all good. But the cutting part of the equation seems to be the too hard basket for a lot of people.
There's talk of using videoredo - but as far as I can tell that doesn't have a command line interface and may require using a batch project file.
AVIDemux can do commercial cutting, but seems to need to do it graphically, and ffmpeg, the other logical choice looks like it needs to split each segment up then combine them back together.
Does anyone have something automated, that will chop up a video - doesn't necessarily need to convert it removing the ads based on some sort of cut file?
I know a lot of us moved on from doing this as skipping go so easy to use. I'm finding now using nextpvrweb on samsung, my own plex channel, and it's safer to not attempt any skipping at all as you get really unpredictable results. So would like to look at physically removing ads.
I'm green as far as this code stuff goes but I see that you can export the recording schedule and save it for importing back.
Question: There is no selection for what drive to save a given program to using the manual programming dialog. It all goes into the default drive. My problem is even using a 4TB drive I will fill that up in about 40 days. My needs are for long term storage for research purposes and I need to try and keep the HD versions for a couple of months. Ideally, I'd like to be able to assign a given TV network to a given drive by running two external drives on a PC.
So, is there a way to add a line in this .xml code to force NextPVR to use another drive for some shows and if so how can I do it?
Is there any chance of adding support for VideoPlus codes? Sometimes I see things in the TV guide in the newspaper and it would be nice to be able to set NextPVR to record them.
