Newbie here. I am trying to get the NextPVR Samsung App working on my SmartTV. I have the App loaded, I can see the TV Guide and Recordings, however, when I go to Watch LiveTV or Recordings I just get a Black screen.

I may be missing something in the setup and would appreciate some assistance.

Using my PC and this URL produce the same results. http://localhost:8866/touch3/client3.html

All other functionality with NextPVR is working fine.

Here is an error I see in the web.log:

2015-04-13 18:00:20.609 [ERROR][19] Unexpected error streaming channel: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine

hi
in installed npvr 3.3.8 and i use digital tv card... video is ok but no sound, why?
sry for bad english

HI there.
I don't know if this happens with manual recordings as well, but when I recorded 60 minutes last night via the TV guide module in the web interface, the recording suddenly cut out after an hour and a half.
Is there anything I can do to stop this happening? sometimes, TV programs over here run overtime.
I've set NextPVR to record a 3 hour test broadcast via the manual record option. I'm going to see if the video still cuts out when using the manual option as opposed to the tv guide.

Hello,

I am running a Colossus with 3.3.8 and i'm getting a lot of distortion in the video. I used to use the colossus a long time ago but switched to a HDHomeRun Prime. Now more and more of the channels are going DRM I am back to trying to get the colossus working for the DRM channels.

I get the distortion in the live stream when streaming to XBMC and in recordings (whether I view them through XBMC or VLC). I used the same card through MediaPortal and it works fine.

I saw another thread related to the colossus and 3.3.8 but that appeared to be more related to tuning channels (which seems to work fine for me).

Appreciate some suggestions.

Thanks

Cleaning out my office.

I've got a Popcorn hour, A100 version I think (based on photos on image search, PATA hard drive)

It's had a harddware hack to put a switch on the back to turn the hard drive (my old HDD was noisy, and so wanted to turn it off when not in use, while still using the gbpvr interface)
I'll have to see if I can find the remote & power supply (hopefully, that will not be an issue)

I'm getting bad stuttering after a day or so, but only on DVB-T. It affects both live tv and any recordings made while the issue is prevalent.

I've ruled out signal or codec issues, especially as a restart of the recording service instantly cures it. I then get rock solid live tv and recordings until the issue returns, usually 24-48 hours later. A restart of NPVR doesn't help. Channels coming through my Colossus aren't affected. I've also tried two totally different tuners, one a PCI and one an external USB, both different makes, and it made no difference.

In the logs you can see live tv starting at 2015-04-11 19:43:45 to 2015-04-11 21:24:18, that was stuttering badly.
I restarted NPVR to no avail, and then I restarted the recording service, and it was perfect.

I've also noticed that a lot of extra cpu use at idle during the issue, and that drops to next to nothing on the recording service restart.

Any help would be appreciated

Just realised that the heading should read "recording service restart cures it ...for a while"

How many of you are using the Picture-In-Picture function in NPVR?

If the number of channels is less than or equal to the maximum number of channels that can be displayed on the screen (7 or 8 channels or so), is there really any need for them to scroll? I would like channel 4 to stay at the top and channel 22 to stay at the bottom.

Thanks,

Is the 3.4.6 pre-release in closed beta or something?
First I got a message that I need to log in to view the link it, since all the hacking attempts, now, when I try to look at that link, it says I don't have access.

So, just wondering...

I am using the NextPVR in Finland with live TV, but it seems that when the show is named for example "Family Guy" the metadata will come ok, but if it's "Family Guy (7)", which is the age restriction the metadata will not be available. Almost all the shows in my country have the age restriction in the shows name. Is there a workaround for this issue?
