I'm working with a web-based IPTV .m3u list.
The name of the list remains constant, but the tokens change frequently, so it needs to be updated every hour.
(the list was designed to be used with a player like Televizo)

I have no problem importing the list as a IPTV device, but after a few hours it stops working.
I don't think there's any way NPVR can handle this?

installed Hauppauge WinTV-quadHD card and WinTV10 software - everything works fine with wintv10 software.
When I installed NextPVR it does not see my tuners.  log file attached.

Hi.  I have a Windows 11 computer running NextPVR v4 (for some reason, v5 wouldn't set up properly) with a Ceton InfinitiTV 6 card. Everything was working fine up until a couple of days ago, but now NextPVR won't record anything.  When I go to Show Status, it says it's recording on every channel, but nothing is being written to the disk.  I tried restarting the recording service.  That helped with this happened the other day, but now restarting the service and rebooting my computer don't seem to be helping.

When I go to the setting on my Ceton, everything looks like it's working.  Signals being receiving.  Signal strength okay, not great (I have a card in another computer that looks like it's working fine).  Looks like I'm getting a signal lock even though past recordings come up as "No errors, but no data delivered.  This is usually because the device failed to lock a signal".

Anyone have any ideas what the issue might be?  Feels like it's much more likely to be a software or Windows service issue than anything.

Thanks in advance for the help!!

Just been recommended to give NextPVR a try by someone on a subreddit following a discussion on IPTV recording. 

Followed the instructions on the website to download the client and all looks well however the install bar reaches full green and then has been like that for around 20-25 minutes, I've checked my program files directory and it appears to have installed files however I'm not sure if it's hanging/still doing something - is this a typical experience? I've downloaded and installed something else in the meantime and it resolved instantly, so I don't think it's a network connection issue. 

when I played that channel I received the error 'Streaming Failed (transcoder exited)'
I installed potplayer and scaned channels
it worked without problem

can you check this part of log. I attached log files

hi new to nextpvr .. how do I set favorites ?   tried everything and don't see an icon for it.

thx
bob

I was messing around in the C:\Users\public\NPVR-data\scripts folder, basically trying to make the postloadEPG script to copy pluto-xmltv.xml to a git folder and then run a commit, thus uploading my xmltv files to my github site so they can be accessed online.

Everything appeared to work fine until I went back to the NPVR admin page and clicked the "Update EPG" button. Clicking this button now does nothing except the page resets to the top. The same thing happens when I try to open the "Devices" and "Channels" pages.

Everything else on the admin site still works and I can watch the channels on kodi with no problems. It even seems to be updating the epg from my xmltv file, it's just those couple of pages that don't work and I now need them to change a few channels.

I've tried deleting everything in the scripts folder (except the plutotv folder) and restarting the service but the problem still persists, any ideas?

Got a Pi5 with Kodi and NextPVR going. Was tinkering with IPTV channels. Wanted to remove IPTV devices when done. Couldn't figure out how. Found the manual, it says to press CTRL for more options on these devices.

The option of pressing CTRL while in the Devices list does not show the Disable and Delete options when running Firefox 128.0 on the Pi5 standard OS.

It does on a windows machine pointing to that same nextpvr instance.

Perhaps add this to the list of bugs?

Thanks,

R.

I have both a STB with a Colossus2 and HVR-2250 that is connected to external antenna.

I am recording the same show at the same time using both devices.
The TS files from the antenna are about twice the size.

The recordings from the STB have the commerical skip jumping past at the correct spot using the client.
The external antenna recordings jump about 10 secs early and resume about 10 secs early.

I checked the comskip txt files using the comskipgui and it marked both of them in the correct spot.
I do see the frame rate in the TXT file for the STB is 5994 and 2997 for the antenna but don't see why that would matter.

I would prefer to record using the external antenna since it has two tuners and frees up the STB for other channels that are not local.
Let me know what files I should provide.

So, yeah, you read that right. I'll be brief because I'm really not doing well after this happened. I downloaded PVR today, discovered it, and was learning to configure it, created my login, and couldn't access the localhost web even though everything was active. After 30 minutes of adjusting the program on the laptop with the native PC version and still failing to log in with "admin"/"admin," I decided to uninstall to reset my settings. When I went to the uninstall section, it asked if I wanted to "uninstall the program only and leave the settings" or "uninstall everything." I clicked on uninstall everything, and that's when the PVR program incinerated ALL my 248GB of files on my SSD.

I'm devastated right now. I didn't lose useless files that you can just open Chrome and download again. No, I lost saved passwords + encrypted passwords/recovery passwords for other programs, I lost old photos, I lost videos in various formats - and probably if I try to recover them, many will be corrupted. I lost EVERYTHING, including memories and files that I never wanted to lose. If I could choose, I'd delete everything to save those specific files, which were basically half of the SSD. This new SSD served as a "backup" for my files. My computer is weak and old (my dad worked so hard to buy it, and it's the simplest computer with the lowest specs you can imagine), the computer's storage only has 30GB in total, and the SSD was saving me.

I know it seems stupid to use an SSD to store things and not lose them, but unfortunately, I don't have a computer with 1TB of storage, I don't have x1 or x3 1TB HDs for different parts and moments of my use, not even USB drives that can store so many files. That's it. I'm feeling really bad, I wrote too much, I'm shaking and my hands are cold. I don't know how this happened. I have no idea. My computer doesn't have a virus, there are no malicious programs installed, it was just when I tried to uninstall the program that this happened. It makes me really sad. I still don't know what to do, I don't know how to recover all these files without them getting corrupted, or how to proceed if there's not enough space to recover the really important files. Probably if I try to recover everything that was deleted on the SSD, there will be more than 600GB deleted, and I'm lost and worried that the SSD will fill up during the recovery and I will lose more data. I do not have another drive or external storage available at the moment.
