I am running the latest KODIbuntu on an Intel NUC and have NextPVR 3.3.8 running on a server PC.

I noticed peaks in CPU activity of 100% of a core every 12 seconds or so on the server PC. Switching on debugging in NextPVR on the server I found the CPU activity correlates with the KODI NextPVR client calling GetRecordingsList for all recordings (and there are several thousand of them) every 12 seconds or so. This happens even when KODI is at the top level of its menus, not showing any extPVR content.

Is there a way of moderating this CPU and network activity?

NB otherwise this setup is working really well. The only other problem I have found is that I had to turn off use of VAAPI acceleration in KODI as it caused occasional crashes and reboots of KODI. Luckily although this uses a lot more CPU on the NUC it still runs HD video at full frame rate.

My new hdhomerun only finds a few channels when I do a channel scan, my other tuner finds them all. I've attached the logs from scanning with the hdhomerun. I should mention that our cable provider has changed a lot of things this month, so it might be related. The hdhomerunapp finds all my channels, so the hardware is working fine.
When I copy the channels from my other device to the hdhomerun device in nextpvr setup, I cannot watch the channels either.

Is there a way to have all the recordings in one folder instead of making one folder for each program that is recorded? Really like the setup with one folder for each program, but Kodi wont show the recording thumbnail for the folder (only for the recorded program) and that is annoying.

When I try to record a "Record Ones" to a different folder/Directory from Kodi it will still record to the Default directory. But if I record a "Record Season" it will record to the directory I have chosen. Has anyone else got that problem?

New forum member so point me to the right thread is this has been answered already a thousand times.

As a long time Beyond TV user I could really use the ability compress the video files down for long term archiving. BTV would do that quite well, and automatically, using (in my case) the DIVX codec.

I'm not seeing anything in NextPVR for such a feature.

Thanks!

Hi All,
As a long time user of NextPVR, I was horrified to learn that Time Warner Cable in Raleigh, NC (USA) is about to switch over to all digital cable signal with all subscribers requiring at least a DTA box for every TV set, which means the end of all analog channel signals. I just wanted to confirm what I already suspected, that this will be THE END of my home built DVR with Time Warner Cable as my provider. Also, if this is the case, anyone have any suggestions of what TV service (satellite, ATT Uverse, etc) I might be able to switch to so that I might be able to continue to use my NextPVR machine to continue recording TV shows? I have 2 Hauppage HVR1600's installed in each of 2 separate DVR machines and I suspect that they won't work with any TV service. I am certainly amenable and capable of switching to other tuner cards for other services, if anyone has any suggestions. I am so sad...

Good day to all:

Just getting my feet wet with NextPVR having been a long time Beyond TV user. The switch to Qam and M-cards is forcing me to move on and this program looks intriguing... if I can just get it to run

Running on Windows 7 Pro. Using a Hauppauge DRC-2650 dual tuner box with M-Card from the cable company. Channels come up find using either Media Center or Hauppauge WinTV 8 so I know the box/card combo is working.

When I try to run PVR no channels show up. Under the Device tab all I see is IPTV Device. No indication it is seeing the DCR-2650 at all. I have the DirectX runtime installed as well as all other software mentioned in the initial support post.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help!

Hi all,

Would appreciate some help.

Cox reordered the lineup again (just to mess with me), so I had to do the old route again. Delete the current channels and empty the EPG. Rescan, and remap manually using XMLTV, reload EPG. I completed this task (not fun), but have the process down pat after a while. But now, for some reason, no EPG data is showing up -- except for one channel. Interestingly this one channel was one who's settings for some reason didn't stick when doing the Bulk Update (XMLTV selection did not set and was on None). I went back and changed that --- but something must had gone wrong deeper than this.

If I empty EPG, Reload EPG --same issue. Restart recording service, or even reboot. Nothing seems to fix it. I did rebuild a new XMLTV file and looked at it....it seems good to me.

Any ideas?

BTW: All my new channels scanned are completely viewable without issues -- just no EPG data Logs attached

I'm getting this error "Read Error Object reference not set to an instance of an object." For "NRL Rugby" games it did work for a game before.
I'm wondering if it's trying to get something from the TVDB that doesn't exist? I don't actually need it to fetch metadata or images from TVDB at all... Actually all I need ImageGrabLite to do is to rename the games from "NRL Rugby ##########.ts" to "NRL Rugby Eels vs Rabbitohs.ts" Using the "--subtitle" command I had it working and it still works for other shows.

I have noticed that in the Plugins/Searchlite folder there is another folder called /Skips containing *******.skip files ... I'm just taking a stab in the dark here but could I manually make a NRL Rugby.skip file to make imagegrablite not search TVDB but still rename the games? Or is that totally unrelated?

I would test this before asking but it'll be another week until an NRL game is on and I'd like to have this fixed before then.

Thanks so much for your help!

***EDIT***

Looking at the C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Media\Shows\NRL Rugby.xml file and comparing it to other shows .xml files I noticed that <fanart> is pointing to a location online at TVRage.com. For the rest of my shows it points to a local file it had downloaded. The NRL Rugby.jpg file does exist in that folder. Could pointing <fanart> to the local file clear this up?

Not sure if this is feasible, but sometimes it would be nice to playback recordings at high speed (e.g. long sports when nothing much is happening), and then slow motion in other cases. I can open the recordings in VLC when I want to do this, but VLC isn't the most pleasant software for a big TV so might be nice to add an option in NextPVR natively.
