Is there a way to integrate channels from FilmOn to NextPVR?
Would be easier to handle Kodi PVR addon if all the channels would come from same backend.
I noticed tha NEXTPVR does not check for the home paths of the recordings before deleting them from the DB. i had to reimport a full drive of recordings because it disconnected.
For example my archive path is.
U:\ArchiveU if that drive goes offline NEXTPVR will remove from the DB all recordings. I think the way it should work if NEXTPVR does not see the home path or drive at all it should not remove the recordings from the DB. Now if the home path exists and the recording does not then it should remove them from the DB. I know I can avoid that by setting <AutoRemoveMissingRecordings>true</AutoRemoveMissingRecordings> to false but that defeats the purpose of using KODI to view and delete files no longer needed as they will still be in the DB.
The other day I had over 70 recordings of one perticular show, now I have just over 40. When I look in the directory there are almost 100 .ts files.
If I try to import recordings, after I select the .xml file it shows and error stating I do not have xmltv.dtd file (cannot locate it in windows explorer either)
I installed 3.3.8 on Windows 7 and scanned 70+ channels. When I start it, the live file is written to C:\Temp (e.g. live-KPNX-HD-3053).
Unfortunately the Live TV option from the main menu simply shows a blank screen with the channel across the title bar (e.g. KPNX-HD).
Every time I try to install the NPVR I got the error below :
NRecord has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correcly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available
I'm not picking up any of the BBC HD channels, I'm using a stock Sky HD dish and quad LNB in Ireland, I'm getting CH4 HD and RT HD but none of the other HD channels, is anyone getting them ?, do I need to do some jiggerypokery ?
My problem is that every time I quit KODI it causes the NPVR recording service to stop/crash.
When I start my pc then start kodi then try to watch live tv it just buffers for a minute... then I have to minimize and restart the recording service which wouldn't be a big deal for some but i'm using this on an HTPC and almost never have my keyboard at hand.
Then, if I ever quit KODI it causes it to stop/crash... the icons are still in the tray but to make it work again in KODI or the NPVR gui I have to select restart recording service.
After quitting KODI a couple minutes ago I decided to check the Task Manager for the service and find that it is in the list "Stopped". I'm not sure why.
Thank you for your input!!!
oh yeah here's my log
EDIT** I'm just looking at the services window in Windows and see that there is an option to "Restart the Service" if it fails... I'm going to select this... But I'd still be interested to hear what is causing it.. (I'd rather fix the problem than just restart it all the time) --THANKS!
EDIT#2** After monitoring the task manager as I did this again I have narrowed down the problem to KODI start-up rather than shut down... When I quit KODI I am still able to start NPVR gui and start up live tv. But as soon as I start KODI again before I even navigate within KODI the recording service stops. thought it might help figure out the solution. (BTW automatic restart service thing in Windows is really slow).
I had NPVR working perfectly for about a week or so and was watching it today. I turned it off and left my computer running for about 2 hours while I went out... Came back home and tried to watch something and got audio but no video. I looked through the logs but i'm no expert...I've tried all the decoders that came with it and even installed ffdshow and tried that but all with the same result = no video... It was really great when it worked!!
I'll try to attach my log if it's the wrong log let me know!
Thanks!!!
EDIT** I should add that my Hauppauge Colossus is working when I try WinTV (the program that came with it)
Whenever I'm on the website and try to click on a scheduled recording name to view the details I get the following:
Server Error in '/' Application.

This is a problem that NPVR has always had, but seems to be a bit worse now.
When watching Live TV - either MPEG2 or H264 - when there are large blocks of Colour and Text (End of Shows, Adverts etc.) Sound stutters as playback bangs into the end of the file, which can be seen if you bring up the playback position bar. (-1 to 0 seconds on the left hand time)
If you go back in the file 30 seconds then forward 1 minute - i.e. to the end of the file - there is always a 4 to 3 second buffer left and it plays perfectly, as does recorded TV.
This is with the PDVD13 Video and Lav Audio Codecs with a 125ms audio delay to get lip sync.
Is there anyway to increase the Live TV buffer by a second or possibly two seconds to try and smooth out playback?
