I'm thinking of adding another HDPVR onto my setup...currently one Colossus and one HDPVR. Are there any things I should look out for? I'm using my MCE remote for blasting so I will be using at least one of my Hauppauge IR blasters. From what I can recall, only the newest installed driver/device gets the IR blaster control.
having a problem with a couple of shows getting renamed by imagegrablite to include semicolons in the file name. These won't play on the NMT client. Biggest problem is the Tonight Show, which usually has a couple of ";"s in the name.
I recently updated to 3.3.8 and now I seem to have an issue where NRecord seems to die, I think it's mid day on Saturdays. I don't usually notice until I get back and I don't have shows or NPVR shows up like the attached picture (on a side now, NPVR still has to be reloaded for the newer guide information to show up)
I tried looking through the logs but I don't see the same information as a similar thread.
So from lots of post digging it seems that if you are using the PVR addon you can only watch a recording up until the point it was live when you started watching. Kodi will not handle growing HTTP streams. X-NEWA gets around this using SMB sharing. I was wondering if anyone knows
1) Is any work being done in Kodi to support growing HTTP streams? NPVR doesn't seem to be the only PVR addon impacted by this issue
2) Is there any possibility of adding SMB streaming as an option within the addon
3) Does anyone know if MediaBrowser has the same issues?
If neither of those have any support then it looks like I will want to get X-NEWA setup and working for the long term. I'm hoping that one of those two will be addressed though sooner rather than later. While I really appreciate the work going into X-NEWA it seems like this is a really basic/common use case that I'd hope could be supported more directly with the PVR addon.
Over the past few days I've noticed that when visiting the forum I'm often being redirected to a different site, either attempting to download a (now nonexistent) file from "http://filestore72.info/download.php?id=xxxxxxxx" or redirecting to a less than family friendly site.
I've reproduced the same issue on multiple PCs on different internet connections and also seen on an iPad.
Is anyone else seeing the same issue as it feels as if the forum may have been compromised?
I am using Kodi 14.1 with NextPVR plugin (cant see a version number on plugin). When I add a timer for a program I see a dialog box asking if I want to record. I click Yes then another dialog opens (I assume it is recording options) but it has 5 blank fields. I am using the Eminence skin but the same behaviour occurs with Black Glass Nova and Amber skins. How can I fix this?
I can't seem to be able to watch live TV through Kodi. The channels select but there is extreme buffering and stuttering (plays 5 seconds, buffers 5 seconds, plays 5 seconds, etc).
It works just fine through NextPVR itself, without any lag or buffering.
I've done the
<minvideocachelevel>40</minvideocachelevel>
<minaudiocachelevel>40</minaudiocachelevel>
recommended chances to avancedsettings.xml. This only increased the length of time it would play and buffer (increased both to about 20 seconds play, 20 seconds buffer)
I've replaced the NextPVR NShared.dll with the latest one I could find (size is 664,064 bytes), no change.
Enabling timeshifting in the Kodi-NextPVR plugin causes Kodi to hang when attempting to open a channel, giving a 'Tuner no longer available' error after a few minutes of trying. Partial Log file is provided below, full one attached.
Surprisingly, it also works without any trouble with X-NEWA but I find it to be a bit unwieldy.
As a side comment, when a new version of NShared.dll is released, incrementing the version number could be helpful for troubleshooting.
interesting part of the log:

20:33:33 T:836 NOTICE: AddOnLog: NextPVR PVR Client: Disabling recording update. Update NextPVR to v3.4
I've been noticing two shows have been periodically not recording properly and I finally went through the logs to see what was up.
In NEWA the error messages for the shows were either "Recording Error: Recording service was stopped during recording" or "Recording Error: Recording service not running at recording time".
It seems that around the time of the first show is nearly over (1:04AM) the EPG download (via SchedulesDirect) takes place but something causes NRecord to crash.
Going through NRecord.log I saw see this at the same time as the shows were recording:
Code:

at NShared.SchedulesDirectJSONEPGSource.ProcessChunk(List`1 channelsChunk, IEPGUpdateCallback callback)
at NShared.SchedulesDirectJSONEPGSource.UpdateEPG(IEPGUpdateCallback callback)
I also occasionally see:
Code:

I'm attaching the complete log file to this message as well.
Within the time range of this log file, the following show record failures occurred:
