I am having an issue getting XmltvExtras working. Any help would be appreciated. Below is my setup and the issue.

I am running the latest stable build of NextPVR (3.3.8) on Windows 8.1.
My scripts folder (C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts) contains the following files
- PostProcessing.bat
- PostUpdateEPG.bat
- UpdateEPG.bat
- XmltvExtras.exe

I am calling mc2xml.exe in my UpdateEPG.bat file to pull down EPG data.
My EPG is in the following file: "C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts\EPG\TVGUIDE.xml"
The EPG and the script to pull it down seem to be working fine.

My PostUpdateEPG.bat file contains the following:
cd "C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Scripts"
XmltvExtras.exe>XmltvExtras.log

When my EPG updates the XmltvExtras.log file is created with the following message:
Error connecting to database: TV Listings database not found
Exiting.

I've noticed that when I go into the recordings section I don't get any art for the shows. A few searches showed me that this was an issue into September last year, but then the threads just end. Has this been resolved? If so any thoughts on why I wouldn't be getting them?

I did see that MediaBrowser does get art from NextPVR. So not sure if this is a limitation of the XBMC skin I'm using or the pvr addon.

Thanks

In the last couple of weeks I've had a fair number of shows fail to rename, all for the same reason. Here's a log from Castle last night:

I'm a newbie trying to install NextPVR on a Win7 64 machine with Ceton InfiniTV4 for digital cable access. The InfiniTV4 works fine with Windows Media Center but NextPVR shows no channels in device setup.

Here is my installation sequence:

NPVRSetup_3_3_8.exe
SageDCT 2.7.2
Run SageDCT, Discovery, Scan, and detected these devices:
[INDENT]Ceton InfiniTV Tuner 1 port 6970[/INDENT]
[INDENT]Ceton InfiniTV Tuner 2 port 6979[/INDENT]
[INDENT]Ceton InfiniTV Tuner 3 port 6975[/INDENT]
[INDENT]Ceton InfiniTV Tuner 4 port 6972[/INDENT]
[INDENT]Generate Assignment, save to DCD.txt[/INDENT]
Download NetworkRecorder.dll and saved to \Users\Public\NPVR\Plugins\NetworkRecorder
Stop NPVR service using Task Manager
Create NetworkRecorder.xml in \Users\Public\NPVR\Plugins\NetworkRecorder
Edit NetworkRecorder.xml to show four <PluginSettings>, one for each tuner
Start NPVR service
Run NextPVR
[INDENT]Settings..Devices shows four NetworkRecorder devices, all present, enabled, 0 channels[/INDENT]
[INDENT]Settings..Channels has no entries in table[/INDENT]
[INDENT]Click Update EPG. Get brief "Updating Recording Schedule", but table remains blank[/INDENT]
Set up account at SchedulesDirect.org, 7 day trial, select local cable lineup
Edit \Users\Public\NPVR\config.xml to add login info for SchedulesDirect:
[INDENT]<SchedulesDirectUsername>myusername</SchedulesDirectUsername>[/INDENT]
[INDENT]<SchedulesDirectPassword>mypassword</SchedulesDirectPassword>[/INDENT]
Many restarts, reboots, still unable to populate channels

The Read Before Posting FAQ says "For digital devices of all types, you MUST do a channel scan to find the channels", so I try this:

NextPVR...Settings...Devices
[INDENT] There is no "channel scan" button
double click on the first NetworkRecorder entry brings up ConfigurationForm dialog
click Import to display Import Channel List dialog
With source = XMLTV, OK gives nothing (c:\temp\TVGUIDE.xml does not exist)
Select source = Schedules Direct and click OK
[INDENT]This gives unhandled exception message - no visual style active
continue -- Lineup is Xed out[/INDENT][/INDENT]

Still no channels

Attachment npvr.zip contains the log and also the contents of the exception message.

What am I missing?

First off I want to say thanks for providing this great software and a place like this to get help with it. I have been running Nextpvr and gbpvr before that for years on an old P4 with a Wintv card for years and it has always worked well for me tuning analog cable to my tablets and htpc via XBMC. Well I have switched to thin clients as my main htpc's and am using one as the NextPVR server now as well. It has a mini pci-e slot in it so I bought a Avermedia A326 mini pci-e tuner card and installed it no problem. I tried testing out the serverwmc program I have read about and it worked but was painfully slow and I could not RDP into the thin client with it running so I went back to NextPVR like I should have done to start with. Well I have everything setup but NextPVR can not find the analog tuner for this card. I followed the steps listed here and I still can not get the analog tuner to come up in the devices list. I know I probably did something wrong along the way so I have come here to ask for help. Also it looks like the ATSC tuner is picking up a ton of channels that are just a black screen? I can tune my local stations in HD that my cable companies puts on the regular cable feed just fine with XBMC so I know NextPVR is working. Any help you guys can provide would be much appreciated.

Windows 7
Kodi Helix
Ceton IntiniTV 6 ETH
nextPVR

All
I have configured nextPVR to work with my Ceton device and it works fine in nextPVR..

I've set up Kodi to use the nextPVR backend
I can see the populated EGP and Channels but, when I try to watch something in channels, I only get :Buffering...0% 00:00 and that's as far as it goes.

Log is HERE

what do I need to do to set up a pvr service? I currently have hdhomerun set with xbmc and it works wonderfully to choose my channels and get it through there, but I'd prefer to have a pvr and live tv setup in xbmc so I can pause, rewind, and record. The i downloaded nextpvr and tried to set it up and it sees both my tuners (just a single antenna getting over-the-air here in US) but when i click setup device and scan for channels nothing is found. I tried mediaportal then because i thought maybe it was nextpvr, but the exact same problem occurred. I can get see the tuners, but not grab any channels. I went into hdhomerun setup and changed the application to either platform and hit apply but that seemed to make absolutely 0 difference. No channels found, ever. XBMC still works great, playing all the channels flawlessly. am I missing a step or something?

I posted this on the HDHomeRun support forum and it was suggested I ask here so I'm posting here as well in hopes of getting some help. I already have EPG and strms set up that xbmc uses, but I need a PVR backend so I can start recording things that I'd like to watch later but don't need to keep in my xbmc library.

I use

more < "%~1:metadata.xml" > "%~n1.xml"

to extract the metadata from recordings prior to cutting out the adds, but it won't use the extracted xml to re-import into Recordings therefore I would like to find out how to reinsert the previously extracted metadata into the edited ts file so I can easily re-import into Recordings through settings by using the ts option

When exiting a show after playing I get a black screen for upwards of a minute or two before I get the recordings menu back again. Also changing from ready Recordings to recurring recordings, etc also takes upwards of a minute or two. I do have a database of 2.7TB of video that is growing daily. Is there anything I can do to speed up the app?

I have just installed NPVR for the first time and keep getting the error message "unable to find available capture device" for live TV.

I am starting from a clean Windows install to which I add (in order) Chrome, SAF6, Avermedia Hybrid Volar Max driver, WinTV/SoftPVR and then install NPVR. During the installation it opens a CLI window that says it has completed but the window stays open and eventual generates a stack overflow. If I close the windows the NPVR installation continues, apparently successfully.

I then setup up folders, devices and decoders, nothing noteworthy here. I then select the guide, and double click on an FM radio station, all works OK. I then select a digital TV channel and I get the "unable to find available capture device".

If I look through the logs (attached) I think the clue is in the ndigitalhost log where it says:

2015-01-11 18:15:06.765 [DEBUG][5] Failed to start device: 0x800705aa

What does this mean?

Thanks
