Tonight I really stressed npvr's multi-record like I have the past few Tuesdays successfully with 3.2 using 3 ATSC tuners but had 2 issues tonight with 3.3. The recordings are:
CBS: 20:00-21:01 NCIS: New Orleans / 21:01-22:00 Person of Interest
ABC: 20:00-21:00 Marvel / 21:00-22:00 Forever
CW: 20:00-21:00 Supernatural
NBC 21:01 Chicago Fire
The most likely issue is NCIS: NO post padded 50s but POI didn't start recording until 52s in, missing a little over a second. POI should have been pre padded (a minute is set) and should have recorded the whole show.
The other issue, which may be logic, was Supernatural recorded 1m5s over and Chicago Fire started 7s late, although I don't know how much was missed. This hasn't been an issue before and the 21:01 start time may be different then usual. In these situations wouldn't it make sense to split the difference and post pad Supernatural 30s and prepad Chicago Fire 30s?
Thanks for the terrific program and the great support.
Ever since I received the email from Schedules Direct about the change in service, I have been monitoring this forum closely. It seemed remarkable how few issues came up with the release of version 3.3.8, so I did the upgrade today. Since nobody has reported my particular issue, I'm assuming that I'm doing something wrong with the upgrade.
I'm using the two-tuner HDHR3 with an outdoor antenna (ATSC). After the upgrade to 3.3.8, I had a number of different crashes, which I was able to get past - by first clearing-out the channels and restarting the computer, and then rescanning and restarting. That left all of the channels in Settings->Channels with an EPG value DVB/ATSC EPG. That seemed correct to me after having done a fresh scan.
But when I select a channel, click on "Details", and then select "Schedules Direct" for the EPG Source, I get this unhandled exception:
Code:
Value cannot be null.
Parameter name :s.
I suspect that there is some step I should be doing prior to this point, but I don't know what. The details of the exception follows:

I have a Philips 7130 card collecting dust. I would like to build a basic HTPC computer so my mom could record her shows (basic VCR-like recording, no need for EPG guide nor tv tuning: just being able to press "record" then "Stop"). Should I bother trying to make this card work? I searched the forum and the results are not encouraging.
I upgraded to 3.3.8 but it lost all my channels. I also get this SQL error message whenever I start NPVR, when I load device settings (and when each device loads), when I try (but fail) to add channels.
Any thoughts?
Minor update: I found this post http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...r-on-start but I'm using NPVR on just one machine, not a client-server.
This has probably been posted somewhere before, but I cannot seem to find it. I am a new NextPVR user. I gotta say - amazing app! I use OTA ATSC EPG for my TV since I don't have a cable service. When the EPG is updated, it only gets about 6-8 hours of programming, leaving me hanging until the next update time. I am using Windows 8.1 and would like to know if there is a better EPG (free) plugin/service that works for NextPVR really well, or a way to configure the EPG service to gather more TV programming data, or run more often than 1 per day?

After using Sheik Yerbouti's system yesterday I thought I'd post a few tips on streaming over the Internet.
First note that Internet streaming is not enabled by default. The following need to be changed to true
This provide access to the API
<AllowRemoteAPI>false</AllowRemoteAPI>
and this to live TV and recordings . You don't need this is you just want to manage and schedule recordings
<AllowRemoteStreaming>false</AllowRemoteStreaming>
Also the PIN has to be changed to something other than the default.
Other than setting up the home network to allow NEWA connections from the Internet that's it.
Playback will depend on you u/l bandwidth. Sheik's is a little too slow
First off I would like to say that I love the Next PVR software a top notch bit of kit. I have installed the package to multiple machines and it works flawlessly when working from its own tv card/tuner etc.
My problem is when i try to showcase the client/server function and i am not having much luck. I have read a few threads and guides which try to explain the issue however i never seem to get any success.
I have taken a screenshot of the server and client screens (device and settings) - see attached.
I have attached the error message i keep receiving when i attempt to connect.

I tried to install NextPVR as a new installation on my OS (Windows 8.1) after reinstalling my OS.
When running the installer, as some point I see an error in the command prompt box that shows the installation occurring. The message that shows is "Process is terminated due to StackoverflowException". Then a pop up box from Windows asks me to close the program.
However, the remaining installation runs on through and installs the program just fine and seems to work just fine overall within itself so no problems there.
The only problem I am running into in using the program is when I try to access it via XBMC. I get a "Tuner Not Available" error when I try to play something. The epg grid shows up just fine, it just won't play.
I can only find one log available since the reinstallation in the Public>NPVR>Logs folder that is title "Nrecord". It doesn't look like there are any errors in it. However, when I try to upload it to this post it won't let me. I have never had to upload any logs as NPVR has so far worked great for me.
Can someone tell me if that is the correct log and if not, where the correct one is? And then how to attach it to this post?
