Hello,
I have been having Nextpvr sort of crash lately. It will crash to the point it will display a black box half screen. I still get audio. I have to exit Nextpvr via task manger then reopen it. I have enclosed pics as well as the logs. I hope we can figure this out.
Thank you,
Bruce
I'm trying to recreate a "Recurring Recordings" list for my custom UI.
If I look at the recurring_recordings table in the DB, I can't see how I would get the channel_OID or the recording type info.
There are some channel_OIDs in the table, but not all. I don't see any recording type info.
I don't know what to cross reference this table with to get the missing data?
I have been using NextPVR for many years with comskip without issue until recently. For some reason when I record one particular program (Alarma TV), comskip does not find any commercials. If I record any other program on the same channel, (or any other channel for that matter) comskip works perfectly. It is just this one program. What makes it even more confusing is that the channel shows a 1 hour version of Alarma TV and a 1/2 hour version of Alarma TV daily, and comskip works properly on the 1/2 hour version but finds NO commercials on the 1 hour version of the same show.
I realize this is likely a comskip problem, however some of the messages in the log make me think it may have something to do with the recording from NextPVR.
I am attaching the log generated by comskip and NextPvr.
If someone could interpret them for me and give me some guidance how to correct this issue.
Thank you
Comskip version 0.82.012
NextPVR version 7.0.5.260307
Windows 11 Pro version 25H2 Build 26200.8328
I am playing with Prismcast, which is a plugin intended for Channels and Plex. It provides various means to interact with video delivered by various websites, such as one associated with one's cable provider. It also creates an emulation of a HDHomeRun tuner. Is there a way to get NextPVR to recognize the emulated tuner? It will scan for tuners and sees my physical ones, but not the emulated one.
Any chance of retrieving air dates of tv shows from online sources to be added to guide information so people know when a show was originally made.
Thanks.
Not sure what is going on, have 4 tuners on this system. Ignore the network drive P is unavailable messages (it's not attached currently)
I will reboot the server...

I have the Linux version of NextPVR v7 installed and working, but there are no files or folders in the /var/opt/nextpvr/scripts folder needed for Comskip where I think the file ParallelProcessing.sh should be installed.
Thanks to AI, I have step-by-step instructions from the Internet that I used to install Comskip with (using) my Linux Debian 12 Synaptic Package Manager. I have ATTACHED these instructions for others to use, and comment if they are flawed or inadequate. The Synaptic Package Manager did not throw any errors during the Comskip installation.
I was very careful to be sure all the required dependencies are installed before and after the installation. A sample of the dependencies I found installed on my system hard drive are:
/usr/bin/comskip
/usr/share/doc/comskip
/usr/share/doc/comskip/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/comskip/copyright
/usr/share/man/man1/comskip.1.gz
/var/cache/apt/archives/comskip_0.82.009+git20230112.d0cc422+ds.1-2_amd64.deb
/var/lib/dpkg/info/comskip.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/comskip.md5sums
/usr/bin/ionice
/usr/bin/nice
/usr/bin/renice
/usr/bin/snice
/opt/nextpvr/system/wwwroot/vendor/font-awesome/svgs/brands/docker.svg
/usr/share/gtksourceview-4/language-specs/docker.lang
/usr/share/nodejs/prismjs/components/prism-docker.js
/usr/share/nodejs/prismjs/components/prism-docker.min.js
Missing is the shell script ParallelProcessing.sh It is also missing in the Debian repository and I could not find it anywhere on the Internet. I think we need Parallel Processing, but since neither Comskip, nor NextPVR, nor I are installing it, how do we get Comskip running?
Also attached are my zipped Log files. Martin, I rebooted my computer this morning to try to reduce the size of the zipped Log files as you suggested, but their size increased to 4.0 MB.
My computers runs windows 10, last fully updated version
I did a full reinstall and tried to install the channels but nothing was found.
I noticed the tray application did not show being active when scanning
Then I noticed none of my devices (3 tuners) where shown in the tray application status window.
I removed everything npvr and reinstalled, same result.
The tuners do work with other SW and previously (last week) did work with an older npvr version
I can't see any problem in the log file (attached) so I have no clue what to do next.
Any help?
