I've recently upgraded my OpenELEC Pi to Kodi Helix (OpenELEC 5.0) and I'm receiving an issue watching TV through the NextPVR addon.

When selecting a channel I get the "NextPVR Client tuner not available" message pops up several times (about 3) before a 0% buffering box pops up in the top right had corner (I'm using Confluence. All worked fine previously on XBMC Gotham.

The Channels and EPG populates fine while recordings update and play without issue. I have a XBMCBuntu and Windows 7 install of Helix and NextPVR, with the exact same settings, is working without issues

My log is available at http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=386277

Many thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.

Hi there.

I've been using the NextPVR plugin on XBMC for a while and have been happily clicking on the "Recordings" option to refresh my list of TV shows after recording completion. However, after upgrading to the latest version of Kodi (14.0), that no longer works. Nothing happens when you click on the "Recordings" option. The only way to refresh the recordings list is to restart Kodi. I tried sub's patch from http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php...plus-patch but it made no difference. Is anyone else seeing this issue and found a way to fix it?

I'm running Kodi on a Win7 box and using the NextPVR 3.3.8 and the plugin v1.9.17 (tried with and without sub's above mentioned patch).

Really lovin' Npvr so far----its pretty amazing.

My (hopefully) last question concerns the channel list that appears when keyboard up or down keys are hit. If that's by accident and I don't want to change the channel there seems to be no way to cancel the OSD---I've not yet seen it time itself out.

Editing to include another observation is after a time my mouse cursor doesn't appear inside the Live TV window in either full screen or minimized (half screen ?) mode.

Any help or ideas?

When I try to view a digital channel in NPVR I get the "Unable to find capture device" error. Analog channels work fine. Analog and digital both work fine in WinTV 7. Attached are my logs, config file and image of my device setup page.

Here is my system: HTPC - Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, AMD Phenom II x4 3.20 GHz, 8.0 GB Ram, ATI Radeon HD 5570, Hauppauge HVR 2250

I use Cox cable for QAM and analog channels. The setup went well. Channels scanned properly for both.

I've read many of the other threads and somehow they don't really apply to this situation.

Thanks for any assistance,

Jeff

Hi, I will soon be receiving a second Hauppauge capture device, and will have two on the same computer.

My existing setup currently shares a single Hauppauge capture device - with NPVR (default use), or with its packaged ArcSoft Capture program (when NPVR is not scheduled to record).

When I add a second capture device, I plan on dedicating one capture device just to NPVR, and the other just to Arcsoft Capture. That way I don't have to plan my manual captures around NPVR's scheduled captures.

So basically I am wondering if the NPVR and Arcsoft Capture can simultaneously capture on one computer (a machine built around a 3GHz Duocore Wolfdale processor).
Any successes? Any horror stories? If I have to use a second computer I will, I don't care about logistics that much.

Thanks
Chris

P.S. I think that the only common thing on the computer would be the Hauppauge device manager in the system tray (lower right corner of screen in XP). This is the small program that allows you to assign the pushbutton on the HD-PVR2 to a program. I will have two different devices recognized here, but not assigned to start any programs if the button on the capture device ever gets pushed.

A friend who lives in Japan got this box recently and raved about it. Seeing that my Popcorn Hour is old and giving me problems, I bought one. While it doesn't work with NPVR, it is a nifty box that does everything else I want it to do. I rarely play NPVR live on my tv's anymore and since I use NPVR for recording TV only, this box plays back every file I've tried.
I'm not suggesting anyone purchase this unit, but I can say that Eric has been extremely supportive with answering questions.
It's yet another toy I enjoy playing with.

Am I understanding Npvr's function correctly in that unlike WMC it won't allow my PC to return to sleep mode once its been awakened to record something? It seems I need to allow Win Power Management to do that for me?

My end goal is minimizing the "on time" the recording computer runs in theory to extend its life. BTW this is a stand alone machine, not part of a network etc.

Not super important, but after finally going from GB-PVR to NPVR I wanted to update my sig-line on the forum and for some reason I don't seem to be able to. Maybe its a browser issue. I am using chrome.

Hi Guys,

After each automatic or manual EPG update all my scheduled Recordings are gone.

See attached the log files.

Next-PVR Version: 3.3.8
EPG Download tool: WebGrab Plus (3-party tool for downloading channel information)
EPG Source: XMLTV -> xmltv.xml (setting in Next-PVR)

Hopefully someone can help me.

Best regard, Hugo

Running Npvr on a Win 8.1 machine---recording is perfect so far. Live TV however is missing the MS decoder although ArcSoft and MainConcept MPEG-2 decoders are present.

How do I add or find the MS decoder and add it?


TIA
