I upgraded to 3.3.8 on Friday night, and things seemed to be working. Tonight was the first night where we started up multiple Popcorn Hours, and things crashed around 8pm local time. I had a couple recordings scheduled to start at that same time, so I'm not sure what could have been the culprit. I can't get into npvr now - I get the window stating "Unable to Start Service". Could be the database I guess, since that's been in operation for a year...
Now that beta2 of Kodi is out I need to move my development setup to Kodi full time to avoid python bugs creeping in. So far it looks ok, but they have have last minute changes that I needed to have fixed before the release. This is my last version testing heavily on Gotham
2.4.6
- potential improvement so Web Client speed
- problem scrolling EPG - error in debug message in Standard Time.
- filter recording (unfortunately summary screen needs next version of NEWA)
- search criteria (cast needs next version of NEWA)
- subtitle, season/episode added to playback screens
- fixed pvr:// mode
- added touch gestures to web client.
I'd like to hear if you think Web Client is faster.
OK, I just discovered a strange problem with 3.3.8. I use an NMT almost exclusively for NPVR. This morning, I was going through my recordings list and discovered that the recording which was supposed to be CSI from last Sunday didn't contain CSI since CBS had postponed it due to a football game running late. So, I went to the TV Guide (the built-in one, not the TV Listings one which I don't use) to manually set that episode of CSI to record tonight. (The recurring recording wouldn't select it because NPVR thought it had already recorded this episode.)
That's where the strangeness began... The TV Guide didn't display ANY of the shows for tonight in red indicating that they were scheduled to be recorded! I went ahead and moved the selection to the CSI episode and then manually scheduled it to be recorded. I didn't use the normal Quick Record button on the remote like I usually do since I wanted to increase the post-padding to 60 minutes in case it was delayed. Then the guide on the NMT showed CSI in red, but still none of the other shows. I went to the pending recordings list, and they were listed there. Then I went back to the guide, and discovered that the red bar across the top of the timeline indicated scheduled recordings, but still the only individual show which was displayed in red was the manual recording of CSI.
So, next, I went to NPVR on the PC to see what it showed. It had all of the automatic recurring recordings in red, but not the manual CSI recording. (see screenshot) I then went to the pending recordings list on the PC and it definitely showed CSI as scheduled. (see screenshot) Very strange!
Then I went back to the TV Guide on the NMT to take a screen shot of what it was showing. And now, it is displaying the same thing as the PC--recurring recordings are showing as red, but the manual recording of CSI is not. At this point, I'm very confused! :-(
I've zipped and attached the logs directory. It should contain all of the server logs from this entire time. Unfortunately, I didn't have the NMT putty logging turned on, so I don't have the MVPMCX2 output.
I am quite new to NextPVR and HD TV tuner card and Live TV on XBMC HTPC. Couple of days back Installed Hauppauge 1250 card and installed NextPVR PVR on my Win7 HTPC. I am using Winegard Flatwave AMED internal HDTV antenna.
Every thing is working fine as expected with NextPVR PVR application. I can watch TV on my HTCP using NextPVR PVR. :
But when I try to watch Live TV using XBMC Frodo using NextPVR PVR addon getting "NextPVR PVR client Tuner not available error" Screen Shot attached.
I followed quick start guide on NextPVR PVR site also on lifehacker site on how to set up NextPVR PVR. but Luck
Any Help will be really appreciated. Of course I can with OTA Live TV using NextPvr by itself, but I don't want to swithc back and forth between XBMC and NextPVR.

I have been running a custom python script to parse / output an XMLTV file that I load into NPVR for TV listings (common free EPG grabbers often don't have my area and I don't want to pay a yearly fee for one). Everything was working fine until the time change last weekend. Now whenever I try to load my XMLTV listings it acts like everything is okay but if I check the log file it has literally thousands of lines saying:
2014-11-08 21:19:12.059 [ERROR][8] XMLTV EPG Reader - Unknown timezone: MDT
I checked the time zone on the Windows machine itself (in the registry and in the little time program on the start bar) and both say that the machine is in MST. The script I use to output the XMLTV file also accounts for daylight savings time changes and has the correct MST UTC offset (in numbers, not text). Running the validity checker provided by the XMLTV project on my XMLTV file says the only issue is with the channel IDs but that was never an issue in the past so that most likely isn't it. Typical programme entries in my XMLTV file look like:
<programme start="20141110180000 -0700" stop="20141110190000 -0700" channel="XXXXXX">
I have also tried rebooting the machine in question on the off chance that the NPVR setting never got updated after the time change.
Emptying the EPG and then updating it also did not solve the problem.
Attached is part of a log file demonstrating what I mean. It is also worth noting that I only have about 5 channels that I'm using the XMLTV listing for, despite the thousands of error messages in the log file.
Does anyone have any insights on this? I liked having the XMLTV guide as it gave more info about shows and it allowed me to get a variable time span of listings whereas the OTA listings don't always span 24 hours, making it hard to make sure programs scheduled for recording with auto-record feature.
I only installed NVPR yesterday so I am completely new to this. I am using a Tevion 6430 USB dongle type adapter which is recognised by Win 7 Pro as a Realtek. It works fine in Windows Media Center and picks up 127 TV and radio channels. NVPR sees the dongle and scanned OK for channels, picking up 115 and getting the EPG, including ITV, which Media Center doesn't get. Clicking Live TV brings up the error "unable to communicate with recording service". I did a search for the error but the only hit I understood was one about the Hosts file, which didn't make any difference. Where do I go from here? Hopefully the zipped log file is attached.
It's weird but the genre option disappeared :confused: so I tried running GenreLite again but it's giving the stopped working message again . I uninstalled it and reinstalled it from the zip you posted and it's still not working. Any ideas?
In the past when I want to schedule something manually, I make use of the command line 'schedule.exe'.
When I want to make use of a specific tuner at the same time and it was already been scheduled / occupied by something else, I received always a failed error message.
But recently when this situation happens, it accepts the added new schedule with the consequence of a scheduled conflict.
When I schedule with the help of the command line 'schedule.exe' a couple of times making use of exactly the same schedule definition, I see straight into the database multiple times the same record lines in table 'scheduled_recording'. Only the field 'oid' (of course) has a unique different number for each record line.
Has something been changed in the NPVR manual scheduling system recently?
