Here's the first alpha release of X-NEWA prior to putting it out for auto distribution.

2.4.4~alpha
- save primary and secondary sort
- didn't show advanced recurring rules
- start displaying Season/Episode
- parse filename for Season/Episode
- a couple of utf-8 changes
- pending recordings still used SOAP calls
- web client exits when server not available
- changes for upcoming NEWA
- other fixes

Sometimes I export all my recurring recordings schedule into the xml file, and after that I try to delete all entries in NextPVR so that I can import the xml file again. This is to start afresh.

But I encountered a problem with the keyboard shortcut. Look at the attached screenshot.

When I pressed the "delete" key, it doesn't delete the schedule. So I got to manually traverse to "cancel" and press Enter on it.

Is there a way to use the "delete" key so that it helps me delete all the entries faster? Thanks in advance.

Issue:
EPG and TV Listings are not showing Season and Episode data due to EPG Event table not being populated during an xmtv import.

By Manually altering the season and episode columns in the EPG_Event table within the npvr.db3 database I can confirm that Season and Episode data are shown within the EPG/TV Listings (as shown by attached snapshots).

I altered season and episode to be 7 (everything else shows 0) for X Factor Australia. You can notice (snapshot in attached zip file) that it now shows (Season 7, Episode 7).

All the main TV Stations in NZ (on freeview HD at least) supply season / episode data for their main popular programs. I’m not angling at using the season/episode data for prevention of duplicate recordings or anything (as some other posts mention) – I’m just aware when the season and episode fields are populated in the database, then they are displayed in the EPG. I would very much like this to happen, since its just a matter of getting the season and episode fields to be populated during import process.

Data output from the EPG Collector has the following present in the xmltv file...
<episode-num system="xmltv_ns">1 . 4 . 0/1</episode-num>

This however fails to be imported during the nightly EPG import of the xmltv files and does not populate the season and episode fields in the database. This may be by nPVR design?? or maybe something is tripping up the EPG Import process ?

Is this a matter of the output from the EPG collector being in the wrong format - in which case they may need to fix this (i have the valid season/episode option chosen) ... or does nPVR simply not import it?

I hope this is not a major one to rectify.
Thanks in Advance.

I'm not using the web interface any more just the standard(?) xnewa. All fine until I tried to schedule a recording. Hitting the save button, or just trying a quick record results in a pop up "an error occurred".
Trying to record a future doctor who just before 9.30. This is the most relevant thing I can see in the xbmc logs

1942 21:28:04 3048322816 ERROR ClearBlock: Trying to clear non existent block /storage/.xbmc/addons/script.xbmc.x-newa

PS the client in question is 192.168.8.6 I'm not entirely sure why there's calls from 192.168.8.4 in the npvr web logs.

I have just set up a Mag 250 IPTV stb / HDPVR2 GE Plus / Hauppauge WinTV / NPVR / WebGrab ++ EPG setup. I am now waiting for a Hauppauge blaster and remote to complete the setup (New option for the new GE Plus model as advised by Hauppauge). This is only for watching and recording TV channels.

I am currently in Cyprus and do not have OTA or cable or satellite (Not in English, anyway). Hence the Mag.

The Mag connects to a provider that sends over 300 channels – all SKY and all Freeview plus some US channels. It has HDMI output and a USB port that can be connected directly to an external HDD for recording live. But, this is what NPVR does and the Mag doesn’t give an on screen EPG for scheduling future recordings which is where I want to be.

All works OK - so far (1st day) - All the UK channels are available in the schedule and clicking on one starts and stops the recording as it should. Pic quality is fine.

However – and obviously – regardless of which EPG channel I click, it only records the channel that the Mag is sending because they all have to be mapped to the same input and NPVR sees only 1 channel.. This is not unexpected. Then, obviously, when a recording starts, it disconnects the other live channel that is being watched.

First option / solution is a second Mag box – and a third ... etc. but that requires a new sub each time ... will get expensive.

But - I see in the Wiki that digital signals can be handled so that NPVR can see all channels such that each channel can be mapped individually.

Does anyone have any experience with the Mag and maybe a suggestion as to how – if possible – I can see all 300 channels in the same way that digi signals can be seen. Maybe additional kit of some kind ??

Would really appreciate some lateral thinking ...

Thanks guys ...

I am having problems with some recurring recordings. I double click in the TV Guide and tell it to record all recordings on all channels or on this channel and when I look at the TV Guide it is not red. Sometimes if I go to the recurring recording list there will actually be two sets of recurring recordings for this show and still will not record. Quick record works fine. Examples of shows that I cannot seem to set up a recurring recording are NCIS: New Orleans, Mysteries of Laura and Burn Notice. Most recurring recordings work fine.
I use schedules Direct for the TV Guide

hello!
Just wondering if there's a setting to auto delete the live-xxxxxxxx files that appear in my c:\temp folder.
I'm guessing they remain there if something hasn't exited as it should have etc. Not really a problem, but over time it builds into quite a list, taking up space.

I guess I could just write a batch file to delete them and schedule it once a day - but...

THanks,
John

Hi,

I've just discovered NextPVR and thought I would use it to put an old(ish) laptop and a Pinnacle PCTV72e USB digital receiver to good use.

All goes well, in that all the channels I'd expect are scanned and found, and the EPG is populated for all. Most channels work fine (BBC, ITV, C4, etc), but I cannot get sound/video for some channels; in particular Dave and Pick.

Any thoughts on something I've done wrong/not configured?

Thanks,

I know this issue has been talked about repeatedly, but I've been using a workaround (restarting NextPVR on client) to solve the issue and I figure I would ask the question if anyone can see the problem.

Specs:
This issue happens across the LAN and http connections are not involved and there are no multiple clients involved.
3.2.9 on both client and server - no additional plugins anywhere
Win8 (server), Win7 (client)
Colossus fed with a Directv box via HDMI for both video and audio on server. The Directv box is set to always output at 720p (no native)
No firewalls anywhere

I launch the client and everything looks and works great for a while. After a while, the client will freeze and requires a restart of NPVR (on client) to get back in business. What I've noticed is that the freezes seem to occur during commercial breaks and rarely, if ever, during the show itself.

I have attached the NPVR log from the client and the Nrecord log from the server right after the freeze. In anticipation of recording the logs with the freeze I deleted all the log files before starting the process, so they should only reflect the start of NPVR, the client working and then the client freezing.

Add'l notes:
The network connection works flawlessly for remoting in (UltraVNC) and transferring/playing anything from the server, so I don't believe that is the cause.
Recordings them selves always seem to be flawless (I never watch live TV on the server, so I'm not sure if that works flawlessly or not)
