Hi! I've been lurking for a while, using NPVR on and off for a couple of years and I was wondering what is needed to add official support for my country and most others in South America that also use this same standard (ISDB-Tb, the b referring to the modifications introduced by Brazil).
Right now, it almost works out of the box, I had to select Taiwan on my tuner to get the proper frequencies scanned, and not much more.
As this variant of ISDB-T uses H264 video + HE-AAC audio, I get no audio on NPVR while it works on XBMC. Also, from what I could figure, EPG is GMT timed, so all the info is off by (in my case) 3 hours. Finally, I'm no sure what encoding is present on the EPG data, but accented characters are wrong, looking at codepages on wikipedia it seems like it's using ISO6937 instead of ISO8859-1.
My tuner is a Mygica S870, it uses a Dibcom 8000 chip and I'm with the default BDA driver.
Please let me know what if any other info you need from me, I can post logs, freq tables and I could even set up a remotely accessible VM for you guys to work on.
I am new to NextPVR and have installed it on a win 7 machine with HDhomerun tuner. I installed a second win 7 machine and configured it as a client PC.
I can do everything from the client, except schedule a recording. It goes though the motions, but does not set the recording. However I can cancel a recording from the client. I have tried to disable the firewall on both machines without success.
We had discussed this issue in April and just never got back to it. I'm now needing this feature, and wish to pursue it further. I have 3.2.9 installed, and utilizing IPTV. It works well with one recording. But as soon as I try to start a second recording, I receive an error indicating that no tuners are available. I have had the impression that IPTV would utilize multirecord functionality to support more than one recording or live TV session. I have included a log file, but I find nothing in the log that would indicate that the second recording was even attempted. It appeared to me that the error was reported on some earlier validation criteria before it ever tried to attempt starting the recording.
The IPTV system utilizes the following format. It utilizes UDP, with a different Multicast IP address for each channel. The port number is the same for each channel, so thus channel 2 might be: 239.16.255.2:30120 and channel 4 would be: 239.16.255.4:30120
Any ideas on how to get IPTV to utilize multirecord?
I am new to NextPVR and this may have been answered already. I have a Hauppauge HVR-1600 ATSC/QAM combo card. I have used it for years with SageTV and have now been looking at NextPVR since SageTV is no longer around. I installed NextPVR and it detected my tuner card with the two tuners on it. The way I had it setup in SageTV was on the one tuner connector I would run the cable in directly from the wall and use clear QAM to configure the channels. The second connector I would connect to my cable box and use the IR blaster to change the channel and that tuner would be set to channel 3. I have installed NextPVR and was able to use the cable that was directly hooked up to the tuner and scan the channels and was able to configure that. The second device I would like to use the IR blaster to change the channel. I read all through the forums about going into the device settings and setting the irblaster.exe but I do not see this in my devices. Any help would be greatly appreciated. All I see in my devices is what listed below:
First Device
Device - Hauppauge WinTV 418 BDA Tuner
Type - QAM
Enabled - is checked
Common Interface - is grey out
Channels - Default Cable Frequencies
Second Device
Device - Hauppauge WinTV 418 BDA Tuner
Type - ATSC
Enabled - is checked
Common Interface - is grey out
Channels - Default Cable Frequencies
It does not have the area to select the program to change channels as I have read in other articles.
It'll be a server only, so needing to run the recorder (and client for configuration only). Expecting to access via plex or nextpvr client.
Tuner will be a hdhome run with recording across the network.
I'm thinking probably windows 7, but is there anthing that would run leaner. By lean I mean C Drive size and memory usage. This will be running as a VM.
I'm sorry - this is the most fundamental of questions!
I downloaded NextPVR from the web-site and followed the install instructions. Everything seemed to go well but - when it finished - I had no NextPVR on my machine.
I am sure I did something dumb but can you suggest what?
I hadn't really been intending to ever "release" the mods I've made to Confluence, but I decided to make a beta repo for my XBMC add-ons, and once I did that it was a pretty simple matter to create another for my skin mods. So here it is, Confluence Gotham Mods by pkscout (yes, I know - not horribly original).
The one thing in here I don't think you'll see anywhere else is some deep integration of NextPVR with the Gotham LiveTV section. If you are running NextPVR and install XNEWA (which is separate from the NextPVR pvr add on), you'll have some new options to use XNEWA to replace the default Gotham stuff for things like recordings, upcoming recordings (what XBMC calls timers), and epg. You'll also be able to enable links to the NextPVR recurring recording list and web client right in the LiveTV section. If you enable the Confluence skin in XNEWA, this creates a pretty seamless integration. Well, at least I think it does.
Since removing one of my two identical tuners (Hauppauge 5500, defective) DVB-EPG is not working properly anymore. As far as I can see, the EPG source is wrong. I have exported the channel list and imported it again, however, that didn't help. Do I need a full rescan?
My system is a Hauppauge Colossus box. Since upgrading to 3.2.9, I've been getting corrupted recordings after a week to 2 weeks.
I went away for 10 days so I've got a full week of corrupted recordings, and it looks like it started corrupting on the 21st on a topgear episode. It starts with audio, then each recording afterwards advances slightly further into choppy video and audio stuttering.
I've included the only log that goes back that far. I had a look, but I don't see any errors about recording faults.
Not sure how where to start looking on how to fix it.
When I was running the previous version (3.1? with the 2 patch packs), the computer would run for months at a time with out a restart.
Next time it happens, I'll try restarting NPVR / Recording service, and see if that cleans it up. Restarting the PC definitely fixes the corruption.
I can stick a corrupted recording on my server if some one wants to see or look into what it's doing to the .TS files.

This is really a two-part idea.
I am interested in what options may exist (or could) to import a simple two-field text file ("title" AND first four digits of "date") into NPVR (the first part of my idea). This may or may not work a bit along the lines of XmltvExtras, except that it would also indicate on NEWA whether or not I have already imported an entry for a movie (the second part of my idea).
In order to also be compatible with TV shows for other users, perhaps also allow for "subtitle".
I maintain a unique database using a separate application which contains all my movie info (from IMDB), and my idea here is that I could export entries for only the movies which I already have copies of, and then perhaps import that into NPVR somehow, so that when I am using NEWA to schedule my recordings I can get an icon or some form of indication wherever there is a positive match ("title" AND first four digits of "date").
I am thinking there would probably be a few misses here and there, but the likelihood of false positives would be low, so the ability to skip past any flagged entries would ultimately save me some time.
Right now I compare every single movie I am interested in recording against my database by flipping back and forth between NEWA (Firefox) and my database by hand. I store all my movies offline, hence the inability to use NPVR's internal DB as my master DB to catalog these things.
