I have sometime to look at the addon and fix quite a few things as noted below in a PR I have submitted.  If anyone want to test this let me know.  Otherwise you will test after it is released which might not be the best time.

Recording changes
I. General

• reload recordings and reset modification time when a settings change impacts recordings
  
• delete recording channel json cache to allow for changes outside of Jellyfin. JF only calls for new recordings when the database entries are not cached
  
• use episode mode without S/E for all non movie recordings, Jellyfin was using the subtitle as title and not displaying the title on clips.
  
• parse duplicated S/E information from the sub-title passed in the API.
  
• change cache key, add-on was using a key that changed often, leaving orphan JSON in the cache for every recording
  

• don't poll for recording until connected
  
• reduce initial connection time to 5 seconds to avoid overlapping connection attempts
  
• allow configuration of polling interval, the more frequent the more responsive the addon is to changes outside Jellyfin
  
• catch connection errors in the plugin, don't throw errors to core.
  

• default in-progress to direct play.
  
• append growing flag to recordings to not send content-length.
  

• don't know what to do to make this work.
  

• cannot change the analyzeduration so ffprobe waits for 200MB before playback
  
• if users give up, ffmpeg orphan ffmpeg tasks could be left running.
  
• don't know what to do to make this work.
  

• configure IPv4 so ffmpeg doesn't use IPv6 when a hostname is specified
  
• adapt to NextPVR unauthenticated access fix starting in 6.1.6
  
• allow unauthenticated recording streaming so clients can direct play. Jellyfin does not proxy client so security was failing and only transcoded play was available.
  

Hello,

I have my NextPVR server running and playing with the Jellyfin client plugin.
The artwork taken from the EPG seems to work fine in nextpvr but it is not showing at the Jellyfin client, whereas the rest of information from the EPG is showing fine.

Am I missing something? Is this not implemented on the plugin side?

In addition, I can filter programs by Movies, Sports, etc. Is there a way of selecting which folder nextpvr will record to based on those filters?

Thanks,
M

Hi!

I am using LibreELEC (official): 12.0.0 (RPi5.aarch64) with next-pvr service (Version: 6.1.5.231022) and next-pvr client (Version: 21.1.0.1) all on LE.
I am using IPTV playlist with multicast addresses and I have an issue that live stream is not working while recording. When I cancel recording than live stream is working.

When I click on live stream channel while recording I get instant message Playback failed: One or more items failed to play. Check the log for more infromation about this message.

I checked logs and in logs there is an error:

Code:

2024-06-04 15:45:33.592    [ERROR][236]    Unable to StartStream():
2024-06-04 15:45:33.592    [ERROR][236]    Unable to start live stream for timeshift: Unable to find available capture device
<rsp stat="fail">
  <err code="11" msg="Failed to start stream: Unable to find available capture device" />
</rsp>

Is there any limit for only one stream at a time or what am I missing?

I also tried messing with npvr.db3 and add a few more IPTV devices but without success still the same error. Does anybody have any hint what can I check to force kodi using more than one stream at a time?

Thanks in advanced,
regards Peter

Dear all,

I could swear that this worked, but at the moment, when I record something e.g. 90 minutes long in order
to start watching it 15 minutes shifted, the playback will be interrupted after when playback reaches the
hypothetical end of the file at the time of start of playback (in this example 15 minutes). Then, when I 
playback again (there is the option to restart at the playback break), it will run again until the hypothetical 
end (in this example roughly 30 minutes).

Do I mix up with tvheadend, which I used before or did that work in the past with NextPVR? 

BR,
Carsten.

Hi, Support,

I am trying a new install/config of NextPVR version 6.1.5.231022 on Windows 11, and trying to set up the IPTV Device to use my IPTV provider data.  Everything seems to go OK (channels load properly, EPG updates properly, etc.) but when I try to view streams on the server and the supplied client, all I can get is the error Streaming failed. (transcoder exiting).  I have tried to do all of the more obvious configuration settings (implemented and activated LAV decoders, etc.) but nothing seems to work for me.  Would you take a quick look at my log files, and see if you can give me some guidance on how to correct this error?  Thanks in advance for your prompt response to my request.   lm32692

Currently I have these two remotes up & running

https://www.amazon.com/BuzzTV-ARQ-100-Wi...40&sr=8-44

https://www.amazon.com/Dupad-MX3-Wireles...DYV2/?th=1

(the second one isn't really in contention as the keys are on the small side & a bit too close together to be easy to use) but it does have the four skip buttons as the first one only has two of them.

Firstly I am trying to figure out what should work in uidroid as I have some combinations that I use daily & have used for close to 20 years that I can't seem to use currently.

On the wiki in recordings it says "Skip xx minutes/seconds" "Number +", Number + what?

Secondly is it possible to page a screen at a time sideways in the TV Guide?
There are a number of keys that page up & down but I can't find anything for sideways.

You (Martin that is) also mentioned somewhere that there is a way to customise keys, this could be useful for that first remote as it has lots of keys that are not being used currently & some like 'Guide' that don't do what they say.

Hey everybody,

Is there a particular upgrade path / moving configuration files, etc. possible from a pi4 running bullseye to a pi5 that runs mx23.3 which itself is called "a respin of Raspberry Pi OS with a MX setup and tool set "?

Is it a matter of copying certain configuration files, or is it better to do a clean install and then configure everything, adding schedulesdirect info, etc. ?

I don't see why it should be related to changing routers, but that is the timing of when NPVR stopped recording or playing live TV. I have 2 SD Homerun tuners and both are shown in NPVR status. The status also shows recording happening. But the result is a 0 byte file. When I try to play live TV it simply fails after a little while of trying.

BTW I can play live TV from either of the tuners using the HD Homerun interface on the same windows computer, so the problem appears to be on the NPVR end.

Thanks for looking.

Hello Martin,

Moving my question from Kodi to here on your suggestion. I can't figure out how to grab files from the Onn box but I've enabled every log I can and see no errors when the live tv goes through a buffer. NPVR logs from 4PM on WTOC are where I was most recently seeing the issue. Again, it's only on these Onn boxes that I experience it. I've tried wireless, wired with a FireTV network dongle. The PC and the Onn device are on the same switch, in the same room. 

 Howdy folks,

So while watching JEOPARDY MASTERS (which is now erased) at the 58 minute mark of playback, would have the android playback app completely stop. Running on a Fire Cube client. Tried to switch to same hardware but now a KODI client and getting failure of playback at same location (58 minutes) of a 60 minute recording. 

Otherwise everything works fine. I erased the faulty recordings so not sure that I have any error file to look at. 

1). Should I make a series of 70 minute recordings and see if playback works fine?  

2) should I try remapping the recording directory to a PLEX directory, and trying playing recordings with PLEX?  

3). Should I not FAST FORWARD to the end of a recording to play it, as that can cause playback issues ?  

Have read in other discussions that each of these suggestions have been speculated on.
