Is it in some way possible to configure how much the transcoder buffers before starting the stream?

Hi!

I run multiple Chromecasts with Kodi and NextPVR, of course they all auto updated to Kodi 21 (sigh) and now the non-4k version seems to have issues playing back HD channels. Looks like they've done some work with general caching in Kodi but whatever I fiddle with the settings I just can not get smooth playback. Anyone else experiencing issues with the latest version? Only way I can get it to work is to use transcode but that gives a big delay when starting the channels (non configurable on the server?)

Hello All,

I think if I am right you are responsible for getting the imbedded CC enabled automatically in Kodi nightlies.

I just had to come here after updating and seeing it working. Thank you so much.

Is there still any hope that if there are two subtitle streams it will default to the second one?

Hi all, been using NextPVR for a few months and things have been going well.  Recently I've started to have an issue where more times than not a recording becomes corrupted after a certain point.  Typically I watch recordings thru plex and they are usually ok.

Logs attached, example recordings starting @ 19:00.  Around 20:51 something seems to happen and I'm not sure exactly what.  Both recordings end up unplayable for me after about that time.  Recordings are fine up until then.  It doesn't usually solve the issue but I tried the fancy NextPVR UI client and they seemed to work.  Usually this isn't the case though.

Plex shows one recording as 17hr 31min and the other as 1d 2 hr.  So something is getting messed up somewhere and I'm looking to figure out how I can try to resolve.  I don't think the issue lies with NextPVR but I've tried about everything I can think of.  The recordings started less than 5 hours ago from the time of this post so there is no way they can have that length.  Only have about a year of docker exp under my belt so it's possible there is some sort of simple config issue that needs to be resolved.

Server: NextPVR running via docker on Unraid (12700k, 32gb RAM, 1TB ssd cache).  Happy to provide additional specs as needed.  Thanks in advance.

Hi Sub,

Looks like Sydney TV channels have changed the way they encode their EPG content (?)

I only have listings for NITV (SBS)

I’ve upgraded from ver 4.5.  (Was stable but some features didn’t work with Apple TV app)
I have 3 hauppauge usb pvr connected to 3 separate stb’s. I use one usbuirt to change all 3 stb’s channels separately.  Since the upgrade and  using the web interface, the usbuirt will change the channel on the correct stb, but the nextpvr switches on the incorrect pvr specifically after a reboot.  Is there any way to lock this usb port in to the correct tuner in a setting somewhere so I don’t have to reconfigure the usbuirt channel on the correct usbpvr every time after reboot?

I am testing out Kodi 21 / LibreElec 12 (Beta 2) on an Intel Linux server using the latest NPVR Kodi server plugin.

The EPG update process fails with (repeated several times):

This happens with a manual or a scheduled update.

I search the forum for an answer, but haven't found one (sorry if I missed it).

I use NextPVR (on Windows 10) with two tuners (one HDHR Prime and one HDHR Quatro).
To simplify my question, I'll focus on the HDHR Quatro only.

To set my system up (using the Web App) I do:
Settings -> Devices -> select a tuner -> Scan Channels (Guide: XMLTV file on my PC) -> Scan.
This yields 73 channels. I only want to keep 31 channels. Only these 31 channels are in my XMLTV file.

After this, I navigate to Channels (under Devices on the left) the EPG Source column says either:
XMLTV (for the channels I want to keep) or None (for the channels I don't want to keep).

Is there a simple "auto magic" way to delete all the channels with EPG Source = None?
If not, is there a way to accomplish the same goal in the Devices or another menu?

I do this manually today. It is tedious (especially with my HDHR Prime) which has hundreds of channels.
Just FYI, I have one XMLTV file with all the channels I want to keep for both tuners.

I have set up NextPVR using the plugin within Kodi21/LibreElec 12 (Beta2) which seems to be working well.  I now want to import some of my recordings into this system and turned to the NextTool utilty.  On the Wiki (yes I do read it) for Linux installations it says to extract the contents of NextTool.zip to /opt/nextpvr/system however this does not exist in this scenario.  Where should the zip file be extracted to please ?

Thanks

Setting up a new computer running Windows 11 with Colossus 2 capture card.  Would like to use my old 45 button Hauppauge remote
with the IR receiver.   Having some issues to learn the codes for my STB (Telus) but I have submitted that to Hauppauge support.

I searched on the forum for an updated irremote.ini but only found old posts.  Those old posts have links to an older wiki that is no
longer available.    Does anyone have that ini file or do you suggest I do this differently?

I was using LM Geston on my previous computer but it seems to be gone.
