I have an issue with a certain set of channels not recording/playing back with a timeout error, however they play fine with other applications. These are 4K channels and some of them do have HLG HDR enabled so I am not sure if that is an issue. I was just wondering if you had any idea what could be causing this.
I have included the logs to help

TIA

When viewing the guide and you select a program to see the information on the program, it would be great if on that part information on cast / actors could be displayed as often programs and films contain this information.

I encountered a problem the other day when I recorded a program that had an exclamation mark in its title.
The recording was fine, but my postprocess.bat didn't like it.

The folder and filenames looked like:
D:\NextPVR_recordings\Bushwacked!\Bushwacked!.S03E03.ext

but the batch file was reading the path as  
D:\NextPVR_recordings\Bushwacked.S03E03.ext and thought that  !\Bushwacked! was a variable.  Clearly it fell over from that point on.

I guess the fix is to copy %1 into a variable and go from there, but my code uses various forms of extended parameters %~dpnx throughout so I'd have to create multiple variables for each form used.
Just wondering if there is a setting somewhere that will force NextPVR to use "Windows_Friendly" characters in folder and filenames like the yt-dlp option :

though I still believe the bug i sin the NextPVR Jellyfin plugin, here are the data

"Unauthenticated Access" is ticked, thus why I am reporting. I still get 401.

I can tick/untick "Allow unauthenticated access for streaming Live TV / Recordings" even with a nextpvr container restart I get the same 401 error when I try to access when I attempt to play recordings.
Ie I posted on https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...568&page=3 and followed the thread.
However, I did not understand why "Unauthenticated access" was required since it was not ticked beforehand, and as far as I remember with Jellyfin 10.8 and Jellyfin NextPVR plugin 8 I could access the recordings. I even took care that the sid=jellyfin was indeed in the URL.
I had no NextPVR server or setting change for 7 months, since the last release.

I am using a hostname as NextPVR is another host docker. Both are on the same LAN. Same setup as the reporter on https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=65568 two boxes on the same LAN (but he might use IPs instead of hostnames).
Mind I am pretty confident this setup was working before the jellyfin upgrade to 10.9 (no nextpvr change) and I had "Unauthenticated Access" unticked until a few days ago when I tried the PR for jellyfin 10.9 and failed.

Hello,  wondering if it is possible to use  UI Droid from within Kodi app on Fire TV Cube 3rd gen.

I know I can launch android app from within the kodi gui itself, but am looking for a more elegant solution, where from the main Kodi interface, I could launch UI Droid, and then when finished, I end up back at the main Kodi interface.

Reason being, I have  micro-stutter issues when watching content from my STB on the Fire TV Cube 3rd gen.
(am told this particular device has serious firmware bug that is the root cause of the micro-stutter)

I already have UI Droid installed, and it' s playback engine does not exhibit the micro-stutter.
I love Kodi etc for movies and use Jellyfin intergration, and wonder if there is a method I can use UI Droid from within Kodi to replace Kodi's PVR addon functionality by just running UI droid on top, and then return back into Kodi app.

I guess it would be classed as some kind of kodi launcher addon?
Just wondered if anyone has suggestion how to accomplish the above.

Hi all,

Trying to deploy NextPVR on my docker machine, and getting the following, I've checked syntax and can't see any issues, any clues?

bob@docker:~$ docker run -d \
    --name nextpvr \
    --volume /opt/appdata/nextpvr/config:/config \
    --volume /opt/appdata/nextpvr/videos:/recordings \
    --volume /opt/appdata/nextpvr/videos:/buffer \
    --restart unless-stopped \
    --publish 16891:16891/udp \
    --publish 8866:8866 \
    nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64table
docker: invalid reference format.
See 'docker run --help'.
--volume: command not found

My user is in the docker group, I have many other containers installed and working fine, just this one refusing to work.

bob@docker:~$ id
uid=1000(bob) gid=1000(bob) groups=1000(bob),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),110(lxd),122(libvirt),999(docker)

Many thanks for any input.

Bob.

Is there any documentation regarding running two instances of nextpvrServer running on one server on different ports that have independent versions of NPVR-data folders or independent versions of npvr.db3? Majority of the sources are IPTV but the server does have a tuner card and I would like it shared across the 2 NextPVRServer instances if possible.

After converting my files to MPG, I am trying to clean the commercials already flagged by comskip. 

This is what is in my batch file:
"c:\program files (x86)\Miscellaneous\mencoder\mencoder" "%~dpn1.mpg" -edl "%~dpn1.edl" -oac copy -ovc copy -of mpeg -o "%~dpn1_clean.mpg"

The resulting file when I use the open file in NextPVR shows a total length of 26 hrs but should be close to 1 hr.
Is there something I should add to clean it up?

This is not strictly a NextPVR question but it is NextPVR related.

Currently I have NextPVR v3.82 (yeah a really really old version) running on an also really really old server feeding our NMT's

Because I am now mostly deaf I have the component out sound from the NMT feeding an analogue amplifier that feeds the base station for my wireless volume controlled headphones.
This works really well as the NMT is feeding the TV via hdmi & the volume on the TV doesn't affect the volume on my headphones, this allows the boss to change it as much as she likes without affecting me.

I am currently almost ready to move to v5-v6 NextPVR using a near new Win11 PC as the replacement server & feed the TV's via uidroid & Chrome Cast with Goole TV units (I have this mostly setup & working).

The issue being is how do I get separate sound with modern technology... I have a toslink cable for the sound out from the TV & an optical to analogue adaptor to feed my amplifier which 'should' get my headphones working but what do I need to get (that doesn't cost two arms & a leg) to get sound for the wife that she can change the volume on without affecting the volume for me as well??

I am quite willing to admit I am way behind technology wise on this sort of stuff these days.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
