I have been trying to resolve odd micro stutter when watching live TV.
My NextPVR environment has been running under Proxmox Windows 11 VM, and my recording location is my NAS.
My preferred client for playback is Kodi, and my preferred playback device is Fire TV Cube 3rd Gen.
I thought the random stutter might be caused by the performance of my NAS, so tried using a spare NVME drive as recording drive, and then postprocessing script to move the recordings to NAS, which has presented a new set of challenges.
Martin actually suggested that the NAS should be more than capable to recording up to 4 streams, and he was quite correct, and it recording to NVME has not resolved the odd micro stutter issue, which seems to occur when watching TV from STB channels inside Kodi.
I took his advice and started looking at network performance etc, and have not really found any issues.
(Completely messed up my network config while doing so, and had to reset all network adapters to get thigs working again)
I use TrueNAS, and found a an openSpeedTest that installs as server on the NAS, then clients connect it to it for tests.
It seems to indicate that the 2.5g connections from the clients are getting that speed, and writes to the NAS seem extremely fast.
The strange thing is that for the longest time, I was running under Windows 10, and never really encountered these issues until I migrated the system to Windows 11.
I wondered if Windows 10 is still the preferred OS for Windows running NextPVR?, or is it a case of either is fine.?
As I am running Windows VM, I have a fresh Windows 10 VM, so am going to install NextPVR from scratch, and make a comparison just for interest sake.
since yesterday, my four Tuners of the FritzBox Cable 6490 are gone.
Several restarts of the NextPVR- Server and of the Router I give up. Nothing happens, when clicking on "Rescan for Devices".
I tried another Software to verify, that the Router is not defective and with MediaPortal2- TV Server I can see all Tuners and I'm getting all Channels.
Im running the NextPVR- Server on Windows 10 in Version: 6.1.4.230625
FritzBox is running with FritzOS 7.57
I've been using XTeve and TVHeadend with my Emby server but have decided to give NextPVR a go to see if I can streamline the experience. Channel playback is working great, but the m3u export does not contain the group tags like TVHeadend and Xteve. I'm using the standard URL Http://127.0.0.1:8866/service?method=channel.m3u
I have the following running as a cronjob every 6 hours to refresh channels in an IPTV list. This works great for adding channels from the m3u file, but it doesn't edit the existing channels. I was hoping there was a way to have the script amend channel numbers and delete missing channels per the m3u?
On the web interface, I would like to have a display option that showed all of the current recordings... i.e., excluding the Pending recordings. I have recently upgraded from v4 and I miss the ability to tell at a glance which shows are available to watch. Now I have to open up the list of each show one at a time to find out what recordings are available, vs those that are "vaporware" at present. Just not nearly as friendly in that regard. Unless there is an option I'm overlooking somehow...
Have an old (2009~2012) Hauppauge WinTV-HVR4000 PCI card that support DVB-T, DVB-S and DVB-S2. It was working fine for NextPVR in my PC running Windows 11 Pro.
In Windows 11 Device Manager this card showed as "Hauppauge WinTV 88x DVB-T Hybird Tuner/Demod".
I have installed Ubuntu 20.04 HWE to replace the Windows 11 to the PC and followed the instructions from https://www.hauppauge.com/pages/support/...linux.html to setup the TV card for Ubuntu.
It looks like Ubuntu recognizes the TV card by cli:
$ dmesg | grep -i hauppauge
...
[ 4.360238] cx88xx: subsystem: 0070:6902, board: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR4000 DVB-S/S2/T/Hybrid [card=68,autodetected], frontend(s): 2
...
However when I run NextPVR > settingg > Devices It picked up 4 'unavailable' devices:
Currently the only way I have found to add to NextPVR is to unzip and rename rytecUK_SkyLive1 with file extension .xml and replace manually once a week in XMLTV channel lineup. It will not accept the source .xz direct.
Works well and populates 7 day epg guide.
Just wondering is there a way for NextPVR to use EPG direct from :
I recorded the Collage football game Iowa vs Iowa State today and watched it after the game was supposed to end. NextEnd said the game was concluded at 17:53 but the recording continued to 19:00. It seems like there was 60 min of postpadding but I'm pretty sure that I did not change it from the default and in the logs I didn't see any postpadding listed for that recording.
So, I'm baffled as to why the recording took so long to finish. Any ideas?
Firstly once again thank you to all those for making this great product. It has become a vital part of my infrastructure, however with all amazing products, there's always room for an amazing product to become even more amazing, hence my post.
I think it's far too easy to clear all the channels. I put a lot of effort into arranging, and organizing my playlist, and think it's far too easy to delete all channels, I would say should a person attempt to delete more than 5 channels, there should be an option to enter code which will allow confirmation.
Should I delete all my channels, as all my channels from from various VPS sources, I would need to once again sync the EPG sources to the channel, delete channels which don't work, all hours worth of work which isn't needed.
There needs to at least be a rollback option which allows deleted playlists to be retrieved.
