Is it advisable to set the timeshift directory onto a NAS as opposed to an actual hard drive?
Reason being, I created a timeshift dataset and share on my NAS for timeshift data.
I have some recurring series configured.
What has happened is that NextPVR says it is currently recording, but when I try and jump in to watch the currently recording show, I get the unable to play stream error message, which is the same one I got when I did not have the timeshift folder configured correctly.
What seems to have happened, is that the TS file in the recording folder does not increment and stays at zero size.
When the recording is finished, the filesize is still zero.
I try deleting the file in NextPVR web interface of Kodi interface, and it does nothing.
Similarly, if I go to the recording folder and try manually deleting the relevant files, it gives errors of files in use.
I am guessing that configuring live TV timeshift location to the NAS was not a good thing to do?
How should I go about cleaning up the rogue recordings?
I have configured the timeshift folder back to a local drive, and things seem to be working fine again, with the exception of the couple of rogue recordings, which don't really seem to be there, as they are zero bytes in size.
Hi there. I have changed to some updated channel logos in the C:\Users\Public\NPVR-Data\media\channels path. These show up in the webclient, and nextpvr.exe windows client, but do not show on the UIdroid client which is clinging onto the old logos. How do i tell UIdroid to refresh logos? I have tried clearing data, reinstalling, and briefly looking for a cache file in the android system, but have been unable to find one. any help appreciated.
Edit: Should add
NextPVR Version: 6.1.4.230625
UIdroid version 1.7.22
I was a happy user of a pretty old Kodi on OSMC (Vero 4k+)
NextPVR running on Debian with an HD Homerun
All LAN wired with gigabit
Kodi 18.9 OSMC Linux with add-on 3.3.21 > Smooth NextPVR with timeshift
Kodi 19.4 Windows with add-on 19.0.6 > Smooth NextPVR with timeshift
Now on another Vero 4K+ I upgraded to Kodi 20.1
Using add-on 20.4.1 things are quite bad
TV is going in slow motion and audio is off sync
Opening a stream takes 10 seconds (was 2)
Switching between real-time and timeshift doesn't help
It's missing dependencie inputstream.ffmpegdirect
And I do not know how to correct that
Is there a ZIP available for Linux with add-on 19 ?
I got a new Apple TV 4k today and installed the NexPVR app on it. Setup was easy, but I've come up against a strange problem.
My DVBV-T channels on an ancient Hauppauge WinTV HVR 1900 play fine, but any DVB-S Freesat channels on the Mystique SaTiX-S2 card just give a blank screen and no sound. Using the web client or the desktop app works fine.
So, after a while of using NextPVR now, I'm somewhat struggling to really make use of it. This may be an issue that I'm coming from mythtv and have some (wrong) expectations set by that. However, here's my issue:
We frequently miss shows that we'd want to watch because we forget to schedule a recording for each of them all the time. I can't find a way to allow scheduling recording being more flexible. All I can see is to set a schedule on a particular title in the guide, or set a timer by date and time. Both of them may be recurring, but that's not really that useful.
As an example, let's look at Formula 1. Assuming I'd want to record every race, I can't figure out how to set up a rule that would do that. Doing that by timer is not really an option because while it happens (usually) on a biweekly basis, the actual time differs for every race given it's a live event presented at the local time of the location it happens. Also the biweekly basis isn't set. A special holiday may skip a week and so on... Also I can't schedule it by title, because the title changes for every race too. One is "Formula 1: Grand Prix of Hockenheim", the next one is "Formula 1: Grand Prix of Melbourne". I can't see a way to schedule a rule by "Formula 1: *" for instance.
Now the F1 is really just an example, I am not actually interested in that, but the same applies to many many other shows. Like the german "Tatort" has exactly the same issue. It's "Tatort: Bla bla", varying the title for every week, just as another example.
Maybe I'm just missing something and this is possible? But I couldn't find anything neither in the Kodi frontend nor the NextPVR web interface.
I'm getting a few bad recordings at random on my more difficult channels. And i want to rule out if it's one of my 3 USB Hauppauge 955Q - Is there a place in the UI where I can see which USB tuner is giving me problems? I'll attach a log - if that will help. The problem channel tends to be 22.3 NHKWorld
Thanks!
(right now i have one non-955Q, which i think is doing great! the 855Qs seem to be labelled Cx23100, i have two of them in now - as per the log)
All was working fine, then last night ABC & CBS stopped playing and recordings have failed. I just get a black screen when I try to play from Live TV, the TV Guide or a recording. All other channels are fine. Do I need to rescan all the channels, or is there a way to pull in a new signal for just those 2? How would I do either of those things? Thank you for any help!
I have a new Windows installation and I can't run nlite. It start up alright but when I play a file I get a message the dependencies for Unmanaged.dll are not met. What needs to be installed other than LAV32?
Code:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Unmanaged.dll' or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found.
File name: 'Unmanaged.dll'

I hope this is the right spot for this type of question.
I am getting ready to set up multiple instances on Kodi 20.
my question is how does Kodi handle different instances in different time zones when it comes to the guide?
What I mean is I have one instance of NextPVR running on a server in central time zone and using the guide data from the antenna
and want another server at a relatives house running in mountain time zone using antenna data..... they are several states away and have way more OTA channels.
Through Kodi I have noticed through testing at my location and 2 servers that Kodi melds the 2 together with no issues but what will happen to the guide when I take the second server to
my relatives and run channel scans and use a mountain time zoned computer.
Can i just cheat the computers time to compensate?
