Just bought the android app for my onn pro and I noticed it does nothing when I select a channel in the guide. It plays fine when I select the same channel in channels. I have tested this with a sofabaton u2 and an dtv ospray remote thanks

Hello, for the last 14 years we've been happily using Windows Media Center with a Ceton tuner and CableCARD. But the handwriting is on the wall for CableCARD: our cable provider, Verizon, is no longer offering new or replacement cards and I figure it's just a matter of time before they disable the cards that are out there and try to get us back onto their own boxes.

So I'm weighing our options. We really enjoy and make extensive use of the ability to record as much programming as we want and then to store it for as long as we choose instead of having an arbitrary expiration date on the recordings. I looked at DirecTV Stream and they advertise "unlimited DVR storage," but the recordings expire after nine months. (This past winter during the baseball off-season, I was watching games from spring training 2018.) On the other hand, Verizon FiOS recordings don't seem to get automatically deleted after some set period of time, but then the amount of storage in their boxes is tiny and it looks like there's no way to expand it.

Another idea is to ditch traditional cable-type TV and go all-online for both streaming shows and live and time-shifted TV. This is where NextPVR may come in handy for our situation. But the reading I've been doing around the Web, including on this forum here and here, doesn't sound very hopeful if we want to preserve the ability to record live national news and live national sports and then watch them on our own schedule.

A lot (most?) of the IPTV websites I've found look dubious and we want to use only solid, legit vendors. Is there a way somehow to set NextPVR to (for example) record next Sunday night's MLB game on ESPN that's showing on Hulu Live, YouTube TV, or Fubo? As a cost-free experiment, I opened an account with Pluto TV hoping to record Bloomberg News with NextPVR, but I couldn't find any way to do it.

So, would it be fair to say that we're being wildly unrealistic and need to lower our horizons?

Please be kind! I have experience on WMC, but NextPVR and IPTV are totally new to me.

Thanks for any tips or suggestions.

Would it be possible to resize the Channels setting grid columns?

Even on a large screen it is difficult to read with long entries.


Also would be possible to change the order of the data in the `Details` column
IE have `[# sources]` first and then the Freq or url

again this would make easy to ready when scanning down the list

Hello, i've been experimenting with NextPVR for some time now, i would like to remove the /buffer from my drive as this will cause themto die prematurely due to necessary strain.

How, here's my docker compose:


services:
  nextpvr:
    image: nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64:latest
    container_name: nextpvr
    restart: unless-stopped
    privileged: true # Necessario per accedere ai dispositivi DVB
    ports:
      - 8866:8866 # Porta per l'interfaccia web
      - 16891:16891 # Porta per l'accesso ai dispositivi remoti
    devices:
      - /dev/dvb:/dev/dvb # Passa i dispositivi DVB al container
    volumes:
      - /mnt/Applicazioni/NextPVRConfig:/config # Configurazione persistente
      - /mnt/VAULT/registrazioni:/recordings # Directory per le registrazioni
    tmpfs:
      - /bufferize=536870912 # 512MB in RAM per il buffer (in byte)
    environment:
      - PUID=568
      - PGID=568
      - TZ=Europe/Rome
networks: {}

As you can see i've used tmpfs for storing the /buffer directory and i've experimented both with 256MB and 512MB buffer sizes, and what i noticed is that after a while (this time gets longer as the buffer size is increased) the stream eventually locks up, as this didn't happen before this is cleary the buffer filling up with stuff and NextPVR not being able to "Garbage Collect" the buffer.

Is this a bug? Does NextPVR normaly empty out the buffer during playback or it justs fills up until the stream is interrupted ?

Hi,

Is there any way of increasing how many files are used for log retention? I am happy for the files to be bigger and/or there be more of them.

Today I found that a show did not seem to record properly. Unfortunately the logs are full of FFMPEG related log points (which I am happy to have) but the shear volume of them has meant any logs around when the show was recorded are gone.

The logs on my HDHomerun suggest that the recordings started and stopped at the correct time so something went wrong and I would like to work out what.

I know there are posts here about turning down the log level but I would rather capture DEBUG level and just have a bit more history.

Anyone know if there is something that could be done with the XML config, even if it was temporary whilst I investigate this issue.

I'm currently doing TiVO w/CableCARD & also Channels DVR w/CableCARD. I'm looking to replace Xfinity with DirecTV Streaming and it was suggested to me that I check here for assistance. I have multiple Osprey and considered using 4 of those w/HDMI Encoder for recording and Channels DVR. A user there mentioned that he felt NextPVR might be an easier to manage and maintain operation. I certainly don't know and just poking around I didn't find anything that appeared to be what I was told I'd find.

I'm certainly interested and I would prefer I believe DirecTV Streaming for a source if possible.

I'm certainly interested in any other options.

I'm interested in being rid of my CableCARD devices and moving to streaming that would give me 5.1 audio, recording w/com-skip etc.

Any thoughts? 

Thanks

Hi guys - I have been using Xstream (https://xtream-editor.com/en) as my EPG source with NextPVR for a few years without issue.  Recently they have requested users move to their new playlist (v3 Standard in my case) which I have done successfully.  However, using the new EPG URL they provide results in the following error in NextPVR when attempting a download via XMLTV.

Error loading listings from: https://someepg/someid The remote server returned an error: (406) Not Acceptable.] 

(I have used a dummy URL for security reasons)

If I navigate to the EPG URL in a browser I can download the guide.xml.gz file successfully.  

I have raised a support ticket with them as I'm not sure if this is their side or NextPVR.

Any help would be much appreciated.

but work fine using the client app so the file shound be ok
the play seem to start: the poster and the play controls are displayed but all is freeze in the nextvpr client web page.
I would like to play record from ipad and in Europe i must use browser because client app is not available.

Attacched the log. Thanks for any help

Hi Team,

Hoping you can help me  - im trying to stream nz IPTV from this url - https://i.mjh.nz/nz/raw-tv.m3u8

I'm running a Synology DS918+ and have NextPVR setup as a container.

It loads fine in NextPVR and discovers all channels but when going to stream through chrome, android app, apple app or emby it fails everytime for any channel, starts off 'starting device, then after 20 seconds or so comes back red 'streaming failed, transcoder exited'

If using this same url through my tivimate app or IPTV app (Android) for example it works absolutely flawlessly.

Appreciate any input to help me get this working please.

Have uploaded log if that helps.

I also have 2 other services i use through NextPVR and they work perfect, it just seems to be this NZ url that doesn't stream.

I'm racking my brains to figure this out if you can help.

Thanks.

Hi, I have an old HDHomeRun and a well-spec'ed Windows box.  When I view TV on using HDHomeRun's app it is just fine. When I view it or record it in NextPVR it is choppy as.  Australia so mostly MPEG-2 and 4.   I have tried lots of things.  Any Ideas?
