I was using Mediaportal TVserver before and have recently switched to Nextpvr. I keep getting "NEXTPVR pvr client connection lost" on all my xbmc client machines except to local pc that NextPvr server is on.
I`ve tried everything, any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's the log files from NextPvr on the [/php]main pc and from XBMC on the remote pc.
Finally trying to move off my GBPVR to NPVR. The tuner that I am using seems to be seen but is not able to detect any channels when scanning. Works just fine in the Pinnacle TV Center Software. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
So I have installed XBMC with NextPVR as my Live TV backend and client. I am using a Hauppauge 2250 TV Tuner and I have my NTSC Analogue Cable attached to this card. I have successfully had NextPVR recognize the TV Tuner card as well as scan all channels. I have successfully configured NextPVR client in XBMC and I have successfully had NextPVR play a channel in XBMC.
What I have not had success with is having said channel play properly without buffering. Every channel I have tried has buffering every 5-10 seconds and each buffering lasts about 1-1.5 seconds. This makes this setup virtually useless to watch.
XBMC - v12 (Frodo build Jan 28 2013)
NextPVR - 2.6.2 (Server is installed on same machine as XBMC)
Tuner - Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250
RAM - 12 GB
OS - Windows 8 Pro x64
CPU - Intel Core i7 920
HDD - WD 150GB VelociRaptor
NIC - GigaBit
Video Card - ATI HD 5450
As a test I also tried using my HDHomeRun with NextPVR using OTA HD ATSC and in XBMC the buffering was still there.
Have you looked at plex channels? I'm assuming they're similar to xbmc plugins.
Since you can load the recordings into plex anyway and have them transcode I don't know if the full x-newa conversion would be necessary, but was thinking abuot it from a live tv perspective.
Is x-newa modular, ie teh nextpvr components in one class(es) and the xbmc drawing side in it's own?
I had a play with plex channels, but it's very hacky as I don't really know python...also not sure if you can tell the channel, oh btw the client can't handle this so transcode it via plex (rather than getting newa to do it).
.mode columns
.output "iglout.bat"
select '"C:\Program Files (x86)\nPVR\imageGrabLite" --nfo --zap2it --oid ', oid
from scheduled_recording
where status = 2
and filename not like '%.S%';
OK I opened notepad copied and saved it as iglall.sql
but how do i run it ?
Store that as iglall.sql (edit as necessary )and then run
sqlite3 npvr.db3 < igall.sql (what the hell does this bit mean)
Is it possible to delay the automatic EPG update? I disable data on my device during the night to save power/avoid notification noises, and always wake to an "update failed" message.
Put the platform update down this afternoon. Now notice the pch doesn't connect.
Gets the npvr menu option ( ie the index.html) , selecting that goes black screen. Like normal, but then a white line flashes up, the black screen returns for a few more seconds. Then pch drops back to pch menu.
So it is now really clear that this batch file is not being called, or is failing to execute correctly. This morning I got up and again had nothing in the epg for later in the day. My xml file was last udated a week ago when I last did it manually. I have now run UpdateEPG manually and it all worked okay.
Interestingly I have the update set for 4:am, this morning I was checking some recordings and all of the recordings due to be made at this time in the morning were listed as failed in the recordings plugin. This suggests that something is happening, but it certainly is not the epg updating! If I set a windows timer to run the EpgCollector collection then everything seems to be fine, so it is something to do with attempting to run this in the UpdateEPG file.
Using samsung bluray player with plex app.
It works pretty well but it would be nice if plex could use the description from nextpvr
I have no idea how or where the data is stored in nextpvr never really cared
For various reasons I've had the NextPVR process crash. However I can't get the web interface back up, mostly because the TCP port appears to be orphaned. Viewing TCPView and netstat in windows show that the port is 'Listening' but no process is attached to the port. I can telnet to the port but no response, just sits there open. Nothing in the logs, but my guess is that the TCP port isn't being properly released upon termination. I'd attach the logs, but there is nothing in them (and it's inconvenient to zip and attach right now), and the web.log doesn't appear to be updating when starting NRecord or NPVR. Is this a bug?
