I'm having a plethora of issues getting the channel 106.1 WPVI-HD to stream and record properly on both the web client, and having issues with streaming on the desktop client of NextPVR.

I believe that the issue with the recording is occuring due to the web client not being able to transcode h264, as described in this post https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=62074 . Suggestions from this previous post indicated I need to use the desktop client and download the latest LAV audio transcoders.

I've downloaded and installed the LAV ver 0.78 transcoders and can now stream the video from channel 106.1 on the desktop client, but am not getting any audio. Other channels from my tuner are working normally and can be recorded without any problems on both the web and desktop clients. I've uploaded the most recent logs where I'm having issues with the audio with this channel.

Any suggestions on other troubleshooting and/or fixes I can try out to get this to work?

Thanks!

After years of a stable HTPC with NPVR and Windows 7, I decided to upgrade the software for my New Years Resolution. The upgrade to NPVR (6.1.5) went fairly smooth. My notes for installing NPVR from years ago were still relevant for this version. However, the one thing that I noticed while playing some of my music is that the UI for the Windows client does not display the song that is currently playing like it did in the old versions of NPVR. Did I miss a setting somewhere, or has that feature been removed, or is this a bug?

Thanks.

Hi all..

want to build a script to generate a dummy XPG xml for my own channels. 

Made a script with python, which successfully generated an EPG file, but NextPVR doesn't see any info.

If someone please is able to post a sample of what should work, and then I will tweak it to work with my content.

Thanks

I use Plex to watch TV shows recorded by NextPVR.  When done with the recordings, I will delete them via Plex.  This leaves behind orphaned metadata.  I wanted a routine to clean up the NextPVR recordings folder, delete orphaned NextPVR metadata and if that leaves an empty folder, delete the empty folder as well.   So, I asked AI to help me create a batch file to perform these duties.  I then set a task in Windows Task Scheduler to run this batch file daily.  Below is the batch file created with the help of AI.  Please note that you use this batch file AT YOUR OWN RISK.  Please backup your recordings folder before applying this process.  It WILL delete any files that do not have a related file with a .ts file extension.  If there is a .ts file, it will leave it and its associated metadata alone.  If you have any .mp4's for instance in the NextPVR recordings folder, they will also be deleted since they have no .ts file associated with them.  This script assumes that you use the NextPVR recordings folder only for NextPVR recordings with the .ts file extension.  Please replace the set command at the beginning to point to YOUR recordings folder.  What you see is mine as an example.  Do not put this batch file in the recordings folder itself for it will delete itself.  No warranty is implied, use at your own risk.  You can copy and paste into your favorite text editor.  Make the set command change to reflect your recordings folder and save as a batch (.bat) file.  Again, do NOT place the batch file in the recordings folder....

@echo off
set "folder_path=D:\Recorded TV\"

for /r "%folder_path%" %%F in (*) do (
    if "%%~xF" neq ".ts" (
        if not exist "%%~dpnF.ts" (
            del "%%F"
            echo Delete: "%%F"
        )
    )
)

for /d /r "%folder_path%" %%d in (*) do (
    dir /b "%%d" 2>nul | findstr "^" >nul || (
        rd "%%d"
        echo Deleted empty subfolder: "%%d"
    )
)

Twice now my guide downloaded lass than 2 weeks. Each time I went into the config file and found it was changed to download fewer days, so I corrected it. What could I be doing to cause this??

Just wondering if there has been a change to the way recording are deleted.
Noticed that when I now delete a recording some associated files are still left behind in the folder, looks like its a map file.
Previously I thought all files associated to that particular recording were deleted.

Attached is an initial build of the LG webOS app. It's a ui client app, which gives nextpvr.exe style interface directly from your TV. It's been tested on a GX, C8 and B7 models, but should work on any LG TV's from the last 5 years or so.

We don't have any detailed instructions for how to install ipk apps at this stage, but one recommended approach is using this utility https://github.com/webosbrew/dev-manager-desktop

Here is brief demo of it in use.

Hey (me again) 

I'm having issues accessing the VoD on a xtream connection, I get all the channels perfectly but when I enable VoD it appears to error out. 

Is there something I'm missing or is there just an error with the provider and I can't use NextPVR for VoDs (with this provider)? 

Thanks for any help <3

I'm using a generic USB DVT-T USB stick and finding no channels for the Irish Saorview service
I've done a full scan several times now and no joy
The device works fine with MediaPortal and other software I've tested

Anyone help?

Hey 

I've just started using NextPVR so excuse me if I'm missing something obvious but the Edit Channel Details flow seems super slow for updating the mapping on a provider. For my xtream XMLTV I have 3430 options in the mapping dropdown so needing to scroll until I find the correct one each time is quite a task when I need to update 000's of them. Is it possible to swap this for a search box that we could type into and filter the results down as we go? 

My next issue (which might just be me misunderstanding how the feature is meant to work) when I select a group of channels and select `Auto Map` it ignores what I have selected and instead maps everything, is this expected? I feel like if I have selected a few channels I'd expect just those channels to get changed. 

(I'm also running in Docker so if Docker is the problem I can try running it on Windows and moving the files after)
