Using ParallelProcessing, NextEnd works and also comskip, but seemingly not both together.
It's been a while since I tried this but I think if I have the script for NextEnd listed first and Comskip script on the next line only Nextend runs. In the logs I can tell Comskip never runs.
Ideally I would like to use both NextEnd and Comskip for watching in-progress recordings (like an MLB game) delayed.
Is it even possible to run both at the same time? If so, any advice on how to do this?
I have just updated to 6.1.4 and find I have three extra files generated for my first recording, they are suffixed .timing, .thumbnails and .map.
I see from the release notes that I can suppress the thumbnails but I am not sure how. I see an entry in config.xml for <ExtractThumbnails> which is set to parallel, do I just make that false?
Can I also suppress the .timing file?
Should the .map not be deleted as it usually is?
I would prefer just to have the .ts files in the recording directory if that's possible.
I tried playback of a 20GB+ file using the web app in Microsoft Edge. No messages but the app and browser were unresponsive and I had to use Task Manager. Playback of same file works OK using Firefox.

Hi all,
I am on 6.1.2, windows client, HDHR Quatro, logs attached
I set two recordings on different channels last evening, 20:00-21:00 and 21:00-22:00 with my usual 4 minutes pre- and post-padding.
The first recording terminated at 20:56 so that the second recording could begin. But the other three tuners were all free so why did it not use one of them for the second recording?
Any thoughts welcomed.
Thanks,
Stanno
There are times when I wish there was a clock with current time that shows with the OSD when watching a recording . Kodi has a clock at the top right when the OSD is showing during a video.
I did a screen copy from uidroid and added a possible clock location at the bottom right.
I have updated NextTool with a mechanism that allows you to queue post and parallel processing until later, typically after the EPG update to reduce the impact on the server during prime recording time. Example and usage are explained on the wiki. https://github.com/sub3/NextPVR/wiki/NextTool If you have any usage questions let me know.
I personally use it to defer the creation of thumbs and comskip until overnight since I rarely watch recordings the same day. User with a fast enough CPU probably won't need this but I have found it very handy so far.
Is there documentation anywhere for this? Can I through whatever I want in this bat file and it'll just be called by the app after process or will it actually have an impact on the recording itself? I'm wondering if my postprocessing.bat to move files around is why I'm getting this "ffempg exited. Likely end of VOD." error on my IPTV recordings.
Did a new install of NextPVR version 6.1.4.230625 on Windows 11. Trying to update the EPG and it will not download. I am logged in correctly to Schedules direct and have the correct lineup chosen. The dialog box says Requesting channel listings 10-20 of 49 from Schedules direct. It sticks on that prompt for about 10 mins or so then does the regular EPG update on the 2 channels that are not on Schedules direct. Is this an issue with the new version of NextPVR or is the Schedules Direct server down?
Quote:Added thumbnails while seeking in recordings in the web app, nextpvr.exe and ui clients. The thumbnails can be seen in the web player when dragging the timeline. The thumbnails can be seen in nextpvr.exe and ui clients by pressing the left or right arrow keys during playback. This feature works by generating a new thumbnails file, which sits alongside the recording. By default the generation of this file happens while recording. You can optionally switch it to happen after recording, or disable it.
Improved skipping accuracy when playing recordings (with new .timing file, which is generated alongside the new .thumbnails file).
Slight tweaks to artwork API for kodi clients.
Fixed a bug that would stop it looking for Freesat EPG listings
Can now run multiple instances of the tray with "-multi" parameter. This can be useful when connecting to other servers ("-server:192.168.1.22:8866 -multi"). Hovering the mouse over the icon will let you know what server that tray icon is for.
Can now set <BlockShutdownWhileRecording>false</BlockShutdownWhileRecording> in config.xml to stop the tray app from actively blocking shutdown on windows while recording.
Security improvement. After 10 failed brute force attempts to login using pin number the server will return a login failure for that client until the server is restarted.
Security improvement. Tightened security on a private api used by nextpvr.exe to talk to the recording service, so that it is only available on localhost.
Improvements to readability of now/next mini guide in ui clients
Timeout while accessing IPTV m3u8 streams now configurable in config.xml
Improvements to api to enable clients to control recording priority
