I installed nextpvr on my laptop using the nextpvr-helper.deb file on Linux Mint 22.2. From the setup screens I see the tuners (Hauppauge USB 1595 dual tuner) and successfully scan for channels. I can update the program guide using the DVB/ATSC EPG. I can record programs from that guide. I can view channels using the VLC Open Network Stream option.
What I can't get working is adding a schedules direct lineup. I have been using schedules direct for many years with a desktop system at home running mythtv.
Starting from the channel list setup screen I select one of the channels (wrench icon on the far right), which brings up edit channel details. I click on source then select ...add schedules direct lineup... which brings up a Add Schedules Direct Lineup window. I enter the zip code and leaving north america - united states set I click on search. The window then displays another listbox with the lineups that came back from schedules direct. I scroll to the bottom and select the one that is named "antenna ... OTA-zipcode" and click on add lineup.
At that point I get a popup error window saying
localhost:8866
Invalid Username or Password
OK
That's as far as I can ever get. A couple of times I have tried to select the lineup starting from the guide option instead of the channels option. Whatever goes on there apparently "spams" schedules direct and exceeds their maximum of 10 IP addresses within 24 hours rule.
Hi, I am a newbie to Linux. I tried installing nextpvr on Linux mint 22.3, it works fine if I turn off ufw. When ufw is on the tuners become unavailable. I use this tuner on Windows 10 with no issues. I can’t figure out what ports need to be opened on ufw to make the tuner available. The tuner is a hdhomerun connect duo. I have tried this by installing with the Deb files method and the Docker method. If I can’t get this straightened out by fall I will reluctantly buy a Windows 11 machine before my Windows 10 ESU are expired. I also have a hdhomerun dual tuner which I believe is considered legacy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance. Emmgee
I was able to setup NextPVR with the documentation provided.
My first recording was last night (when I was sleeping).
Obviously my PC went into sleepmode to save power.
I expected NextPVR to awaken my PC, but it did not.
How can I record without leaving my PC on full for the whole night?
Hi, I have been running npvr 4.2.5 for years. As I've just built a new PC (and probably need a new capture card, see post in hardware forum), thought I would update npvr to v7.0.5.
I could see the EPG, cool, but using arrow keys left, or down, after 3 or 4 clicks, the UI would freeze for a new seconds. Did this repeatedly and I thought maybe my lack of tuner devices is causing a problem.
So I thought I'd look at existing recordings (I've copied over my npvr.db3 from old setup) and the screen was empty, then threw an exception. I cleared it (I should've checked exception details, damn). Then I got another exception. looks like there are permissions problems... have I done something seriously wrong?
Hi, long-time nextpvr user, years since I have posted a message...
I have a pretty old Hauppauge WinTV-7164 (HVR-2200), which is a dual-tuner. A/D card. I have just built a new PC with gigabyte Z890 motherboard, and it seems my capture card is not recognised, even within the bios. It was working ok in my old PC.
Has anyone used such an old card (date printed on card is 2007!!!) in a recent PC? I just wanted to know if I can get it working quickly.
If I cannot get it going shortly, and being so old, I should probably just buy a new one. I was thinking of a Hauppauge WinTV-quadHD (need it for DVB-T, NZ Freeview).
Upgrading to 7.0.5 appears to have broken the ability to scan for channels on my SATIP server. The scan proceeds through all the muxes on 28.2E but zero channels are found. Previous versions did find channels and a test downgrade to 7.0.1.xxx (docker pull nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64:prerelease, all other container parameters unchanged) also finds channels as expected.
Logs are attached from immediately after the channel scan.
As an aside would it be possible to have the previous version kept on Docker Hub for reversion purposes.
Always before my nextPVR would auto update my EPG but recently I keep having to do it my self. What changed? After MUCH research I found the set update time to be the issue. Maybe it is me but I could not find anywhere as to whether the set time was A.M., P.M., or Military. THAT was the problem. There should be a notice by the set time box that states it is Military time. Once I figured that out and set the time to military time my issue was solved. Did I miss something? It cold have been so simple, but for me it wasn't. ~ So... My question is: Is there any way nextPVR can put "Military Time" printed next to that box? It shouldn't be that hard. ~ What do y'all think?
This may not be the correct forum to ask for help with COMSKIP, but I have tried several others and am getting nowhere.
I use NPVR exclusively as my backend recording service, but have developed a custom UI for managing and viewing my recordings. This was done primarily to accommodate my 83 year-old wife.
My problem is I can't take advantage of using COMSKIP.
My UI uses VLC as the media player, and I don't think it supports the COMSKIP EDL file. I have since discovered that MPV doesn't support it either. MPLAYER looks like it would work, except it doesn't play well with TS files; the timeline is screwed up from the start. I looked at ZOOMPLAYER but didn't get anywhere. If there were a way to just use the NPVR player that would be the solution, but I doubt that's possible either.
Bottom line, is anyone aware of an external Windows media player that supports the COMSKIP EDL?
At the risk of proliferating topics, I have a question about setting CC in NextPVR. (Mods: If there's an existing topic where this question would go better, please do move it there, thank you.)
There are three ways to try to enable or disable closed captioning in the NPVR UI client:
Mouse: Right-click on the NextPVR.exe UI window, then select Subtitle Stream from the context menu, and then select Closed Captions
Media Center Remote: Press the More Info button, then the Down arrow button to highlight the controls at the bottom of the overlay, then the Left arrow button to reach the hamburger menu, next click the OK button, and finally select Change Subtitle Stream
Keyboard: Press Ctrl-X to display the Select Subtitle Stream menu
On my main test PC, however, none of these is managing to actually set closed captioning: the subtitles never start appearing onscreen, and the next time I bring up the CC selection menu, "Disabled" shows as the current setting. I figure I must be missing a step or a setting somewhere.
@mvallevand has suggested using yauiclient.exe instead if CC is important to us and I may ultimately do that, but I'm curious as to what if anything can be done for this on NextPVR.exe. Maybe modifying some line(s) in config.xml?
