My NextPVR is installed on a VPS, and I want to migrate it to another VPS offshore.
More specifically it is installed currently on a Oracle VPS in Johannesburg, and I suspect that server gets overloaded times, and I get buffering, especially in the evenings SA time, so want to migrate it to Amsterdam, where performance has always been better. I don't want to reinstall everything, as everything is set up in a specific way, so was hopeful to either export configuration, or copy the files with the configuration stored, such as channels, and EPG lists. and then re-import it on the new machine, and I could simply change the IP address of the new VPS, to that of the old one.
If it's not possible, I would rather NextPVR remain hosted in Johannesburg, than set up from scratch.
Maybe my search skill are fail, but are there special instructions for setting up NextPVR for multiple clients?
I have NextPVR installed on a Win10 box running Kodi (with Hauppauge 4-tuner card and HD antenna for OTA channels), and on 2x Raspberry Pi boxes running OSMC / Kodi. All work fine until somebody tries to watch a different TV channel on one of the other devices while a TV channel is already playing on one of the other devices.
To say another way, I can be watching a TV channel on the Win10 Kodi box but my wife can't watch a different channel at the same time on one of the Raspberry Pi boxes. The remote box can tune the same channel though.
I just reloaded windows, and reinstalled next PVR.
Whatever channel I choose, I’m getting “No tuner was available for the requested channel.”
I attach the logs in the hope that somebody can tell you what I’ve done wrong.
New user in the process of setting things up. Doing lots of searching but having trouble finding some topics. I'm not sure if that is because these things don't exist in Npvr or because I'm not looking in the right place.
For testing, I am on a single win10 pc directly tv attached with server and using the browser client. hdhomerun tuners and plutotv extra. All of that is mostly working. Some challenges with pluto but that's still in the testing phase.
Issues I'm have trouble finding info/discussions about:
Remote control setup/control/tweaking - I do the more involved setup things with keyboard-like devices but would hope to use a more simple remote (mostly) once setup. I have rc6 remotes that are used with wmc/kodi. Npvr recognises a (very) few things but not necessarily as would be preferred. For example, the stop key does a pause rather than stop, etc. Bottom line question, does Npvr have a way to do remote control configuration and if so where do i find this type of setup/tweaking info or discussions?
If I'm simply being thick and not looking in the right place, please point me to a good starting point. I'm more than happy to read and discover.
Hi, after many months successful usage of NextPVR, I'm now getting a permanent
"Unable to find available capture device (Device failed to Start)" failure message when launching Live TV from NextPVR desktop App.
Obvious changes I made /happened on the PC (Windows 11 Pro 23H2) that could be related to the problem are Windows Update but also an SW installation for an USB Video grabber device.
I'm attaching the NextPVR logs.
Thanks in advance for taking a look and letting me know how to further proceed (from my side) to get the problem further anlysed and resolved.
Having a weird issue and can't find any threads on it. When I do a long recording like a 3 hour hockey game the middle gets cut out. I'll be watching and it will be at end of first or just into the second then bam I've got 10 minutes left in the third. I know it's going to happen because a 3 hour game is about a 1:25 video. Happens on more than one channel, i.e. espn, BSN, Big10. Doesn't seem to impact shorter shows like sitcoms, just long things.
I've attached a .jpg screen shot of a Kodi Matrix screen about which I have question. The row of cards below the "Recently played channels" title shows three cards a with blue line at the bottom of the card. The line's length varies.
What does this blue line mean? I can find no explanation in any of the Kodi documents I know of.
Thanks.

PS: Twice I've tried to attach the zipped .jpg file by using drag-and-drop. I get a green check mark at 2.6MB but the file doesn't show in preview. Too big? I hope it's posted.
I tried NextPVR after having to dust off my old AVERMedia tuner as today my new Hauppage TV tuner got fried when lightning struck my roof antenna. I can't use WinTV 10 anymore as it only works with genuine Hauppage tuners, and I used to use SichboPVR 4 but now on my desktop it only gives me half the frame rate (but recordings play back at the correct frame rate) on my laptop SichboPVR 4 runs fine. NextPVR was the next step as Media Portal 2 crashes when I tried to open any of the scanned channels. I have one glaring problem though.
NO ability to record!
I set up my recording folder in the settings server side, but when I play a TV channel, there is a big gap in the icons on the OSD, where the record button should be. Because of this I can not record any TV shows at all.
EDIT: I also noticed that when Live TV is enabled the status bar on the bottom that's meant to count from the start of the show to the end, hovers near the end all the time and the time quickly switches between -00:00:00 to -00-00-01, and the green bar is juddering in the same spot. Does this have something to do with the missing record button? Is there a hotkey I can use that may force recording or is recording just not going to work on my PC?
Is it possible to add additional users so that each user at least has their own preferences and what recordings they have watched? I'd really like the ability to add additional users with each user having their own status of each recording.
I have finally gotten an Android TV box for my living room, however the font is too small to read from the other side of the room (for me at least). When I was watching from the computer it self I just increased the font size in Windows settings, however I do not see that option in Android TV or the app
