What is the best way to create a Recurring Recording when the Title of the series comes after the ":". The original Recurring Recording I created for the first series does not detect the second series as they have added a sub title before the series name!

The series is called "The Secret Genius of Modern Life"! The EPG displays "Passport: The Secret Genius of Modern Life" where "Passport" is the subject of the first episode! Does the text after the first ":" have a different description to search on other than "title like"? I looked at the Wiki but could see nothing in the Scheduler section.

The BBC does occasionally do this!

Any ideas?  I'll be watching a channel then it will freeze at a commercial.  Lots of IsComplete() errors in the log file during streaming.  Thanks in advance.

After latest Win10 updates, NextPVR will not play from within Kodi, and streaming directly from the app fails with a transcoder error.  The next-to-last line in the Devices log file shows:

"FindFilterByName failed to locate filter: MainConcept (HCW) MPEG Multiplexer-Plus"

I restarted the PC and stopped / started the NextPVR service with no effect.

I uploaded the log files.

Help would be appreciated.

Hello,

I looked through the forum but was unable to find any hints to help me fix my problem.
I'm running:

Setup:
OS: Ubuntu 22.04 (virtualized on ESXi)
NextPVR:  Version: 6.1.5.231022  
HW: Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD USB Stick
Hauppauge Drivers are installed and operational (no errors in dmesg and Kaffeine working fine).
NextPVR is installed (using .deb package including dependencies) and the webfront end is accessible. Hauppage Device shows up fine (2x DVB-T and 2x DVB-C - e.g. adapter1/frontend0 (Silicon Labs Si2168) )
Location: Singapore - DVB-T2

Issue:
Scanning for DVB-T Channels in both NextPVR and using dvbv5-scan does not detect any channels. I tried multiple tuning profiles including the auto-Default profile but with no success.
I also created my own profile based on the info extracted from found channels in Kaffeine but still no channel is found.

Kaffeine works on the same machine. It detects all channels without issues and playback is working great.
NextPVR Log files and dvbv5-scan log attached.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks !

I am trying to schedule a manual recording for a show in Kodi.  Is there a way using the API to keep it manual if I provide a name?  In this case my 2hr recording is being truncated to one hour.

Hey there,

I have a weird question that I can't seem to figure out. I'm running IPTV through Threadfin to NextPVR. I'm trying to add some new channels from my provider, but I can't because when I give NextPVR the Threadfin m3u and XML links, it detects these new channels as VOD, even though they're not.

I've looked directly at the M3U file and can see no difference between the old channels and the new ones. They are higher res versions of existing channels (1080p vs 720p) so I'm not sure if that has something to do with it. However, I've also tried disabling the old channels in Threadfin, and the new ones still go in as VOD.

I also tried doing a completely fresh NextPVR install before importing, and these channels are still tagged as VOD. And when importing into another PVR setup (e.g. Plex) these come through as regular channels and work properly.

So, the key question is how does NextPVR decide that something is a VOD channel, and how can I correct it?

Thanks!

I'm having issues with playing some NextPVR recordings. The one I am currently having trouble with is NFL Football Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles recorded 11/05/2023 at 3:25pm

The problem is the recording is over three hours long but in all the NextPVR clients and Web client the recording only reports 15 minutes in length. I have only seen this with recordings using the Tablo tuner + Extra so far.

The same recording actually plays fine in Kodi and reports the correct duration of 3hrs 21min.

Do the logs show any clues as to what is happening?

Thanks

I still have to use V4 as later versions do not support Composite or S Video. I still need these inputs for older hardware. (yes, I regularly transfer old videotape and use an old set top box on this machine
I used V5 for a while using the database from V4, then I had to do a Channel reconfiguration due to "Foxtel" channel changes and it was not possible. I would have had to use V4 to make the changes.
I just went back to using V4 as this machine is only used for recording.
I have another PVR at the other end of my house which uses HDMI to record from its set top box, I am using the latest v6.1.5.231022 and this version is by far the best NPVR yet.

When I do a manual record from the web app, regardless of which directory I choose in the setup, the recording is found in C:\Manual Recordings directory.
Is that a bug or am I missing something?

I am using 4.2.5

I have tried to update several times and nothing is happening.

I understand that 6.1.5 is the latest version

After the install runs it just disappears and NPVR does not open as it claims.

I clicked on the installer from this post  6.1.5.231022 Available (22nd October 2023)

There are no new versions of NPVR in my program files

Please advise, Thank you.
