All been working fine for months, but suddenly the EPG in NextPVR (Windows) isn't being updated.
I run "update EPG" in "settings / About", which inserts 612, skips 3089.
But NextPVR still doesn't have any future EPG entries.
The channels are all watchable, just no EPG.

Version 6.1.5.231022 on Linux.
I'm using Matt Huisman's m3u files from https://i.mjh.nz/au/Melbourne/ for IPTV, and none of the Channel 10s seem to work. These files work on Kodi's IPTVSimple client, so it's not the streams themselves.
Attempting to record anything on Channel 10 (or 10 Bold, 10 Peach, etc) results in this in /var/log/syslog:
My system wakes on a schedule at 07:50 then re-boots to get a clean start to the day.
The automatic EPG update is programmed to start at 08:15.
The USA F1 started recording at 08:00 on the 1st Satellite tuner. At 08:15 the EPG update started and the logs clearly show it tuned on the same tuner resulting in the recording being truncated to 15mins (earache from wife).
The 2nd Satellite tuner was not in use.
Whilst we do not usually have any recordings going on that would clash with the EPG update time, should NPVR have used the 2nd tuner rather than nicking the one being used for a recording?
When I look at my IPTV EPG, it displays 24 hours of programming.
If I look at it using SmartersPRO, I get around 5 days of programming.
Is there some config setting I'm missing?
The channels that I use SD for give me 14 days of programming.
After some time you want to trim the files down, maybe transcode etc, migrate them to something like Jellyfin etc.
But what is the best way to be able to do this without leaving all the original recorded files for NextPVR to be aware of what has been recorded already?
Can you just leave the XML files behind? Or does the video file also have to remain?
I know I could test this to find out, but it can be a fairly arduous task given I'm not sure how NextPVR manages this in the first place, and waiting for repeat recording opportunities to come up.
For example, assuming I'd recorded The Simpsons and had about 200 episodes, and removed them all, but wanted to pick up straggler episodes I didn't have/get recorded... how do I go about making NextPVR aware of what I do/did have recorded, so it doesn't grab them all again?
Is it using UID inside the XML files? Or the XML file name? Or combinations of metadata/filenames?

On manual recording popup in NextPVR (and other UI clients), with the channel name field selected, you can type a partial name and press enter
On manual recording popup in the web app, the channel dropdown now has a text box for filtering the channels based on the text you type
Fixed issue with enabling DVB Subtitles on NLite.exe
Fixed issue with NScriptHelper.exe not finding the config file correctly on Linux
The /service?method=channel.xmltv url now includes genre
The /service?method=channel.xmltv url now delivers up to 7 days of data
The /service?method=channel.m3u url now includes group information (for user's that have donated)
Web api for scheduling a recurring recording now able to specify the initial priority
Improved the way Schedules Direct lineups are shown when adding a lineup, so that the lineup code can be seen
Fixed issues with how the application behaves when Schedules Direct token becomes invalidated
Fixed an issue with IPTV streams that use a relative redirect
Fast Background Mode (FBM) is no longer the default for knewc clients.
Now reports if an IPTV recording unexpectedly ends early
Now supports m3u sources that use single quotes instead of double quotes
Now supports the adding an HDHomeRun, that cant be discovered by the normal methods, by using an OTHER_HDHOMERUN environment variable. Must be in the format of {ID}:{ADDRESS}:{TUNER-COUNT}. For example, 10A5C6CE:10.0.17.243:4
No longer running any configured transcoding job if a PostProcessing.bat/.sh file exists. (ie, behaves more like the releases prior to 6.1.4)
Hello everyone,
Lately I have been noticing that my IPTV channels have been acting up where the channel would start then a minute in it would either freeze or restart the stream from where I started. This was happening on all my devices no matter being NextPVr or tivimate Etc. I then had found that my Mothers NextPVR was the culprit. She had been for whatever reason Probably being 80 years old and just pushing buttons started a reoccurring recording on a program 7 yes 7 times concurrently. My IPTV provider only allows me 5 connections. With this being said I went in and deleted all of her reoccurring and pending recordings thinking this would take care of the problem. This should have solved the problem for nothing was scheduled to record and none of the timelines in the EPG were red.
I did all the usual scans such as antivirus, Antimalware and running bleachbit with none of these resulting in any issues or resolving the problem. I then did a reboot of the modem, router and rebooted the PC. This seems to have solved the issue.
Can someone tell me their thoughts on this one?
Thank you,
Bruce
Quote:New streaming service Freely is set to become the online successor to Freeview. It will allow viewers to stream all major TV channels without an aerial or satellite dish.
The service will launch in 2024, but will require a next-generation smart TV.
I wonder if NextPVR will be able to access it, or will it be locked down to the next generation smart TVs which come on sale in 2024?
I installed a Docker container with NextPVR on my QNAP NAS. I am able to record TV channels but I am unable to watch any TV channel : I get an error message at the bottom of the screen in red: "Streaming Failed (transcoder exited)". Here's the log information. I use a SiliconDust HDHomeRun dual-tuner. Could you help me, please?
