Just now, I opened NextPVR to watch a recording of Meet The Press on NBC. Audio was normal at first, but after 15 mins the audio sounded very low-pitched - like a ransom demand in a movie. Same issue when I started to watch the recording of This Week with George Stefanopoulos
Problem also happened last Sunday, June 29th, on multiple recordings.
Hi,
I have downloaded the latest NextPVR. I have started scanning my channels choosing "Italy/Sicily" but just 23 have been found over hundred we have. They are secondary "Rai" (The national TV) channels. Other PVR scan 120.
Since 2 days, my EPG on DVB-C does not update anymore. here was no windows-update or anything else, as far as I can see.
I've updated NPVR to latest version to check if it solves the problem, but it did not/
I deleted the EPG database and also updated it , but always the message: EPG Update complete. [0 inserted, 0 updated, 1010 skipped]
how about like media center would do, were movies from your tv guide could be shown in a poster style graphically displaying movies in genre like horror, action etc and were you can view by alphabet or in order of date.
It could be a new section to create and would be a great way to see what movies are coming up etc.
Recently I noticed that recording via NextPVR I get a TS file where the time recorded does not match what the file says - only with a transcoding it gets somehow fixed but the audio gets lost at some point.
I know the IPTV stream could/can be faulty but I am able to record the same IPTV stream with other tools and with ffmpeg.
Any chance you can have a look at what's going on?
Let me know if I can share some more details.
I've been troubleshooting Extras tuner integration on Linux with the latest nextpvr-helper.deb package (v3.1) and have run into what looks like a complete absence of Extras support.
Environment:
- OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Architecture: amd64
- Mono: 6.8.0.105
- NextPVR: 3.1, installed via official .deb with --install-recommends
Extras Config:
I've created /var/opt/nextpvr/extra/extras-hdradio.xml containing:
The script exists, is executable, and runs independently. Permissions are correct.
Confirmed:
- <ExtraDirectory> is present and correct in config.xml
- XML file is valid and readable
- Manual server restarts performed
Issue:
- No log entry about loading extras-hdradio.xml
- No Extras tuners shown in Devices tab
- No API trace from /service endpoint
- Purged install and reinstalled from official .deb, recreated files
Suspected Cause:
It appears the Linux build is skipping or missing Extras subsystem entirely. Windows build loads the same file without issue.
Question:
Can you confirm whether Extras support is enabled in current Linux builds? If not, is it planned, or is there a workaround?

Is there a way to change the view (aka Skin) shown on my Android TV box? For example, instead of showing 12 rows of channels in TV Guide it only displays 6 with font size adjusted accordingly.
In the past few days, I have not been able to watch NBC Nightly News. If I try to watch via the TV directly, live, it's fine. With NextPVR, I normally start watching a few minutes in, and skip commercials. Now, when I click on it, nothing happens, If I try to watch live via NextPVR, nothing happens. Watching CBS or ABC news, no issues.
My first guess was weak signal, but watching live via the TV directly says that's not it, coupled with watching the channel after the news ends works fine. Now, with the little I understand about DRM, I'm wondering if they're encoding something that my old HD HomeRun boxes can't decode, but the TV can. But why would they encode one program? We watched a few nights ago without issue, as well as a program recorded on the same channel, Transplant, without issue. So it seems to just be the Nightly News.
I've attached the logs to see if they show anything (news is 6:30PM tonight), but if there's anything I should look at during the broadcast please advise.
I had looked into updating to the newest HD HomeRun boxes to take advantage of my 4K TV, but it appeared to me that they're having DRM issues also, and it would simply be wasted money. It's also unclear to me how many shows are broadcast by the major networks in the top resolution.
I've been exploring things in planning for the demise of Windows 10, trying to figure out the best long term solution that doesn't break the bank. I was thinking switching to Linux Mint on the same PC I'm using now (assuming I can figure that out).
Any insight into my current problem is appreciated.
