The utility HDHRGuide is designed to create an XMLTV file from the data provided by Silicondust for HDHR users. Silicondust DVR subscribers will get 2 weeks of rich metadata, without a subscription the data is only 24 hours and there is a little less data..
With the price increase of Schedules Direct the cost of the Silicondust DVR subscription matches the $35 year price. This is especially significant for Flex 4K owners with ATSC 3 signals since major networks in some cities are now beginning to enable DRM. Sadly for many, these stations will only playback using the HDHR app after Silicondust enables decryption, and they aren't quite there yet. ATSC 3.0 broadcasts also typically require the HDHR app for playback because of AC-4 audio, but I will be releasing a Windows client for NextPVR that does AC-4 decoding later this weekend.
Notes:
- HDHRGuide is not a standalone utility, NextPVR must be installed.
- It is supposed to work for all countries that Silicondust supports however I have only tested it for Canada, US and UK. If it doesn't work in your country let me know.
- the DVR based guide uses the same ID as Schedules Direct so duplicates will not be recording. The 24 hr guides uses a different ID for series, movies are the same.
- 32bit Windows is not currently supported
To install on Windows
1. Download and unzip HDHRGuide-Win in C:\Program Files\NextPVR
2. Remove the HDHRGuide.runtimeconfig.json
3. Add the following to C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\scripts\UpdateEPG.bat Create the file if it is not there.
Hello. Not sure if this is a question or a bug report.
I use Schedules Direct for my EPG on the latest windows server (6.1.1.221106) although this has been happening since I subscribed to Schedules Direct about 6 months ago.
I have the EPG update at 6:05 every morning, using the setting for that on the Guide settings page. It always gets a full two weeks of EPG from Schedules Direct when that happens.
Since I record a lot of TV, I regularly encounter scheduling conflicts which I resolve by adjusting priorities on the recurring recordings page in the UI client. After doing that, I usually click on the "Update EPG" button on the main settings page (in the web client) so that the schedule is updated to reflect the new priorities. However, when I do that, I only get one week of EPG from Schedules Direct.
If I adjust the daily automatic update time to a couple of minutes in the future, the automatic EPG update will again retrieve a full two weeks of EPG from Schedules Direct.
Obviously, there is a difference if behaviour between daily EPG automatic update and a manual EPG update triggered by clicking the "Update EPG" button.
The thing is that when I've adjusted scheduling priorities, I don't even necessarily need/want to get new EPG data -- I just want the schedule to be updated to reflect the new scheduling priorities. Currently, it appears that the only to do that in the UI is with the "Update EPG" button -- but then I lose a week of EPG data. I can fix this by playing with the daily EPG update time and then put back to 6:05 after completion -- but this is not particularly intuitive.
So my question is: Is the behaviour of the "Update EPG" button really supposed to be different from the daily automatic update? I get that this behaviour could be different on purpose for a reason that I'm not aware of -- or maybe it's a bug.
If the different behaviour is on purpose, then I would suggest that the addition of an "Update Schedule" button on the main settings page would allow the schedule to be updated to reflect new scheduling rules/priorities without updating the EPG data and this would avoid the loss of a week's worth of EPG data.
VLC. Stream Stops or skips to other channel every 10-15-30 second
If Stream Stops or skips to other channel every 10-15-30 seconds, please click two times on Loop Play Button until an one appears as in figure.
How can I get the same result with NextPVR docker Arm64 Version: 6.1.1.221106 ?
Hi, I couldn't figure out how to make the service that runs on port 8866 ~not~ automatically start up. I would like to start this explicitly only when I want to use it. I now have to manually exit the tray app every time I start this computer.
It has been working great, only glitch is occasional stuck recording because the file name is not what is passed to the script.
So I am finally considering upgrade.
I would like to retain my scheduled recordings and channel settings.
Can I export/import or backup these things?
I understand there is a cleanup needed since this old version does not use the same install method as the latest, what is needed?
I have been using libreelec on a rpi2 but recently upgraded libreelec to matrix and the GUI is very sluggish (normal to be sluggish or bad config?). Libreelec nexus is just released which I assume would be even more sluggish on a rpi2. Libreelec recommends rpi4 but rpi4 is quite expensive for what it is.
What's a recommended device for a kodi frontend to nextpvr? The TV is a dumb 1080p but if it breaks, any replacement would surely be 4K so a 4K capable device is more future proof.
The rpi2 is always on so can access nextpvr immediately (no bootup time) which is nice. It also has low power/electricity costs.
Would a Fire TV Stick 4K Max be the best upgrade to run kodi nexus? I would use wired ethernet so the more expensive Fire TV Cube has an ethernet port without buying extra adapters.
Sorry lost my original post. I wanted to know the last time how I can edit the channel list without having to start from scratch. If I remember correctly I didn't give you enough information last time. This is where I would like to edit the list.
