There seems to be a pretty good $100 deal on the TabloTV here  https://www.gettablo.com/  for those North Americans wanting to explore OTA You get a dual tuner ATSC that works with NextPVR with basically a free OTA antenna and a good return policy if it doesn't work for you. 

The advantage for NextPVR users is the audio and video is transcoded so it plays directly in the browser and some other platfroms without transcoding.  The h264 video also is compressed so takes less space then tranditional mpeg2video.    The downside to these devices is they don't currently play the mpeg4 video available in a few markets.  They advertise free guide data but note that is only 24 hours.

I know many of you are considering ATSC 3.0 but do note that more an more standard network stations are turning on DRM so buyer beware.

Has anyone been able to successfully use Vidimport with Ver 5/6?
I think there may be some hard-coded references in the program that are no longer valid.

I have 2 nextpvr servers - one at port 8866 and the other at 8867.  I sideloaded uidroid on my fireTV stick and I would like to be able to select the which server to watch. 

I have a similar setup on a windows PC and I can speciify which one by the command start nlite -server:192.168.1.14:8866:0000 or start nlite -server:192.168.1.16:8867:0000

any way to do this with uidroid.   I couldn't seem to find any sort of config file (using adblink)

Is this possible?

OK, I've been using NEXTPVR for over 10 years.  I'm using Schedules Direct for the guide.  I use a Hauppauge Colossus 2 tuner via Verizon FIOS box.  It all works.  Only thing is, I cannot figure out how to add a new channel to the guide.  I somehow got it in there using the wrench in settings>channels, but the haupblast channel number is not correct.  I used to be able to fix this stuff in the desktop app, but it just takes me to the web app.  I know this is likely something stupid, but I need to know how to add a channel to the guide.

I have been using NextPVR since 2018 without any problems. I have a four channel Hauppauge tuner. About two weeks ago I upgraded to version 6.1.1.221106 and ever since about 1 in 4 recordings fails. The failures take on two forms.
1) For some reason in the middle of the recording the channel changes to a different channel. This problem is rare and only happened a couple of times.
2) The recording just stops for no reason what so ever. It appears that this one happens after the pre-pad time expires, right about the time the show actually starts. This happened again yesterday and last night to 'Midsomer Murders'.
Please help

if I reset the pc on the next boot nextpvr consumes all ram when I watch a channel. it saturates all ramm till stucking the pc

There are a number of times when my recordings do not play back correctly through the browser or through the Kodi interface.

I can play them fine through VLC on my PC.

In order to fix them, I can run them through a program I found called TS-Doctor which finds errors and they become watchable. I remember when I used to use Beyond TV there was a program that would take new records and cut commercials, fixed the files, or compressed them.

I could be mistaken because it has been a long time but are there any add-ons that might be able to assist me with this issue after a recording is made?

Is there a keyboard shortcut to access the Scheduler selection in the main menu of the desktop app?

Thanks again for this, it has worked pretty well so far.

There are times (not a Roku App issue) where the Comskip blanks get out of sync with the commercials. This may be due to more tuning needed in comskip, antenna issues, etc.

When running NextPVR on the PC, I simply bypass Comskip by pressing "999", and then manually fast forward through commercials.

When running in Roku, I have not found a way to turn off the Comskip blanks when they get out of sync. 

Is there any way we can get the equivalent of "999" on a Roku button sequence or long-push? I recognize it is a very limited remote. In our new setup, new location, antenna vs cable, etc., we are having many issues that I am still resolving. But even when all is right, Comskip is not perfect, as the networks doe what they can to get you to watch commercials!

Thanks

Hi,

I am new to this forum and am trying to setup and evaluate the NextPVR software. I can view live and recorded TV okay on the Web App, however I’m having problems with the Desktop App. When trying to view live or recorded TV with the Desktop App, the picture is black with the occasional fleeting flashes of the picture when I right click on the window, the sound is very sporadic and broken.
 
I have installed NextPVR on a HP EliteDesk 800 G1, Intel Core i5-4670 3.40GHz computer with a clean fresh install of Windows 10 Pro. Before installing NextPVR, I stalled LAV Filters v0.77.1 (LAV Audio x86 & LAV Video x86). After installing NextPVR, I did a channel scan and uploaded EPG Guide. I then went into the Desktop App and set all Video and Audio Decoders to LAV. All other NextPVR settings are at the default state. I am using a Hauppauge WinTV-quadHD (model 1607) tuner card. I have reinstalled Windows and NextPVR twice with the same result.

I assume I have a decoder problem, I have scanned through the forum for ideas but haven’t found any. I believe I have setup NextPVR correctly according to the Wiki guide and am out of ideas. I have attached logs which I saved immediately after trying to view live TV on the Desktop App. I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can give me.

Thankyou Bevan
