...to which sub-folder do I navigate in NextPVR to drop them in? They were originally recorded in NPVR 4.2.5 but I have upgraded to v6 and only the recordings post-update are currently in the Recorded TV folder...
Thanks, I am baffled but feel I am missing something basic here...
I'm completely new to this IPTV stuff. It seems really simple from all the searching I've done but I can't get anything to work so I must be missing something really basic.
So I have a Roku TV. I watch OTA ATSC channels and streaming video (of which there are tons of channels) - all free. I have a HTPC with NextPVR set up to record shows from the same OTA channels. I set this up last year and haven't messed with (or even watched anything via the HTPC) until recently. I had to mess with the EPG a bit to get it working again but it now seems to be working just fine. I'd like to be able to use NextPVR to record shows from some of the same streaming channels I watch on my Roku TV - maybe half a dozen shows from half a dozen channels.
How can I find the M3U and EPG or whatever and set up NextPVR to record the shows I'm interested in?
Most of the searching I've done results in nothing but what appear to be scams, pirate crap, etc. I pay nothing to watch them on the Roku TV, so I assume there must be a way to set up that stream on my HTPC and DVR using NextPVR but I'm going nuts trying to figure it out. When I first played around with NextPVR a few years ago, I had this working somehow but am completely unable to get it working again. Did I just get lucky and found working M3U and EPG information back then? What am I missing? Why is something that's totally free and seemingly so simple, so difficult to get good information about? Does it have something to do with the stream providers only getting ad revenue if I use the Roku? Does Roku collect viewing information and send it to the stream providers so they can charge the advertisers or what? I seriously have no clue how any of this works! Help!
I have 2 separate computers running Windows 11 and NextPvr version 6
One Homerun 3 channel cable card box.
If one computer is using one of the 3 Homerun channels, the other computer can not use either of the 2 unused channels.

I upgraded to Version: 6.1.1.221106 today and it seems like all is well except I can't access settings from my laptop connected to my "server" over my LAN. I can access settings from the server via the web app and the desktop app. I believe when I was running Version 5, I was able to access and edit settings from my laptop.
I can log into NextPVR from the laptop and I can see the Main Page (NextPVR) and the Channels, TV Guide, Search, Recordings, and Scheduler pages. When I click on Settings, I get the page with all the settings menu items on the left side of the page, but if I click on any of the items, I just continue to see the menu items.
Today nextpvr (6.1.1.221106)has stopped working. It looks like the Service and/or Server isn't running. When I look at the services, NextPVR Service isn't running and when I try to start it I get the below message...
"Windows could not start the NextPVR Service on Local Computer. Error 193:0xc1"
If I run the NextPVRServer.exe manually it all works as it should. It does show "No C:\Users\Public\NPVR-Data\Scripts\PreStartup.bat" I can confirm that folder is empty.
So maybe the server element isn't starting automatically.
Where to go now? What else would you like to know?
I've been using version 5.2.0 with no problems since I installed it.
Yesterday I decided to install the latest version. Now NEXTPVR is completely broken!
I've done a Windows System Restore to a few days ago, and now the Desktop Client opens, but says "unable to connect to the remote server".
I recently purchased a basic USB 3.0 capture card and was wondering if there are any tips on setup the extras xml setup (a template would be a great starting point to try different ffmpeg variables that work with my setup). I have tried various ffmpeg commands and can get the video and audio to play in a *.mp4 format (albeit audio is just static at the moment). I also have created the extras-*.xml file so I can see my device in nextpvr running the latest server. I am basically just trying to figure out how to be able to capture my cable box hdmi output into nextpvr, and can go from there to figuring out ir blaster setups if I can get this working. I currently also have an HD PVR 2 that is working fine, but the channel changing is taking 10 to 15 seconds, so I'm hoping that the capture card (being a more recent device) will allow for quicker channel changing. I'm also still struggling to figure out why the cable box audio is just static noise, but I'm thinking it has to do with the sample rates not matching up. If more specifics are needed, please ask and I'll try to provide more information or further clarification.
