When I watch Live TV from my HDHOMERUN using NextPVR there are no captions displayed. Same channel/same program/same time viewed with vlc can display captions.
Hi all,
Its been a while since I've used NPVR, but I'm having an issue.
Ive only got an OTA antenna for TV sgnals)
I've got the "SiliconDust HDhomerun dual HDHR3 US" device. I've got it hooked into my router. I went to the first PC and set it up. When I scanned for devices it returned 2 "HDhomeruns" and 4 "SiliconDust HDhomeruns". 2 of these were for QAM and 2 were for Atsc.
At first I tried to setup NPVR and chose the "HDhomerun" devices. No video or audio. I then set NPVR up with the Atsc SiliconDust HDhomerun devices (2 tuners) and NPVR worked perfectly.
I then went to another PC on my lan and tried to setup NPVR there as well. When I scan for devices I only get the HDhomerun devices. NPVR does not see the SiliconDust HDHR.
I tried to make the HDhomerun device work, but it does not (just like before).
Why can 2 instances of NPVR on different Win 10 machines, but on the same network not see the same tuners?
When I start more than one stream, the streams overlap with each other, on the second device I see the same stream as on the first device or vice versa
My base operating system is Debian 13. I have also tested this with different operating systems such as Unraid and others, and the behavior is always the same.
If I only watch a single stream or make one recording, it works perfectly. As soon as I start a second stream or recording, the overlapping issue happens.
Is there a setting I can check or adjust for this?
This may be user error, or maybe even expected behavior, not sure. I just re-did my OS installation and installation of NextPVR, on Linux. I had some issues with transcoding, which I got fixed.
But what I noticed while I was working on it, was if transcoding failed, the IPTV tuner wasn't released. I had to manually go into the tuner and release it. The HDHomeRun was released as expected. It only seemed to happen on my IPTV device.
Some time ago, I complained about this, saying that every time Microsoft did an update and automatically rebooted, that the recorder stopped working. It was suggested to disable "Scan devices at startup," and that appeared to fix the problem (everything else is set to default). However, this last time the problem showed up again. After restarting the service, it started working again. Any more suggestions as to what I should do to fix this issue? It hasn't happened often enough yet to see if the problem has come back permanently, or if it's intermittent. I attached a screenshot of the error and log files.
Hey Im new to the forums here so please forgive my formatting.

There appears to be no option in the settings menu to choose nvenc ? only "vaapi" and "cpu" is present and this causes issues with some of my streams.
i probed ffmpeg inside the container and this is the output ....
I also tried to delete the container adding "--gpus all" nvidia to runtime and -e variables NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all
NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=compute,video,utility.
Im kind of at a loss and I Dont know what else to do .
I tried to install a a Windows 11 update today and noticed that NextPVR is running. Checking NextPVR "Status" produced the attached output. I checked both the web and the desktop interface to NextPVR and could not find anything currently recording. Moreover, it has been in this state all day (about 8 hours).
I've also attached log files for your reference.
Should I just go ahead and let Windows update itself (and effectively end the running job), or try to fix whatever the problem is first?
When I record the BBC oder BBC2 via IPTV, regulary parts of the record are double.
When playing the file, he jumps back 20 seconds and plays the last 20 seconds again. And this happens in the broken parts every 30 seconds or so. Some parts are even tripled. In the end the half an hour recording ist 2 hours long.
When I record 4 hours of snooker, the result is usually around 6,5 hours. Parts are ok, parts are broken.
Another problem:
Records from BBC4 have no soundtrack.
I just noted that my main Windows PC has a BIOS update and followed up to find out that my BIOS will need to be updated to run with Secure Boot after June 2026. I found this site pretty informative https://windowsforum.com/threads/secure-...in.397238/ so if you use Secure Boot you might to read it. The tl;dr version is trying running this in a powershell admin to see if it is True or False.
Code:
[System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) -match 'Windows UEFI CA 2023'
False
I confirmed I had a failing string
Code:
[System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) -match 'Microsoft Corporation UEFI CA 2011'
True
