I'm looking to update a 4.0.4 install to v6 on a network with no internet access using a Windows 7 machine, which is primarily to test getting a RTSP stream working from my camera NVR. I've downloaded the current v6 installer as NPVR.zip but can't see how I kick off the installer. Since 404 was a long time ago, its no problem if the installer wont update this and I'll just go with a fresh v6 install.
How do I start the installer on a standalone machine?
I was messing around with my network the other day. Everything seems to be stable except for IPTV functionality in NPVR.
For example, I just tried to import channels from an M3U file from the web UI and I received a "Failed to download channel list: The operation has timed out." message. I can issue a curl in a CLI with the same url and it works. All other network/internet functionality seems to work from the box just fine. Tuned antenna streams work great also. Rebooting doesn't seem to help.
Attached are the logs from the import attempt. I feel like NextPRV is caching something or keeping something around from the old network config that is no longer working.
Running NextPVR on Libreelec 10 on an Intel NUC. Nextpvr suddenly quit seeing the tuners (HDhomerun connect Quatro) I have tried rebooting the NUC, installing the newest version of Nextpvr, rebuilding the docker image, no joy. I even created a schedulesdirect account to if that helped. logs attached. Thank you.
I am a long-time NextPVR user and once a contributor to NextPVR. We had it simple, a single TV with a Windows computer running NextPVR, and an HD Homerun Prime for Cablecard. I have been vary happy for many years. (I can and should do a new donation, as NextPVR has been flawless for us for years)
We are now transferring to a different state, where OTA channels are available by antenna. I have been looking at many options, but keep coming back to NextPVR as the best, known, solution. The Roku app threads appear to be a bit dated since the Roku cancellation, but it appears things may still be active?
Our new house has 3 Roku TV's (One a TCL Roku TV, brand new, and two older TV's with Roku 4K boxes) and one Vizio smart TV (Vizio apps). All Roku devices are new this year.
I am not as concerned about the Vizio.
My desire is to be able to see live TV and recorded TV, with commercial skipping, on all of the Roku TV's and maybe the Vizio. I will probably get a Homerun box that is antenna capable, though my go with an internal card from Hauppauge. Either way, I will operate with a single multi-tuner device on a central NextPVR server.
So, what is the best way to stream NextPVR to the TV's? 1. Is the Roku app still active, and in that case can I get on the trial when the time comes? 2. Alternatives seem to be the Tivo 4k or the ONN streaming box, both Android boxes. Are those a better option? Not integrated to Roku, so another remote, power, etc. If this is the way to go, I assume there are other threads I can find on the forum.
At this point we are not yet in the house, so no need to get on trial yet. I simply want to chart a path forward as we prep for a move.
The first question is the overall approach, whether Roku, Android, or some other solution.
I apologize if this i clear in the forums. Everything I looked at so far in relation to Roku is dated.
I appreciate the effort you are putting in on this, and any insight/direction you can provide.
I am having problems running "C:\Program Files\NextPVR\NScriptHelper.exe" in a PowerShell script. I am on version 6.0.0 with a build date of 220904. When running NScriptHelper.exe I get an Exit Code: -2147450730.
Here is the last part of the Windows PowerShell transcript

Tried running in a batch file and got

Does NScriptHelper.exe now require NetCore version 6?
Did not have this problem with version 5.x of NextPVR.
I have been running NextPVR on a Raspberry Pi quite successfully, but there is one area that is a problem for me.
That is, sometimes when I am looking over the recordings, I will accidently click on one. This causes the poor raspi to go transcoding, and even if I immediately cancel it seems to transcode the whole thing. For example I recently accidently clicked on a 1/2 hour show and it spent the next hour and a half transcoding!
I don't use the web client for streaming, and of course the Raspberry Pi is entirely unsuitable for transcoding. Is there some way I can either disable the client streaming, or at a minimum, disable transcoding entirely?
Everything is set up and works great except for actually playing back or recording a stream. The error is:
Code:
[56] ConnectToURL: http://IPTVURL:80/.../File.ts?....
[56] WebException: System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
at NShared.IPTVRecorder.ConnectToURL(String url, Int32 depth)
This only happens in NextPVR though, and only with the direct URL.
If I use Xteve or similar to restream it, it loads perfectly fine in NextPVR.
I think my provider is blocking the User-Agent. Is there a workaround? Thanks!
