I would like to use ParallelProcessing.bat to ssh into another machine on my local network and run a script, but the script I want it to run would be based off the channel it is recording and the device it is recording off. Can anyone tell me how I could do this if it is even possible?
Everything was fine on v5, after upgrading to v6 NextPVRServer.exe prevents the computer for going to sleep. NextPVR isn't recording at the time or doing an EPG update, but it still keeps the computer awake. A reboot fixes it for a short time. Tuners are not primed, I toggled it to make sure it's off. powercfg output is below and logs are attached. Anything obvious I should check? Thanks.
I use NextPVR on a windows laptop with dual Hauppauge tuner. When I stream a channel it plays fine over my network both in a browser and via Kodi. But if I record the same channel, when I try to play back directly or download first, the quality is bad. The picture and sound breakup badly as if I have a poor aerial signal. So why is streaming ok but recordings terrible?

Hi,
Very new to all things linux but having fun mucking around with Mint. Since installing nextpvr ver 6 and getting a Hauppauge dual tuner working I have the same problem as the EPG only finds the first, in my case all the ABC channels, then exits skipping - "EPG Update complete. [2803 inserted, 0 updated, 13463 skipped]". It then, well not every time, requires a server restart if it notifies "No tuner was available for the requested channel."
After coming here and finding this fix I grabbed and replaced the mentioned file but it didn't make any difference.
Using 2 tuners seems very hit and miss with I think only once was I able to get both tuners recording at the same time.
Any help appreciated. Attaching logs as they seem to be always required.
Hi all,
Perhaps this is being worked on for v6, but I'm coming from a mythtv backend and frontend setup that I've wiped and thought I'd try out nextpvr as it looks promising.
However, I've got issues with being able to record or watch livetv. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
I've got three tuner cards (2x DTV1000T Leadtek which worked flawlessly) and another Winfast DTV2000 DS which doesn't scan as well in Myth, but tunes just fine when running.
I've disabled the third tuner for now, but it seems I can't have one tuner running and then record or watch another show at the same time (or listen to the radio stream for that matter). I did think this was doable from what I've read.
I've got a desktop PC with an old intel core2duo cpu and three pci cards for tuners.
Do I need to downgrade (somehow) to v5, or is there a fix for this type of behaviour?
I was also have a few issues with the EPG and scanning but I think I figured that out.
It would be nice to also be able to grab EPG data as soon as the system locks on to a channel. But, I'm just a humble hack, no IT expert.
I was really hoping this would be a nicer setup and less clunky that the mythtv setup I've had for over 15 years, so I'm happy to get logs (if you help me find them) to see if I can iron this out.
I've followed the instructions for setting up permissions for my two external hard drives (mounting them in two folders in my home folder) and running the script to change permissions / groups.
If I restart the pc, it will work fine, but still no dual recordings. Then, at some point it will all fail and i'll need to restart the server / pc.
Otherwise, it looks like a promising service. Regards,
Larry
When I started NextPVR today I noticed that the guide was not showing that the MLB Baseball recording was in progress. I thought maybe the recording didn't happen. It actually was recording but the normal red cell color for a recording wasn't showing in the time slot.
Tried F5 refreshing the browser and tried an "In private" web browser but it still didn't show.
This summer I updated my PVR to NextPVR 5 from 4. Everything has been working pretty well, but the other day I was looking for a show that should have been recorded it wasn't.
I use Kodi for the frontend to NextPVR and while I was checking to see if the show had been scheduled correctly I clicked on the timer tab in Kodi TV and I saw that the show had a conflict marked next to it.
I went looking in the NextPVR web interface but I can't find out where the conflicts are listed. I connected to the PVR and launched the desktop app and the conflicts show up under the Scheduler menu.
Where do I find conflict recording in the web interface?
Also, is there a way to change the priority of scheduled recordings to decide which recording get skipped if there is a conflict?
After many years using version 4 on Windows I am trying to set up the latest version on linux:
AMD Phenom X6, 8GB ram
Linux Mint 21, fresh install
Nvidia Quadro K2200 graphics card
Installed NextPVR using the deb file
The only computer pvr options where I live (no OTA) are Hauppauge devices which have gotten very expensive (and mine are old and cranky) with limited or no linux capability, the HDMI encoder to IP boxes which remain a possibility and run $100 or more, or what I am hoping to do - use a couple of HDMI USB capture cards which cost about $25 on Amazon. Working towards that objective, I compiled ffmpeg with nvenc hardware encoding support. I can display 2 concurrently running windows with the captured streams from ffmpeg to standard output and piped to ffplay.
The next step in testing is to set these up as "extras” devices. Taking small steps at a time I copied the example extras xml and saved it as extras-test.xml in the /opt/var/nextpvr/system/data directory with nextpvr as owner and rights to read write.
That is where I am stuck. Rebooted (many times as I tried things) but on the settings/devices page I only have the default IPTV device listed.
Recording works perfectly fine, but live TV is completely broken. Web front end gives "Streaming failed (transcoder exited)" and the NLite client shows this
No, nothing is recording and the status of the tuners shows they aren't being used. When sitting idled (primed or not primed) both VLC, the web app, the web UI and NLite refuse to stream any content. I noticed this happened after renaming channels and haven't simply just re-scanned the tuner to try resolving it that way, mainly because I don't want to do the work of renaming all the channels all over again. What doesn't make sense is how recording is perfectly fine but live TV just flatout fails.
it seems unrelated, but I'm running NextPVR in a Ubuntu Server VM (hosted by TrueNAS Scale) and some channels are missing EPG. After looking at logs, I found that EPG xml contains Control Characters like SOH or DEL, which is probably an error from the channel, but instead of ignoring bad entries, it ignores all of them.
