Recently got a new TV and installed uidroid and updated NPVR on the "server".
When I watch a recording on the "android tv", it is usually fine, however when I watch live TV is only works occasionally. Some channels never work, some usually work, but there is no pattern (I checked which frequencies they are on and no correlation).
The logs from the server suggest that nothing is going wrong at the server end.
See attached sections of logs.
If I use the web interface on the TV, I can watch live TV no problem.
Where should I look?
I'm running ver 6 and was wanting to update epg manually instead of using the update epg on the settings page. Is there a command line switch that works for updating the epg just like clicking update epg on the settings page?
Just updated to v6. Thanks for all of your hard work. I was thinking for my hauppauge wintv clear qam tuners, it would be great if nextpvr displayed the atsc channel numbers instead of randomly assigning a channel. Thanks.
The problem is that my NextPVR v5.27 "Settings" does not have a "Decoders" screen. I have a "Transcoder" choice. Obsolete error message?
The complete error message is: "Missing audio? You don't have a AC3 decoder selected. You can fix this on the Settings->Decoders screen."
This is a "showstopper" because the error message times out, and then the recorded video is NOT played. If I run NextPVR using a browser (127.0.0....), then the recorded TV show plays both video and sound, albeit the newly installed Comskip does not skip commercials as it should. Logs are attached.
I'm running NPVR4.2.5 on Windows 10 (up to date) and have installed uidroid 1.5.8 on my "android tv". It tells me
"Installation information Version: 1.5.8
Donator: false Server: 192.168.1.243 Online false"
I can select the server, but nothing else is happening.
I can access npvr on the tv via the web.
I've been using Ranbato's docker image with comskip for awhile now on my Unraid server, and it's worked amazingly until the 6.0 update.
To test that it wasn't a problem unique to their docker image, I tested a fresh install with NextPVR's official 6.0 Dockerhub image.
When starting to play live OTA tv from my HDHomeRun Flex 4K, from the built-in webplayer, at the bottom center, the status gets stuck on "Starting Device. Please Wait..." and eventually times out to "Streaming Failed (transcoder exited)." It has the same problem with all channels.
When trying to play a channel with version 6.0, and while it is hanging on Starting Device, the status for the HDHomeRun Flex 4K shows that one of the tuners is in use for the selected channel.
When it eventually times out to Streaming Failed, the tuner status updates to not in use
I also downgraded my Ranbato's image to 5.2.7.220410 and everything plays and works as expected.
The attached logs are from the fresh 6.0 NextPVR image install.
Here is the template and command Unraid uses to start the fresh 6.0 official image container:

--restart unless-stopped
'nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64'
The time set in (Settings/Devices & Channels/Guide) is set to 02:44:00 and if I change it to a different time is automatically returns to 02:44:00.
My computer is off overnight during the Automatic EPG time, but my EPG information is always up-to-date.
Is there a backup setting somewhere for this situation?
Let me know if I need to send logs.

NextPVR V5's Recording Service crashed this morning at around 7:38 AM CST. The NextPVR Service itself kept on running and had to be manually restarted to fix it. I backed up the logs beforehand and I have attached them to this post. I want to know what went wrong and what I can do to prevent this from happening in the future, if anything at all.
I'm worried Windows 10 might have something to do with it, since I also returned to the computer to see that Windows File Explorer had also seemed to have restarted since I last checked on the computer. Checking the System Log in the Windows Event Viewer, there seems to have been a number of errors related to the Service Control Manager that cropped up around the time that NextPVR failed. I've copied the Events that might be relevant and compiled them inside the WindowsSystemLog-2022-09-11_07h00.txt text file that I have also attached to this post inside of a ZIP file.
Needless to say, as usual, I am absolutely livid, as this is the last thing I should need to have to personally babysit. However, as I've said, I have a sneaking suspicion that Windoze might be at fault for this failure, since NextPVR has actually been relatively well behaved since upgrading from V4 to V5. Still, I want to be absolutely sure, which is why I'm making a forum post. I want to do everything I can to prevent this from happening again, and losing more historical news that I can never get back.
