I'm in Sydney, Australia, and I'm an NRL (National Rugby League) fan.
In order to record all available Free-to-Air games on Sydney Channel 9 HD, I have several series schedules configured. The Nine Network normally broadcasts 3 games per week, on Thursday night, Friday night, and Sunday afternoon. When the competition series commencement date is approaching, I will locate it in the programme guide, and set it to record the full series. This gives me 3 dirrerent series, one for Thursday, one for Friday and one for Sunday. Later in the year, the Nine Network also broadcasts the Saturday night game, and accordingly, I will configure a new series for Saturday nights. When all 25 competition rounds have been played, I will then configure the NRL Finals, which the Nine Network broadcasts in its entirety. I have also configured NextPVR to include 1 minute of "Pre-padding" and 30 minutes of "Post-padding," in an attempt to take into account games which run overtime for one reason or another.
The program titles have remained consistent over the last few years, and although most games were successfully recorded in their entirety, I have recently been having problems with recordings stopping early, and failing to record the end of a game. For example, today, I have a game scheduled for recording to commence at 14:59 (15:00 actual start time), and to finish at 18:30, (17:59 actual finishing time). This would result in a recording which would also include approximately the first half of the Nine Sunday Evening News, which starts at 18:00. Unfortunately, this afternoon, the recording unaccountably stopped at 16:25, and in order to record the 2nd Half of the game, I had to record it manually.
I have no idea why this happened, and I'm attaching my log files, in the hope that somebody might be kind enough to look through them and provide me with an explanation for this apparent error.
I am running Windows 10 Pro v21H2, and NextPVR v6.0.0.220904. (See screenshots attached).
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards to all

I've been having problems with scheduling certain series recordings, mostly because the broadcast often runs overtime, up to 30 minutes or more, and adding 30 extra minutes of "padding" works only intermittently.
I'm in Sydney, Australia, and I enjoy watching certain sporting events, particularly the National Rugby League Competition (NRL), and whilst I have mostly been able to record complete games, every now and then, the device will stop recording before a game has finished. This can be due to the extra "padding" minutes being insufficient, but sometimes it can stop for no apparent reason.
I'm now running Windows 10, finally upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate. Upgrading to Windows 10 meant that I could no longer use Windows Media Center.
Windows Media Center supported EIT, as well as the ability to stop and save a recording when the programme was actually complete, avoiding the necessity of waiting for the "padding" minutes to pass. This meant that I could make shorter recordings of the correct programme length, with concomitant reduced file sizes, often up to 2GB smaller.
Unfortunately, NextPVR seems neither to provide support for EIT nor for Stop and Save recordings, the only option being "Cancel," which results in the recording being deleted.
I'm hoping that the developers of this software might be able to include this support in a future version.
Thanks for reading.

I have been using npvr for many years with the living room TV connected via HDMI to a windows computer. I can use a WMC remote, wireless keyboard or wireless mouse.
I now would like to put a TV in the bedroom and would like to be able to watch npvr without having another box and just using the TV remote control.
I could get a TV with a "full internet browser" and use the npvr web server, but I don't know how I would skip or fast forward through adverts with a TV remote.
I have set up a "smart tv" (for someone else) in the past using DLNA and that TV remote had >> and << buttons, so that worked okay, perhaps I just need a TV with the right remote buttons?
I would imagine if I use an app on the tv I would still have the same issue.
Any ideas or recommendations for TVs that will do the job?
I just downloaded the V6 installer and ran it, for some reason it did not download V6, it just ran locally and I ended up with an earlier version V5 than what I started with!
Running an older installer I already had updated it V6.
I have 4 computers running NextPVR version 6, and they all have the same problem;
I can record TV channel programs and watch the recordings both during it being recorded, and after it has completed recording.
But I can not find any way to watch a live TV channel program, it just freezes displaying ...Please wait...
I updated to Version 6 the day it came out, and it installed and ran fairly well, but slowly developed problems with stopping while
viewing a live TV channel and freezing up. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Version 6 many times, and it seemed to get worse with
every reinstall.
Fortunately, I did not update one other computer which is still running NextPVR version 5, and it runs normally without any problems.
Hi,
I ususally forget to "forget" programs that I delete because of last-minute schedule changes so have to then remember to look for them to record them when re-scheduled.
I am happy to edit the DB3 table so can I simply delete them from the table or will that break anything?
Thanks,
Stanno
I have been using NPVR happily for years with the living room TV plugged into the Windows PC. I would like to get a TV for the bedroom that can access the NPVR remotely. At first glance it looks like I will need to install an app on a smart TV, and Samsung seems to be mentioned most.
What do I need to look for in a smart TV? brands? any specific models or features to look for? any particular models?
When first testing NextPVR on Ubuntu I added several devices (IPTV) and got like 30k+ channels from them, now I've decided to use only one service with only 2,000 channels for all recording purposes so I would like to remove all of the rest from my set up.
I've tried removing the channels by going into Settings -> Channels select batches and click the remove icon, this is done correctly but when I go into the device and add all the channels again but they continue from the numbering from before. Is there a way to delete a channels folder/file while the service is down which will allow me to have a clean slate device and channel wise?
