I have nextpvr setup through docker on ubuntu.
Everything seems to be working fine when I play a single stream. As soon as I start another stream on another device the first stream stops(all from the same household) as soon as the second stream starts.
In "Devices" I have max-connections at 16.
Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing?
so, my current setup has a raspberry pi getting gif's from my local weather station....radar, 7 day forcast, warnings...etc, etc. how this is done is irrelevant.
I then create a html slideshow that is being fed out the HDMI port into a ASTC modulator, then that is fed into my USB tuner device.
There is a lot of overhead here and I know there has to be a way to simplify this.
I know that VLC can stream the desktop out so this would be optimal if I can create a stream the nextpvr IPTV device or extra can work with.
My question is what settings should I be using to do this??
I have been playing around with this for a couple of days and cant seem to get it to work
Has anybody done anything like this?
settings for VLC and nextpvr would be greatly appreciated
I see on the wiki that LAV is recommended as the decoders. Used to be SAF many years ago, but see has not been updated for quite a while.
Just installed the new version of NPVR on my parents HTC, and they complaining about getting stuck skipping forward and sound issues. Sounds like decoder niggles to me.. I have LAV installed, is SAF still worth a go ? Used to work fine back when I ran a HTPC..
Also, I assume the decoders not required when using the new web interface ?
Just a thought that I and or others would find handy would be a scheduled batch transcode option.
It has been observed that on the fly transcoding during recordings seriously degrades efficiency while watching other channels.
But what if there was an option to set up transcoding during off peak hours? Say nightly at 3am, weekly at 3am, or monthly at 3am...etc.
Yes there are stand alone scripts and softwares that could do this but transcoding is already a part of nextpvr.
First of all not sure if this is a nextpvr problem or a windows problem but a few days ago my setup sulfured catastrophic failure (the PC died) so I set up a whole new computer with a fresh win10 install and everything reconfigured but now I cannot get some channels working again.
Here is the thing, I have the same python script I used in the previous setup to get a stream address which is working just fine but now the stream fails to play. First I thought it may be a version issue but it wont play in VLC either. when I check the logs in VLC it says something about security certificates. I have done some googling and have done everything I can find but nothing helps. Anybody have any ideas or has seen this before?
Second issue,
While setting up the new system I found a couple of IPTV channels I really like and require no extra scripts to play. the problem is on nextpvr they will play for about 20-30 seconds then die, but on VLC I watched for 3 hours straight. Is there any reason why nextpvr cant keep these channels alive when VLC can?
Any help with either of these issues would be greatly appreciated.
Saw a few mentions on the forums of this being one of the few missing v5 features. I'm aware it probably has a limited number of folks using this as a feature, but is there still any plans on implimenting this natively into v5 without the need to do SAT->IP? It would be really nice to see and I don't feel it should fully just be ruled out from v5.
TVheadend -> IPTV -> NextPVR is a nightmare since TVheadend doesn't seem to play ball with their m3u streams (usually, I get it to work once in VLC then never again. Just endlessly loads).
Then again, if this feature is being ditched completely, is their a solid guide for SAT->IP anywhere?
I've been using v5 for a while now but recently I have ths issue when trying to play Live TV, I can play recordings fine.I've added an additional tuner recently and rescanned channels but apart from that can't think of any other changes..
