You know of my issues with synchronization. I've been using Yauiclient, which has a lot of lagging, even while using the skip function instead of the arrow. Crashes the backend, have to reboot (unless there is a command to restart the backend?) Subtitles in Yauiclient are problematic after commercials, freezing the commercial ending subtitle, requiring turning off and then back on the subtitles to clear it.
Anyway, this post is about failed recordings. I go to start watching a show, like the news, and after a few seconds the recording ends, even though NPVR says it is still recording. I then cancel the recording, and then immediately hit Quick Record, and it works fine, every time. I also have failed recordings, No errors but no data delivered, says due to failure to lock a signal. But, again every time I manually watch through Yauiclient live, every single time it's clear and no issue. And, no issues watching live via the TV either.
I have attached the logs from a few days ago where I had the news experience, hitting cancel, then quick record and watching, without issue. Hoping that some pending update is going to resolve these issues.
On the reception side, we put in the new antenna and removed the signal booster, at Martin's suggestion. No change. Then I added a 5g filter out of desperation, no change.
I've configured my HDHR Flex 4K and I can watch and record Live TV from nextpvr web client but the TV Guide shows all (no listings).
I've created an xmltv.xml file with OTA listings from Gracenote and copied it to the config directory in the Docker container.
From Settings > Guide > Add XMLTV Channel Lineup I've specified config/xmltv.xml.
From Settings > About > Update EPG I get the message:
Im trying to get Nextpvr running on Ubuntu 24.04 HWE desktop using a Hauppauge Dual HD tuner. Nextpvr correctly identifies the tuner on the Devices page and dmesg | grep -i hauppauge shows appropriate info, (Linux version 6.17.0-14260204-generic (buildd@lcy02-amd64-059) (x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc-13 (Ubuntu 13.3.0-6ubuntu2~24.04) 13.3.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.42) #0+mediatree+hauppauge~hwe-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Feb 8 (Ubuntu 6.17.0-14260204.0+mediatree+hauppauge~hwe-generic 6.17.9), but no /dev/dvb at all. So scanning for channels immediately fails with no device node detected. Im suspecting a permissions issue and I am in the nextpvr group with rwx permissions on everything in /var/opt/nextpvr and /opt/nextpvr. I dont know if there are other folders that need checking. Logs attached.

Hi all,
I'm giving a try to use NP on my raspberry pi 5 with a TV-hat but I'm having some problems, that I hope someone could help me to fix.
First of all I confirm that the HW is working since I'm using it tvheadend.
Permissions seems ok
Code:
# id nextpvr
uid=997(nextpvr) gid=985(nextpvr) groups=985(nextpvr),29(audio),44(video),992(render)
# ls -ltR /dev/dvb
/dev/dvb:
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 100 Jan 29 19:48 adapter0

NextPVR has a default configuration expecting that your are working on the localhost. but if you work on a different server the first connection could be a little bit more tricky.
For those dummy like me I write this little guide to explain how to connect on a remote server running NextPVR
then restart the server with the following command
Code:
$ sudo systemctl restart nextpvr-server.service
Now connect with your browser to the server at the address http://x.x.x.x:8866 using the Username you set in the previous step and password as password.
Once you are logged in go to the settings page > Access > and set the password to something more unique.
You are ready to go!
Hope it could help someone like me to do not wast time to find a solution to this "problem"
For now, the "Search" works for pure ASCII characters. When somebody tries to use e.g. accented characters (like áéíščž...), the search will find nothing - perheaps due to character encoding mismatch.
Sometimes it is possible to select differrent word(s) to narrowing the list and select the wanted recording manually, but sometimes it is not.
It would be nice to have allowed international characters in search.
Usually, I schedule recording from the "TV Guide" page. If the program name contains ellipsis "...", e.g. "Nesnesitelná lehkost bytí, Unbearable Lightness of Being, The, Velikáni filmu... Juliette Binocheová", the recording fails. Inside devide-adapter0.log I found this:

Trying to record to a local NAS from a Windows 10 installation of NextPVR.
I mapped network drive, F:, to the IP of the NAS 192.168.50.4. In NextPVR, I am unable to see drive F under settings "General" and "Recording Directory." I read that I need to switch NextPVR Service from Local System account to a user account, which I did. While I am able to record locally with that changed, I still am unable to see the F drive when trying to change the recording directory.
I have tried manually entering the location, "\\192.168.50.4\Recordings or "D:\Recordings" all of which do not record to.
I saw that there was a thread from 2009 about a utility called ShareHelper but have been unable to find an actual download for that (I could not find it on the wiki).
I often record NBA games with NextPVR and start watching them at some point while the recording is still going on. When I watch these games in KODI the playback is unreliable. I will watch a few minutes and then it will go back 30 seconds and start playing the same part again. I have attached logs for the most recent occurrence (2/8/26) of this behavior. Please advise. Thanks.
My provider has some channels with no EPG, and the programming information for the day in the channel name. Accordingly this name changes every day. I'm wondering if there's a way to schedule a nightly refresh of the device channels (not the EPG) so this can always be kept current.
I've looked around, but haven't been able to find a specific guide that works for this.
