Hi

I have NextPVR setup for remote access in Kodi and I share my freesat with my family.  Is it possible to keep each users recording separate from one another, so they only have access to their own recordings?

As far as I can tell there is no option for user accounts, but what about if I set up different login accounts for NextPVR, using the same sat-ip device and specifying different recording folders for each account?

Hi all, new member here. This is my first post so please let me know if something isn't right.

I started using NextPVR on an older W11 Home PC and it worked so well that I decided to get a  new, dedicated Mini PC for home theater use. Purchased a Beelink SER8, Ryzen 7 8745HS, running W11 Pro. Installing my IPTV credentials on the older PC, and a newer laptop also running W11 Home, was no problem. However, all attempts to install the M3u or Extream codes on the new Mini PC have failed resulting in the following error message: " Failed to download channel list: An error occurred while sending the request ". The message appears immediately and, yes, I'm sure that they are being entered correctly, no errors.

I know that the credentials are good, they work fine on the other 2 W11 Home PC's and an Android player. I also installed NextPVR in Kodi on the older PC and it works fine. I just cannot get the credentials to work on the new PC. The only differences, that I can see, are that the new Mini PC is using an AMD chip and running W11 Pro. I'm pretty sure that this is a machine / OS related problem as I've tried another IPTV player and VLC in the new PC and they, also, will not download the channel list from my provider.

At this point I'm looking for some advice from experienced users as I'm obviously missing something. I've tried to attach my logs but am not sure if I've done it correctly. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi
I have NextPVR set up receiving feed from my Sky Satellite dish via a Kathrein EXIP418 Sat to IP server.  TV and Radio channels are working well but I have no program guide information for the radio channels.  Log attached.  Thanks

Is there any way to get NextPVR to only use audio streams with a language tag?

I am using NextPVR with Jellyfin and Jellyfin always seems to use the narration audio stream rather than the regular English one, even though I have use English as priority over the default stream.  This seems to be a well documented issue.  I was wondering could I get round it by forcing NextPVR to only provide the English tagged stream?

Hi
I currently use Caddy as a reverse proxy to access Jellyfin remotely.  I have configured NextPVR to work with Jellyfin, unfortunately the playback and recording via the Jellfin plugin are a bit clunky, and I get regular crashes of Jellyfin.  NextPVR works so much better in Kodi, but I would also like to be able to remote access.

My original Caddyfile to access Jellyfin remotely is

MyDomain {
encode gzip
    reverse_proxy localhost:8096
}

I tried to change it to

MyDomain {
encode gzip
    reverse_proxy localhost:8096
    reverse_proxy localhost:8866
}

I though If I typed the domain with the port it would give me access to NextPVR, but I just get "this site can't be reached"

I then tried

MyDomain:8096 {
encode gzip
    reverse_proxy localhost:8096
}
MyDomain:8866 {
encode gzip
    reverse_proxy localhost:8866
}

This stops my Jellyfin server from starting

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I am currently using 7.0.1.241229.  The EPG scheduled update doesn't seem to work for me, so I run a nightly job using the Windows scheduler.  That job does update the epg.xml successfully.  But how do I then tell nextpvr to import guide data from the updated epg.xml file?

I tried restarting nextpvr at the end of the update script thinking that would trigger it, but found that I got no EPG data at all doing it that way.  I'm sure there is a simple way to do it, but searches seemed to only turn up methods that worked in older nextpvr versions.  

How can I trigger NextPVR to import guide data from the updated epg.xml?

I visited my computer shop this week and I was told, during a conversation about costs of upgrading, that W11 may not support my hauppauge devices.  And that they're not manufactured any more, as 'everyone' is streaming.  What are folks doing about this?  I don't stream, satellite is too expensive for that (don't suggest I support Musk), so I want to continue recording free to air TV.

Updating the M3U on a schedule with the ability to filter channel groups would be slick. This way would not need to incorporate an outdated 3rd party solution like xteve to filter and manipulate the IPTV provider M3U and refresh.

Hi all,
Had my first recording failures for a very long time last evening.  I had five programmes due to record and three of them failed with an error I haven't seen before "The operation timed out".
If anyone can throw any light on what may have caused this I would appreciate it. Thanks.

I'm new to NextPVR and have recently set it up to work with my IPTV provider. The setup went smoothly, and I'm able to watch live TV without issues. However, I'm encountering some difficulties when it comes to recording IPTV channels.

Specifically, when I schedule a recording, it doesn't always start at the correct time, and sometimes the recordings are incomplete or fail entirely. I've double-checked the EPG data, and it seems accurate. I'm wondering if there are specific settings or best practices for recording IPTV streams effectively.

Here are some details about my setup:

NextPVR Version: 5.2.7.220410slice maste

Operating System: Windows 10 Pro

IPTV Source: M3U playlist with XMLTV EPG

Recording Directory: D:\Recordings

I've read through some forum posts and the wiki but haven't found a definitive answer. Could someone please advise on the optimal settings for recording IPTV channels?
