I have created multiple recording directories and would like to set different recurring recordings to go to different directories.  When updating a recurring recording that is type of Advanced, the directory selected does not persist on the UI.  

See the attached screenshots.  In the example, I have an advanced recurring recording titled Tonight Show.  I set the directory to "shows" and I can see this reflected in the database.  However, when I refresh the UI and go back to the recurring recordings the directory shows as "Default".  When I look at a pending recording, that also shows as "Default" even after a full EPG update.

I have also observed that when changing the directory for one advanced recurring recording, then when you open another advanced recurring recording the directory is still set to the value from the previous recording.  For example, I have recurring recoring A and recurring recoring B.  I set A to directory "shows", then go into B and see that it too is set to "shows".  If I set B to "sports" then when I go back to A it is set to "sports".  From what I can tell, it looks like the UI is not loading the directory value from the database all the time.

I am running version 5.2.7.220410 on Docker.

Hi all

After trial & error - I finally have my IPTV setup mostly working. 

The only issue now is most of the channel icons don't load on one playlist.  

I have attempted to readd the playlist, change image sources, restarting the server- hotlinking from another source - all produce the same result. 

Posting here is a last resort.

Please can someone advise.

Thanks

Not sure this would be here in NPVR or Kodi.. but.. I have noticed for some time when I play audio urls through other players..vlc in particular, that the stream has various information along with it. Is it possible to add that in or has someone made something. I haven't looked any deeper, but would it use the same format that is used in digital FM broadcasts..

Any ideas why my fonts are all squished? it's been like it a while just never got around to looking at it. Win10 + latest NPVR.

    I've been struggling with this one for a while now.

When I try to play recordings before early December last year I get an error.

I'm attaching part of the kodi.log where the first item gets the error but the second doesn't.

The nextpvr client plays them fine.

I am running NextPVR v5 and Kodi 19.4 on my laptop

I installed nextpvr on vps server

How can I change port 8866 to another?

Hi guys - I'm running the latest version of NextPVR running on Debian 11 with all updates applied on an ESXi 7 virtual machine with 2vCPU's, 4GB RAM and a 60GB HDD.

I have added my IPTV M3U8 playlist and EPG (source is Xeev for both)

I have found that several channels I receive a transcoder failure using either the web player or the Android client.

I cleaned my logs and have attached the log after attempting to play one of the problematic channels (ITV 4 FHD)

My ffmpeg version is as follows:-

Hello,

For a long time I was using a Compro e900f as DVB-T tuner for NextPVR. I wasn't using it much recently (lack of time, good programs and availability of netflix), but it was nice to have, for news or some live reports. Now, DVB-T has been switched off in favour of DVB-T2, so if I want to keep DVB-T I will have to upgrade. I have a satellite dish but it is not connected at the moment as reception is difficult and most of the free to air channels on DVB-T2 are not broadcasted FTA on DVB-S - my DVB-S receiver is a Technisat SkyStar HD (it is seen in Windows but as it is not connected I'm not sure if it receives well).
For viewing, I use a projector in one room and a TV in another room, both connected to the same HTPC (the TV is not connected to terrestrial nor satellite).

So I'm looking at some tuner replacement solution... I could forgo the whole thing as I was not using it much anyway, but it is fun to play with such things.

An additional aspect is that I started having a use for the analog inputs (composite/component) of the e900f, but cannot get them to work. Even though the driver is a signed Windows 10 driver, I cannot get a signal on the analog inputs - I've tried various software but will still test further - next weekend I'll reinstall Windows. It would be nice to have the card as capture card, but I may have to write it off - I may still post with questions on the capture part though .

Initially I thought of getting a network tuner, but that would still leave me without the capture functionality. New PCIe cards seem to be missing the analog inputs, USB tuners also do not have them... And a sat-receiver such as a GigaBlue 4k Trio is not that much more expensive than a USB receiver and would receive both dvb-s and dvb-t2. It should work as a Sat>IP server, allowing me to receive the channels on NextPVR (also directly on the TV, without using the htpc if I connect the decoder to the TV).
I could complement it with a simple usb capture device (capture is not for high quality purposes) and consider both aspects separately.

The Hauppauge hvr5525 seems to be the best match to my current card, including capture, dvb-t2 and even dvb-s https://www.hauppauge.co.uk/site/product...r5525.html
It is a single tuner, but given that everything is broadcasted on three muxes, I assume I can record and watch as long as the channel is on the same mux?

The TBS5520SE Multi-standard TV Tuner USB Box seems to be a good usb option, foregoing the analog inputs but supporting dvb-s2x (but I don't know if I need this ever).

A bit of a lengthy story story, and I'll have to figure it out.... Just to help me a bit:
- Does a dvb-s receiver which claims to be a Sat>IP server work with NextPVR?
- Any benefits to PCIe tuner cards (quality/stability wise)?
- Is watching one channel and recording another possible if both are on the same mux on dvb-t2?
- Do usb-capture devices do an adequate job?

Thanks!

I recently made the switch from running NextPVR on my Raspberry Pi to running Next PVR on MacOS 10.15 .

Along with finding out that I can no longer use the "friendlytv for channels" script because Next PVR on MacOS will apparently not load those channels. 

Now most recently I went and tested another PVR, (TV Mosaic) that picked up my older HD Homerun Dual and I told it to scan. Since doing that I can no longer access the HD Homerun from NextPVR . Broadcast Channels from HDHomerun simply do not play on NextPVR

I can still use the HDHR app on Windows to view it , and TV Mosaic was working with it (now uninstalled) . I just can not get it back working with NextPVR

Sure would be nice to find a PVR that "just works" I am about to throw in the towel.

I wanted to test this script for USTVGo benmoose39/ustvgo_to_m3u: Grabs m3u links from ustvgo.tv (github.com) , which resolves the urls from USTVGo and puts them in a list.

The problem I am having is that the URLS get updated and NextPVR is unaware of the updates. If I go into the admin Interface of NextPVR I can go to devices, click on the "device" then click on update channels then apply and the channels start working again.  

How do I ensure that NextPVR does this on its own at a reasonable interval? I do not see where to adjust it anywhere.

While I am here maybe someone also knows how to convert these json schedules (https://ustvgo.tv/tvguide/national.json) to xml?


Thanks

Mark
