I have a certain group on my IPTV where the first part of the channel name stays the same, but the second half of it changes daily.
Where I had this running through xTeve, when the playlist updated each day they would lose the channel numbers assigned to them (as the channel name is different each day).
I put it as a request, and the a dev who had forked it made some changes so that I could use regex to keep the channel numbers the same when it updates and the channel name changes, which is awesome.
I know that for probably 99% of people there would be no need to regularly do a channel update, but I wondered if there is any chance of maybe having a setting where you can pick a device to regularly (i.e. daily) carry out a manual update of the channel list. I realise normally you would select/unselect channels to import, but as my channels are pre-filtered through xTeve, if you could have an option to update "all" channels (for that device)?
Nextpvr is awesome, many thanks must go to the developers. I use Nextpvr with Kodi as frontend on a VPN. The network is 4G that has limited data usage account. The tv part works great. When i watch cable tv on the client with Kodi, i assume that the data bitrate is the default and highest of the cable tv capability. When watching for hours, lots of data is comsumed on the 4G data usage account.
I would like to know how to limit the bitrate / size of data that travels from the nextpvr server to the client. I know there is a config.xml and that has lots of numbers. What should be changed to accomplish the goal?
EDIT: It could be the streaming-bitrate that is needed to be changed. The recordings stored on the disk should still be full quality.

NextPVR has been working great until recently. Installed on Win 10 in March. Nothing has changed as far as I know. Suddenly new recordings will not play back. Click on play and just returns to recordings main screen. Saved programs previously recorded and played before the problem started will still play again. I've even tried to manually open the file on a right click in the client but that doesn't work either.
It's installed on two separate computers and both exhibit the same problems. Leads me to believe some Win 10 update screwed things up.
It also locks up if I try to select live TV.
I uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times and that didn't help.
For the longest time I have been using 2 minutes for my post-padding. Just last week I changed it to 1 minute, but noticed that all my recordings still have 2 minutes of extra time at the end. Do I need to do something else to force this new post-padding setting?
Thought it was time for someone to make a positive evaluation if this app. We have been using this app for the last 4 months (once I had the courage to cut the ties with NextPVR V4 and the NMT’s), with little or no issues. I am running the UI on 3 different brands of “smart” TVs and a Smartvu 4k SV11 dongle on an old 32” Samsung TV. One or other of the system will be in use for a large part of the day/evening. I now prefer to watch through the UI than the PC client as I did for years. Also switching servers is much easier then with the NMT.
There have been some issues with connection to the TVs on waking NextPVR but these appear to have been sorted by replacing the 2 old PVR’s with new Win 11 machines – and turning on “wake on LAN” in the Bios.
The skip in TS files is much more responsive than in the client and response time quicker than the NMT’s.
Having used MVP’s then NMT’s since they became available (10?, 15? years ago) I can say this UI is a definite step forward.
The negatives are not with the UI but the V5 client – it misses a number of features available in V4, that I had gotten used to. This is mostly because I use the video library for all the movies and leave the recording feature for the wife’s soaps etc. This trend started in the old GBPVR days.
Finally, I would like to thank Martin for his work on this and the earlier clients. You have made my wife happy over the years, being able to watch her “favourites” when she wants to, while I’m working away from home!
I am running NexPVR on Pi3 . I am using Kodi clients. TV source is older first generation HD Homerun Dual (Mpeg2) .
I see "dotnet" using over ~65% CPU usage when streaming a single stream. I really did not believe there was that much involved for the Pi to do this but I can see I am wrong. It makes me wonder if it is transcoding or something.
I just did similar tests with TV Headend and even viewing while recording , using BOTH channels of the HD Homerun I was far lower than 65% CPU usage.
How do I ensure that transcoding is not happening?
in transcoding I have:
Preferred streaming Profile = Default
Video Encoder- VAAPI
Recording auto transcode = Leave recordings in native format.
At this CPU usage, I can not use both channels of HD homerun and have CPU for other tasks. It is way more than TV Headend.
When watching npr recorded programs, my desktop sometimes freezes. The error I get when I push a bunch of random keys is "npvr is not responding" and it asks if I want to close the program or wait. I can close the program and then resume after starting it again. Waiting does not help and I have to reboot. This can happen as little as once per week or as often as 3 times per recording. I am running v4. Have had this issue for over a year. Any suggestions would be helpful. The zip logs were created after my computer froze 3 times in 15 minutes.
I just (had to) re-install Win10, it is a clean install. Now I'm trying to install NextPVR. I ran the setup, and tried to log in. But it took me to a blank page. I see NextPVR in my Windows Tray. But when I double click on it a box pops up with a giant red X. Then I get an Unhandled Exception Error. Note this is as far as I got.

Apologies if this is already mentioned somewhere, but I've been searching and I can't find the info I'm after.
I've set up NextPVR on my Linux box and I need to punch some holes in the firewall for it. The obvious port to open was tcp port 8866 (as I wish to access/control NextPVR from other machines on the network). After a bit of experimenting and googling, I also found out that udp port 16891 was needed for the Android/IOS app for NextPVR discovery. Indeed, running 'sudo ss -tulpn' lists all the listening ports on my machine, from which I notice that the NextPVR process is also listening on udp port 1901. Search as I might, I cannot find any info on this, so my question is, what does NextPVR use port 1901 for and have I missed any other ports it may use?
Trying to get my Tablo tuner installed on a Windows 11 NextPVR server Version 5.2.7.220410. I have .Net Core 3.1 installed but I still get this error. Also deleted the JSON file. I got it working on Windows 10 but I can't figure out what is wrong. Tablo Extra is 1.0.3.
Code:
C:\Program Files\NextPVR>TabloTV.exe install
Failed to load the dll from [C:\Program Files\NextPVR\hostfxr.dll], HRESULT: 0x800700C1
The library hostfxr.dll was found, but loading it from C:\Program Files\NextPVR\hostfxr.dll failed
- Installing .NET Core prerequisites might help resolve this problem.
