  Ubuntu install error message
Posted by: skris88 - 2022-05-04, 02:08 AM - Forum: Linux - Replies (11)

Hi, I am trying to newly install nPVR on my Ubuntu PC.  I am getting this response...

$ sudo apt install ./nextpvr-helper.deb --install-recommends

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'nextpvr-helper' instead of './nextpvr-helper.deb'
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


What can I do?

Thanks!

  Recording succeeds but transcoded file is deleted
Posted by: Nimoder - 2022-05-02, 08:15 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (20)

Recording and transcoding with Video Encoder set to CPU always succeeds.  However, changing the Video encoder to NVIDIA causes the transcoded file to be deleted.  After a recording finished successfully, I see that a new temp.MP4 file is created and the graphics processor (NVIDIA) begins its work.  After it finishes, the MP4 file disappears from the directory.  Sometimes the process would succeed and the .TS file is replaced by the .MP4 file.

When I reviewed the various log files, I found entries that indicated the resultant file appeared to be too small, and the MP4 file is deleted.  The following is an example of one such entry:

2022-05-02 13:02:36.484 [DEBUG][197] Dropping out (leaseGoodUntil 1:02:36 PM)
2022-05-02 13:08:13.616 [DEBUG][213] streamable conversion completed: "E:\data\Recordings\CTV News Toronto\CTV News Toronto_20220502_12001300.temp.mp4"
2022-05-02 13:08:13.616 [DEBUG][213] Looks too small (1052706960) ...deleting
2022-05-02 14:38:18.681 [DEBUG][9] PurgeOldDeletes()


The ffmpeg encoding options used were:
-y  -i "E:\data\Recordings\CTV News Toronto\CTV News Toronto_20220502_12001300.ts" -ignore_unknown -sn -fflags +genpts -movflags faststart -codec:v h264_nvenc -vf yadif=0:-1:0 -codec:a aac -strict experimental -ac 2 -ab 128k "E:\data\Recordings\CTV News Toronto\CTV News Toronto_20220502_12001300.t.mp4"

When I used the above options in a command line, I was able to produce a good MP4 file.  The file is just under 1 GB in size (970 MB).  The original TS file was 8 GB for a 1 hr program.

I searched the web for a solution but didn't find anything relevant.  Any suggestions?

  "I'm awake!" ping?
Posted by: clemon79 - 2022-05-02, 07:56 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (8)

So here's the issue I'm having:

I have NextPVR set up on a Windows box, using Kodi as a front end, set to sleep on 30 minutes of inactivity, and 5 minutes unattended sleep timeout, and it runs through the HDMI passthrough on my Xbox One X right now. Normally this works great for me.

But I'm looking ahead, and eventually the Xbox One X is probably going to get pulled out and moved into another room and I will just have the Xbox Series X in here. And often it's useful for me to use the Kodi client on the Xbox to access the DVR, so I have that set up as well. BUT: when I watch Live TV (with an HDHomeRun Prime, properly configured through NextPVR on the Windows box) the box will sleep when the 30 minutes expires.

I do not want to turn off that 30-minute sleep.

What I want is for NextPVR to send some kind of ping every few minutes to the OS when it's playing back LiveTV that says "hey, yo, Windows, still awake over here!" simply so Windows notes something is active and doesn't go to sleep.

Right now I'm playing around with SmartPower, which seemed like a good solution because I could set a network threshold (if more than 2Mbps are travelling over the network interface, then clearly its pumping out a video stream of some sort, so stay awake), but you have to give it full control over it telling your machine to sleep instead of simply being able to say "if these conditions are satisfied, stay up, otherwise let Windows do its thing" so I suspect it's not gonna work long-term.

Anyone have an idea how I could make that ping happen myself, or if that couple lines of code are something the devs would consider?

  Guidance on whether this is a good scenario for NextPVR
Posted by: markosjal - 2022-04-30, 05:27 PM - Forum: Linux - Replies (15)

Hello,

I have an older (Legacy) HD Homerun on the way. 

I want to use two Kodi clients

I have an existing xmltv list that comes off of one of the Kodi boxes with streaming sources.

I can get guide data for off air TV merged with that via Zap2EPG running on the Kodi box and write out the merged file to wherever.

A couple of questions after looking at the Web GUI configuration...

I see I can upload the merged XMLTV file, but I do not believe that includes the actual channels which I think are in a separate Playlist file. 

Will I actually be able to record on Raspberry Pi 3 Back-end with the legacy HD Homerun as a source?

  Video Corruption during playback on Android
Posted by: boringgit - 2022-04-28, 03:31 PM - Forum: Other Clients - Replies (4)

Any help on the below appreciated – I've been looking but I lack the terminology to Google effectively

I usually watch my NPVR recordings on Windows. Most of the time Kodi, sometimes Plex – rarely any issues. Occasional heavy server load or very bad weather when recording being entirely understandable exceptions.

When travelling, or exiled by wife and MIL I do find myself watching on Android – again, Kodi or Plex. Most recordings will play fine and then video will become corrupt. Audio is fine, but the corrupt video will not fix itself. The only (and perfectly easy) way to fix it is to stop playback, then start again a few seconds after the corruption. 

The same recording may or may not (mostly will) do the same thing a few times. The annoyance here  is that it will often not restart at the right place and you have to skip here there and everywhere…

This doesn’t happen In Windows so I don’t think it’s an NPVR issue, rather a blip in the recording is killing the android codec? (I don’t know – hence this post).

A few notes – this may well be an HD only issue (I don’t watch many SD recordings)
I can’t do any kind of auto transcoding because wile I only watch HD I share the box with somebody who only watches SD
I’d really like to look into the Android bit and see if I can work around it there.
 
Any help appreciated as usual!

  Unexpected error scanning for other devices
Posted by: storm37000 - 2022-04-27, 06:32 PM - Forum: Linux - Replies (6)

This is a fresh install of NextPVR on Manjaro.  I have a Hauppauge 950Q and it is not picking it up (Kaffeine does). When I go to scan for devices in the web interface settings, this error occurs.

Code:
[33] Unexpected error scanning for other devices: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (13): Permission denied    at System.Diagnostics.Process.ForkAndExecProcess(String filename, String[] argv, String[] envp, String cwd, Boolean redirectStdin, Boolean redirectStdout, Boolean redirectStderr, Boolean setCredentials, UInt32 userId, UInt32 groupId, UInt32[] groups, Int32& stdinFd, Int32& stdoutFd, Int32& stderrFd, Boolean usesTerminal, Boolean throwOnNoExec)    at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartCore(ProcessStartInfo startInfo)    at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start()    at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(ProcessStartInfo startInfo)    at NShared.Visible.CaptureSource.UpdateDevices(ICaptureSourceUpdateStatus callback)

Rainbow Keying Channel Numbers
Posted by: boggydoggy - 2022-04-27, 06:25 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (17)

It would be of immense benefit to me and I'm sure others if the standard desktop version of NPVR would let you select a new channel while watching another using the keyboard (Windows 11) - in the same way that the UI client lets you. The latter doesn't work for me as it cannot transcode quickly enough and sound is very noisy.

Thanks.

  NextPVR v5.x memory leak?
Posted by: terabitz - 2022-04-27, 03:32 PM - Forum: NextPVR Support - Replies (13)

For some time now, my NextPVR install has been exceeding 1,000,000 K of memory in Windows 10. I don't know exactly when it started, but I began noticing it a month or so ago. The only way to stop it was to restart the NextPVR Service, but then it would gradually climb back up to that value again.

Today, I did a fresh reinstall and the problem is still happening.

Any idea what's going on? I've attached my logs.

Thank you.
