Lets start by saying I am not sure if this is a problem or not.
While researching another topic happened to find myself in the '/var/opt/nextpvr' folder where I came across a file called 'logs\transcode.txt' (attached). It seems to date from March 4th 2022 but doesn't seem to have been updated since then. I am not sure where it came from or what created it - seems related to transcoding but I don't knowingly use transcoding.
Does it tell me anything useful ? Is it important and if not can I get rid of it ?
Hello,
Recently I encountered an unable to open aborted action message a few times while tryin to open some channels. They were WLS WBBM WMAQ channels at around 5:05 PM EST and then got a dreaded white box with a red X in it. The white box with the red X was at about 6:06 PM EST. I would like to know if the unable to open was a cause of my channels provider or was it within NextPVR.
As always Thank you,
Bruce
I have a dedicated Beelink Android MiniMX iii v2 with 2G RAM running Armbian with a manual install of NextPVR and everything seems to work really nicely.
I have an XBOX TV Tuner installed and tuned to UK WhitehawkHill transmitter. It is line of sight and good signal.
Frustratingly I am missing a few odd channels from a couple of mulitplexes. Quest, Quest +1 are two I can think of. The original channels lists for Whitehawk were completely out of date so I made my own channel list from the current information on the UKTVfree website. The text is shown below. I have tried every aerial in my loft and on my roof. I have several to save splitting the signal. Nothing changes the total of 79 channels discovered. I have also tried another DVB-T tuner without DVB-T2 and it just finds the same non-HD subset of channels.
I have looked at the logs while tuning and there are no errors. Does anyone have any ideas for anything I could try to fill in the missing channels please? Is there any way of doing a full scan in case my file is to blame?
I am using the npvr docker (on Unraid) with a Megasat MEG-8000 SatIP server.
If I request recordings of two channels on the same mux the second channel knocks off the first (ie the first record is terminated with a stop time equal to the time the second program record starts, the first program is unhighlighted in the web program guide, however npvr still gives me a "cancel record" option on the first program).
Tested in the attached logs with BBC2 HD and CBBC HD.
The same hardware will pull two channels off the same mux in TVheadend and dynamically takes a second physical tuner if needed. Npvr has no problem with two simultaneous records on different frequencies.
I get jerky playback on most shows. Then it will go to commercial and play great. Then the next commercial might be jerky. It's like some commercials and shows are too high quality or too high frame rate and the tuner or something is struggling.
The issue is the same in the web app, desktop app, vlc, and kodi.
Are there any settings I can try? Is there a way to troubleshoot this?
Hello, I would like to request added a way to call the built in archive feature in V5 from a website url or cmd line and/or in the Kodi plugin if possible.
Decoder settings which completely resolve audio/video syncing problems where the audio/video do not sync a lot of the time when watching live TV or recorded TV and occasionally freezing the screen;
As I've been running GB-PVR and NextPVR for so many years I've had many drives for recordings over the years. I've had a few issues over the years including a HDD that kept randomly going to sleep and at some point somehow managing to corrupt the database.
Over the weekend I moved all these files to a drive on my NAS and in doing this realised that I have quite a few recordings that are not showing in the recordings database but the files are present.
I'm wanting to run a script to basically give me a list of all of these files and match them up with the database and show me the discrepancies. I don't need to import all these files (I appear to maybe have 60+ nights of 6pm news from over the years that I really don't need!) so I'm happy to manually delete those that I don't want.
Is there then a way to import the files I do want so they'll map to the correct recording name in the database? I saw another post on here from a few years back that refers to a script there was no link to it that I could fine. Looking on these forums I see nextimport exists - but I'm not sure if that can be run on the existing recordings folder to do what I want.
