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.
Works great for a couple of years now, but tweaking it. I want to include a channels.m3u playlist and epg.xmltv guide.
If I place them in the /config folder I can add them, but I would rather map a onedrive folder as the epg updates each day.
Other that /buffer /recordings or /config, can I get access to another folder to use?
Quote:When I Update EPG, this line is displayed: "EPG Update, [0 inserted, 0 updated, 0 skipped)]". There are no program listings in the TV Guide, but otherwise it looks normal. I have a new Linux NextPVR v5 installed with Schedules Direct that I think it is setup correctly. There are no errors resulting from the SD Username and Password that I am using.
The npvr log shows related shell scripts are missing. I searched the entire hard drive and they are not on my computer anywhere. I am stuck. Part of log for the time I updated the EPG is :

I can successfully connect from an external IP address to my home server running NextPVR v5.2.6 on Windows 10 21H2 using any of the following methods:
1. Using Kodi by configuring the NextPVR plugin to go to <homeip> and port 8866 (PIN required)
2. Using Edge, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari by browsing to http://<homeip>:8866 (login required)
3. Using VLC by opening a network stream at http://<homeip>:8866/live?channel=<x> (no login required)
However, I just can't seem to get the NextPVR app for iOS to work.
I bought it from the app store a few days ago and installed in on my iPhone 12 running iOS 15.3.1. I carefully followed the directions in the sticky post on this thread and first disabled the NextPVR service before configuring the app. I then set it up to access <homeip>:8866 and reenabled the NextPVR service. The app definitely connects to NextPVR (if I stop the service the app immediately reports that it's been disconnected) but:
(a) It doesn't prompt for any authentication when it starts up
(b) It won't display anything. No guide, no recordings, no TV channels.
The same behavior occurs whether direct stream is disabled or enabled. Further checks show that the app works fine if my iPhone is connected to the local LAN, but if I'm just one router-hop away from my local LAN it simply stops working.
How do you login to nextPVR user settings? There no information on creating an account . I cant change my settings or view anything. Cant even setup the server takes me to the same webpage.
