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.
Using NextPVR v5.2.6.220206 I want to use the search function to create recordings for the episodes of a series I have missed. Example: I missed the start of Series 5 of Bangers and Cash on the "Yesterday" channel. I can search for 'Bangers and Cash' but it comes up with 88 episodes only 5 of which are for Series 5 The series description starts with the usual S05E03 etc but if I put S05 in the 'description text' the search finds nothing! I'm using Schedules Direct as a source, but I don't think that should not make any difference. How can I create a manual recording "advanced 'title like '%bangers and Cash%' ' but for Series 5 episode only?
Everything is working great but I am using an EPG provider for about a dozen channels that is only good for 8 hrs.
Is there a bat file or something where I could make to run the EPG updater more than just once a day?
Maybe a wishlist item would be where when you select the time you want the update you could have multiple updates within a 24hr period.
ie,
[dropdown box]
Once a day.................once a day
Twice a day................every 12 hrs
Three times a day.......every 8 hrs
Four times a day.........every 6 hrs
Current Version: 5.2.6.220206, hardware as shown in signature.
A little while ago the ability to import a single recording XML file was fixed and I have been using this, on and off, to reorganise my recordings library to be more along the lines of the Kodi Movies/Files and TV Shows. This almost complete but I am currently left with several seasons of some TV Shows I record for the kids which each have multiple episodes (25/30 per season). Each season has its own folder and I have come across a Powershell script that allows me to make bulk changes to the <filename> tags in each of the XML files to point to the new file locations. Nothing else in the XML file has been changed.
Having made the changes above I was faced with the task of importing each XML file back into NextPVR until I remembered that the import facility (Settings / General/ Import Recordings) can (should ?) also handle a zip file (of XML files ?). I bundled up all the XML file for each season into a zip file and tried to import the zip file. Nothing happened. Checking the log files I can see that tha zip file is recognised, as are the XML files, but nothing happens to them after that:
I followed the SoftPVR instructions for NextPVR and the device showed up as analog in the settings.
I added a couple of FM Stations But when I play them there is no sound.
