I have attempted several clean reinstalls of Ubuntu Server 20.04 to make the combination of Hauppauge Quad-HD, NextPVR and Kodi work. It always works perfect for a few hours and then it all fails - failed recordings, no live TV and inability to scan. Not entirely sure if it always fails with the first scheduled recording or not. Tuners are still visible on WebUI and stay on a rescan for devices. Used Hauppauge drivers, CURL install of NextPVR and Kodi with LightDM. Everything works fine on the same machine with Libreelec. Unfortunately I do need some apps which are not easy to install on Libreelec
Would appreciate any help. I have hit a dead end after trying 5 or 6 installs from scratch.
Log files are attached.
I was wondering if NextPVR has the ability to add multiple URLs for IPTV channels? When a URL changes I go into the database and edit the Tuning field of CHANNEL_MAPPING table in the <source> tag. Is it possible to ", http:/more sources" in this tag?
Clarity, have the ability to have multiple url feeds to a single channel. If a source goes down it switches to a secondary feed built into a single channel.
I recently upgraded PC and switched NextPVR to version 5 from 4. I use HDhomerun devices on Windows 10. I now get an xml file for every recorded ts file which I didn't with version 4. How do I avoid these xml files being created?
Windows 10
NextPVR 4.2.5
Schedules direct
Silicondust HDHomeRun ( 2 tuners in 1 box )
Lately shows like The Bachelor show up with a time of 7:00 PM - 9:01 PM. Even if I set the post-pad to None NextPVR sees that 1 min in the 9-10 timeframe as a recording since that's what the EPG is showing. The problem then becomes that at 9 I want to record 2 other shows and I can't select a 2nd recording because a tuner is in use for that single minute. Is there a way to override the schedules direct details or another way to alleviate that issue? Will I have to update it for each recording or can I run a script to adjust all future recordings?

2022-03-11 16:45:37.524 [DEBUG][61] [FFMPEG]: Consider increasing the value for the 'analyzeduration' and 'probesize' options
PS: I anonymized some values...
Question: can I change some setting so that ffmpeg will work with option "-probesize 512000" for example? Default ffmpeg probesize is too short for my source files...
Regards and thanks for this great piece of software!
I finally updated to version 5 (I was many versions back).
- I have two HDHR-US SiliconDust tuners.
- Install of v5 was successful
- All tuners and channels are seen in schedule (I use SchedulesDirect)
- Live TV works in both the SiliconDust and NPVR app.
- Recorder will create a file for a show (of what looks like appropriate size) but it won't play in NPVR or via VLC (transcoder failed message appears in NPVR).
- Tried video encoder set to Intel and CPU
- Firewall disabled
- New mini PC (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083LXPNJS?ref...tails&th=1)
Would it be possible to get the NextPVR (backend only I guess) running on a Linux set-top-box?
I have a Gigablue Quad UHD which offers 8 (full band capture) satellite tuners. I put in it a 5Tb 2.5 inch HDD and it appears to be beast of a recording engine thats silent and draws minimal amounts of power.
I can't get on with the user interface (I've tried OpenVIX and OpenATV but a lot of how it operates is baked into Enigma2) but in hardware terms it makes my PC based backend seem like an expensive power hungry dinosaur.
I tried manually downloading the docker engine as a prelude to the npvr ARM docker (the Gigablue uses opkg), but invoking dockerd I get a segfault. I've very little experience with linux so my experimentation ends there.
