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? 

Thanks.

Hello,

I am using NextPVR to record IPTV streams. Some streams, although correctly recorded, fail to playback in the browser.

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!

Hi

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)

Log file attached.

Thanks for the help - this has always been great.

Steve

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.

I have been using NEXT PVR with Kodi for some time.
All of a sudden, I get an error in Kodi saying could not start recording. I looked at Kodi forums and it said that there was an issue with the guide not being in sync with next pvr

So I go into next PVR and in the guide it says no show detail.
I cleared epg and did another download and I still see the same error.

If you could help I would appreciate it. Not sure why all of a sudden this stopped working.
I use schedules direct for my listings...

Is it possible to disable thumbnails on the recordings list for either nextpvr.exe (windows) or the web client?
I personally find them really annoying and to me, a complete waste of real estate and would much prefer a simple list of program titles only if that's possible.

Is there a guide to adding tuners to the docker version of NextPVR?

I'm using:

• EyeTV 410 over firewire and
  
• EyeTV Diversity over USB.
  

Hi

My tuners appears to keep getting stuck on a docker setup, usually a week or two after a server restart

I have noticed that it appears that I get these messages on the log:

Hi can anyone point me to a guide to install NextPVR on Libreelec? I tried using this thread https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=62150 , Managed to install it however
when I try to scan for channels it just sits there doing nothing. It does recognize my hauppage tuners. I did install the Scanning tables?
thanks

I am looking for a way to import mp4 video files not recorded by NextPVR.

I am looking to have a folder in my recordings called "Movies" then move my movie library into it to have an all in one entertainment for my TV and movies.

I tried to run Martins video tool but it says it can install on my version of windows and tried searching for other threads on the subject with not much luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
