Just got the app other day, all working great except when playback it stops randomly sometimes after 10 mins, sometimes after only a few.
I have tried from direct play to low bit rate transcodes but still same problem?
Any ideas what to try or what is wrong?
Works ok with desktop and web app.
With the android app through the tv it seems to be failing, not sure on my mobile as not tested too much yet.
This thread has me totally confused. It started out discussing how to get EPG from TitanTV and that is where my interest is - getting ANY EPG for ATSC/OTA channels in the US. The OTA EPG only gets 2 days for a few channels and never updates unless I manually go into the TV Guide. Without a functioning EPG, I don't see the point of a PVR. Isn't the idea to make life easier? Where is the best place to read about the current state of EPG and NextPVR so that I have a chance of getting it to actually work?
can someone help i am new to this. installed on windows/logged in and all i get next to all channels is no show detals - i only have xcode no 3mu and its not avaliable.
Got a slightly odd one here, I'm not sure what's going on. When I first set up NextPVR a couple of days ago at first I was using DVB EPG and made a couple of recordings with that data. Then, on Sunday morning i moved over to using Schedules Direct, and made a few more recordings. Now check the screenshot which is of Kodi's web interface showing my recordings. The first two at the bottom look fine, they have the correct title. But the 3 most recent ones only have "SxxExx", there is absolutely no mention of what show these are at all I also took a screenshot in Kodi itself which shows the same thing.
Worth noting that they display fine in NextPVR's web interface, see screenshot of that too.
And here's a copy of the XML for one of the problematic recordings, which looks fine to me, the title is here?
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

So.. what do we think is going on here? Is this expected? It feels a bit sub-optimal to me The recording data from the DVB EPG feels a lot more useful..
Hi. Anything I try to play results in a blank screen and a message in red at the bottom that says Browser blocked video playback. If I then hit the pause/play button area it starts playing but the message remains. Does anyone have any idea what this message is trying to tell me? I am using windows 11 and the built in EDGE browser with all the windows updates applied.
Also I noticed that while the content is playing the square STOP button does not do anything... but I can hit pause and then back to select a new program to watch. Investigating the not working STOP might be useful.
older hardware (AMD A6-7400K with RadeonR5)
new tuner (Hauppauge quad-HD)
recent upgrade to NPVR 5.x
I've tried a few combinations of renderers and decoders, but new recordings have really jarring screen jaggies and blotchy patches.
Is this most likely to be cause by poor signal quality, or the decoders?
I suspect it's signal, and I'll keep playing with this, but I wanted to seek some knowledge from the hive mind here.
Historically, I've fixed poor playback by replacing the HDD, but this one is pretty new too (< 12 months).
Coincident with the v5 upgrade and the tuner change (previously using an HVR2200) is switching to LAV decoders instead of the Microsoft DTV ones.
Skipping flat out "doesn't work" with those, and we had to switch to LAV.
[Skipping forward is exponential, Skipping backwards goes forward ...exponentially]
Could you make it possible to include the air date for shows in the information from online as in the uk the default guide data only provides show series and episode information but no air date for the show when it was first transmitted.
So perhaps a hardcoded backslash when constructing the transcoder logfile path somewhere, rather than a forward slash on Linux so the transcoder log would be in the logs directory next to the others. All the other logs are in the logs directory and seem fine.
I also took a screenshot in Kodi itself which shows the same thing.
