I'm trying different PVR apps to see which one I like best. I installed NextPVR yesterday on Linux Mint 20, and my TV tuner is a Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD. My problem is that I've updated the OTA EPG several times, and it still does not have any listings. I've tried rebooting, and increasing the seconds per frequency, first to 120, then 180, then 300. I also looked at the logs, and I didn't see anything remarkable, but then I also don't really know what to look for. I don't think my tuner is the problem, because all the other TV software I've used does the job in about 5-10 minutes for all the frequencies, and I get actual listings when it's finished. The other ones I've used are MythTV, Kaffeine, and the official Hauppauge WinTV app (the WinTV app is Windows 10 only). I know I can just pay a few dollars to get listings from Schedules Direct, but I don't want to waste money doing that, when the over-the-air listings are sufficient for my needs, if only they would work. I know I could also go back to using one of the other apps I named, but I want to give NextPVR a fair shot too, and I believe that this issue is fixable, but I'm just missing something. I will greatly appreciate any help you all can give me.
I have three different generations of HDHomeRun tuners, HDHR-US, HDHR3-US, and HDHR4-2US. The HDHR4-2US is the only one that has the channel lineup inside of it via http. My issue was that I only want NextPVR to use the oldest one HDHR-US. NextPVR sees all of them at startup by default so I disabled all but the dual-tuner HDHR-US that I want to be used. Channel scans after this will run but only a couple channels could actually be tuned. As a test I tried temporarily using the newer HDHR4 instead and all was well. All channels could be tuned OK.
There is only one way I found for me to be able to use only the HDHR-US. After starting NextPVR I must go into settings and delete all but the HDHR-US tuner. Then I must also untick the box that says "Scan devices at startup". Now after restarting NextPVR I can do the channel scan on the remaining HDHR-US and all is well.
In summary it seems to me that NextPVR isn't differentiating between these three different generations of HDHomeRun tuners if they are all present at the same time. This is true whether two of them are disabled or not. I do not have logs and don't want to break my working setup, however, I could easily re-create all of it in a VM if it's worth pursuing so I could produce logs if asked.
I have a Chromebox CN62 that has been used to host libreelec, Kodi, Tvheadend for a few years. I would like to repurpose that Chromebox and use NextPVR to record NTSC on WinTV Dual HD USB tuner and save recordings on Synology DiskStation NAS. The libreelec currently on the box is pretty messed up so I'd like to do a clean install from scratch.
1. What is minimum linux distro that should be installed to support PVR functionality, with minimal overhead? (i.e. no docker, kodi etc. if possible)
2. Are there any good guides for installing linux and NextPVR on Chromebox? (I have basic, but limited libreelec/kodi tvheadend experience)
I did spend some hours reading forum entries; please excuse if this is an ignorant request.
Thanks,
Dave

I am not sure how this change impacts UK Freeview users https://www.freeview.co.uk/help/service-...ree-launch but I figure it could be a bit of work for some of you. Perhaps NextPVR experts could share some insight on what the impacts are and how to adjust their guide and schedules.
I followed some excellent looking advice on Geekzone to try NextPVR. I have been using MythTV for a few years, but it doesn't seem to be well supported now.
It has installed OK on my Ubuntu 20.04.3 server. I plugged my two USB turners into it and tried a scan. No channels found with any Wellington config file (I am using Fitzherbert, which should be covered by /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/nz-WellingtonInfill )
I've got a vast amount of PC experience (using Linux since about 1998), but not a lot with UHF and tuners. I do wonder how the frequencies specified in /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/nz-WellingtonInfill related to those listed on https://www.rsm.govt.nz/assets/Uploads/d...-table.pdf ?
I then plugged the tuners back into the MythTV box (without changing anything else) and that still works fine.
I would love to have a favorites list so that I can easily browse my favorite channels in one folder. I have an iptv service with thousands of channels and dozens of folders.
If I could pick my own channels it would be easier to find programs I want to record or watch and not miss as much because I did not check that folder.
I spent two days searching & trying to figure this out, gave up, and joined the forum today for help. I have a working setup of NextPVR on a PC running Ubuntu. I can play live TV or recorded shows via a web browser from a different PC. I can also play the recordings through KODI from a different PC or on my FireTV Cube. So basically everything is working except when it comes to using VLC.
I cannot figure out how to play a recording in VLC while running on a different PC. In VLC I have tried Media->Open Network Stream and entered http://<myserver>:8866/live?recording=<XXX>
What I'm doing is either wrong or I'm not entering the proper value for XXX.
Am I feeding it the proper URL path?
How does one figure out what recording ID number to feed to VLC?
Hello,
Was hoping someone might be able to help me with this. I have a Dvico FusionHDTV7 Dual Express, which i have currently in an arch based server running Kodi-gbm standalone. I've finally gotten around to getting this tuner card in and it seems all installed well and fine. It found my local channels and i figured there was no issues. Went to stream it live, and i keep getting a Failed to create writer error on the adapter, as well as 404 and 500 errors from the clients.
I've tried to stream it via the webserver with no luck. It initializes the stream and then errors out with a 404 error. Please see the attached logs. Let me know if anyone knows anything.
