Good afternoon

Does anyone managed to connect Ubisheng tuner to Nextpvr.

I have an issue where the OK button on my MCE remote stops working.  I also have a small wireless keyboard that has the same problem, so I don’t think it’s my MCE remote.  It started with 5.2.4.220103 and the problem still is in 5.2.5.220111.  The problem shows in your Modern interface.  I switched back to your Classic recordings interface which I like better. 
 
Steps to reproduce the problem using your Windows app under Windows 11:
• Record one show of a series
• Play a minute of that show, then delete the recording.  The interface will go up one level to show all the other series I’ve recorded.
• Use the up or down arrows to navigate to another series.
• Press OK on the remote.  Nothing will happen.  I also tried pressing the Enter key on my wireless keyboard.  Still nothing happens.
• Press the left arrow then right arrow on the remote to navigate away from, then back into Ready Recordings.  The OK button will now work correctly again (until the next time I delete the last recording in a series).

Howdy,

Is there an easy, automated method to add the subtitle to the filename? Also, is there a dummies version of a guide to follow? 

In my case, mostly for sports. Currently I'm seeing filenames like NFL Football_2022-01-15_20002300.ts instead of something like NFL Playoff - Las Vegas Raiders at Cincinnati Bengals  - Las Vegas Raiders at Cincinnati Bengals.ts that Plex was giving me. Plex doesn't have near the recording options that NextPVR has but I sure like that naming convention  I know in the Recordings area it will display the subtitle info but would like to have it in the filename. Sometimes we copy recording to an external drive to view while travelling. I don't know what file to grab based on Title, DateTime unless I start viewing it to see what teams are playing.

I've enabled the following items:
Use S01E01 file naming format if possible
Use Movie.Name.(YEAR) format for movies if possible
Use file names with Plex date format
Avoid duplicate recordings where possible
Look for alternate airings on unresolved conflicts


Thanks!

For the second time in a week, I noticed that "Crikey! It's the Irwins" has been scheduled for recording.  I don't see it in the recurring recordings list and I'm pretty certain that we have never watched or recorded it.  Is there anything in the logs that might give a hint as to why it keeps getting scheduled?

Thanks!

In All Recordings (classic view), if I open a recordings folder, delete the recording, I can no longer open another recordings folder (Ok button on remote) until I leave the All Recordings view then return.
This is happening with both the NextPVR.exe and NLite.
I can provide a log tomorrow if needed. It should be easy to reproduce.

I noticed an anomaly when I'm importing m3u files ?  The initial first m3u file loads fine and channel.number = channel_mapping.channel_source_number where channel.oid = channel_mapping.channel_source_oid.   But any subsequent m3u file I import ends up with the new channels having channel_source_number being 1 more than it should be.  For example if the 2nd file started channel numbering at 300, then the first new row added would have channel.number = 300 but the matching channel_source_oid in channel_mapping would have channel_source_number = 301 and that pattern continues for all the newly added rows in the 2nd m3u file.

I presume NextPVR joins using the oid's so maybe this issue was never noticed before.  I noticed because I have some scripts that I use for reassigning tuning and epg columns and find it convenient to be able to query channel_mapping by channel_source_number.   I thought I was doing something wrong until I noticed that the channel numbers weren't aligning properly on the newly added rows.  So every time I import another m3u file, I end up running a script to correct the channel matching between channel & channel_mapping tables.

Both tables always have the same number of rows and as mentioined, the very first file always loads correctly.  Its the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc files that seem to hit this issue.

I get that in a purely "normalized" database, channel_source_number wouldn't even be there and that its likely there just for convenience, but in order to take advantage of this convenience, I need to correct it after each new m3u load.

When I turned on my Sony android TV last night, I noticed that it had automatically downloaded and installed Kodi 19.5.  Yet, when going to the kodi website, there is no mention of that version for any platform.  Say what?   Does anyone have any insight as to what is going on?

Hi. I am an OLD guy, I was a CTO 20 years ago - so - I really appreciate the work that has gone into this NextPVR. It took me a few days to get from V4 to V5, but I got there. Runs great - finally. 

BUT  . . . I do have a minor problem. I see that in the web version settings, there appears to be an option to do an auto transcode of the resulting .ts file into .mp4. The resulting file is big, but it cannot be played. There seems to be something missing in the result.

I set preferred streaming profile to default.
Video encoder to CPU. 
Recording Auto Transcode - set to 1080p (.mp4)

When the recording ends, the browser runs quite a long time, and a large .mp4 file results. Smaller than the .ts file. BUT it will not play. I deleted all the results, realize now I should have kept one and looked at attributes. I'll make another one and come back in a bit.

Thanks. Amazing amount of work went into this thing.

As you know I/we got the art showing in NextPVR, but I'm having an issue getting it to show in the Kodi Client. I might have a setting wrong, but I was able to display the art properly in the past.

Do I have a client setting wrong or did the missing art size is SD affect anything? (I've also tried it with remote access setting enabled, i didnt see much info on these settings)


The art used to show here as well as other places in GUI:

So I’ve got a 2021 Apple TV 4K and I’m looking for a new 4K tv to take advantage of Dolby Vision. Since I’ll be using the Apple TV for smart tv features the TV-OS that comes with the tv is not important to me. With that in mind does anyone have any recommendations on some TV’s that provide the best picture quality for the money? For instance if hypothetically a Vizio tv has a worse stock OS but invests in better panels or has better colours than Sony or Samsung I would take the Vizio. I also plan on buying a decent Dolby atmos sound system so the stock tv speakers are not a major factor either.
I’ll be putting it in a room that can get pretty bright during the day so I’m not married to OLED if it can't get bright enough, but if it provides the best picture overall I would go for it.
Budget is not an issue, I'm just looking for the straight up best picture quality and colors for the money without caring about the sound or os features. Any recommendations would be appreciated!
