I recorded an NFL game that started at 3:30 and was to finish at 7:00pm. Then at 7:00pm I had two recordings scheduled, one was another NFL game and the other a movie. When I tried to play the NFL recording in progress at about 7:30pm it only played for a few seconds. Later I found that the recording was only about 2.5MB. The movie recording did not seem to have any issue.
Hi,
just updated to the version above.
Unfortunately NextPvr turned into a fiat panda after the update, unlike the Ferrari it usually sometimes is.
So, the config web page slowed down, very slow response. I updated the usual way, as has always worked before. Linux install.
But everything went a bit squiffy. Now I can't use NextPvr at all.
After trying to delete all devices I can still tune into all three DVB-C tuners, but after mapping the channels I can't see them in channels. Logs attached.
Using NScripthelper and batch files to create custom filename can be difficult so I decided to create a utility based on a smart regex based renamer I have used for years https://github.com/nicjansma/rename-regex
This utility can be run from the command line and via post processing.bat It can be run before or after other utilities like comskip since it also renames all matching files with different extensions
Before giving you the syntax NOTE that you should test this from the command line using the /p (pretend) option to confirm the naming is what you'd like. Also make sure that all the variables are in double quotes.
The utility has more options but the syntax options I have used and tested are
RRImport filespec|recording_id regex newname [/p]
If it doesn't match the regex nothing is changed.
A "regex" is a geeky what of parsing a file into component pieces. If you don't know what you are doing I wouldn't use it as there are two "built-in" options default and plex. The prime purpose of this utility is for users who don't like the NextPVR generic names.
The new name can have regex variables, named variable I show below. It isn't as complicated as it looks and is a lot easier then scripting.
Code:
?rn - Recording name
?t - EPG title
?st - EPG subtitle
?se - S#E# if it exists.
?cn - Recorded channel name
?ys - EPG year start
?Ms -EPG month start
?ds - EPG day start
?hs - EPG hour start
?ms - EPG minute start
?ye - EPG year end
?Me -EPG month end
?de - EPG day end
?he - EPG hour end
?me - EPG minute end
?rys - Recording year start
?rMs -Recording month start
?rds - Recording day start
?rhs - Recording hour start
?rms - Recording minute start
?rye - Recording year end
?rMe -Recording month end
?rde - Recording day end
?rhe - Recording hour end
?rms - Recording minute
For geeks the regex variable are $1, $2 etc.
I'll provide some common examples in the next post. It might be better just to ask question on what you want.
Currently this is only for Windows. To install unzip the attached in the NextPVR program folder and also this needed DLL
I had NextPVR and Kodi working fine for many months. I stopped watch live TV (OTA) on Kodi about a month ago. Then I found there is no live TV in Kodi. Recording works just fine and I can watch in Kodi.
When I use the browser to watch live TV, I got the error:
nextpvr streaming failed (transcoder exited)
The NextPVR client crashes when I click on live TV (Java error).
I updated the both NextPVR and Kodi to latest. Same error
Noticed two issues with latest release. First, sluggishness navigating. Watch show, end, delete. Ten want to navigate via arrows, but get no reaction. Clicking on menu eventually gets response.
Second issue, start a show or live view and sometimes screen is "dim" for a few seconds.
A scheduled recording I have setup is being cut short.
The schedule is for about 6 hours but the recorded .ts file is usually about 15 minutes long.
The program is in the scheduler as Rage, beginning sometime around 00:00 on Jan 15 and going until 06:00 AM
I have logs and can upload them to this forum but can't see a method to insert the link to the file in this post
This is a single use download, let me know if it needs to be re-uploaded or if there's a simple way I can insert file uploads into forum posts https://www.file.io/download/lUBzyMr0ViGW
just installed NPVR on a Mac mini (Intel) with Big Sur, started it and got the error message:
Unexpected error in SAT>IP discovery(1): System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (48): Address already in use
I've done the same on a different machine (same OS) but didn't get that error there, so it seems that there is some software conflict on the Mac mini.
But how would I identify the conflict?
Is ScheduleHelperFactory.GetScheduleHelper().ScheduleRecording(e, RecordingQuality.QUALITY_DEFAULT); supposed to respect the duplicate flag or is that in program control?
my IPTV provider just added a bunch of VOD content, so i deleted my device and created a fresh one from my m3u to include the VOD groups. NPVR picked up which channels are VOD, and i see them all in the browser in the new VOD section and can play, which is pretty nifty actually however, as they are picked up as VOD they don't show in the channel list in NPVR, although NPVR seems to have assigned them channel numbers in the background as there is a gap in the channel numbers where i configured the groups/VOD channels in my m3u, and they they don't seem to get passed to Kodi as groups and channels.
it has been over a year since my provider had any VOD content, and back then if i added to NPVR they showed up as groups and channels in Kodi and i could access and play them from the guide in Kodi, but that does not seem to be happening anymore
is there some special way to get to the VOD content in Kodi i am missing? i checked in Nox Silvo to see of there is some option to access a VOD menu or something by adding a menu item, but i could not find anything so can only assume Kodi PVR does not have a VOD option, only guide and channels, and to use VOD it should be accessed via group/channel (Simple IPTV client is working this way and i can get them in the guide in Kodi and play, but would prefer to be able to do that from NPVR and just have one client running in Kodi.)
if as i suspect the functionality does not exist to have VOD separate to channels in Kodi, is there some setting in NPVR i can change so that VOD is sent as groups and channels as they appear in my m3u, so i can reach them in the guide like i do with simple iptv client?
however, as they are picked up as VOD they don't show in the channel list in NPVR, although NPVR seems to have assigned them channel numbers in the background as there is a gap in the channel numbers where i configured the groups/VOD channels in my m3u, and they they don't seem to get passed to Kodi as groups and channels.
