I've got Next PVR working pretty good so far and just have a few items to figure out.
I'm running NextPVR on a Windows 10 PC and have 2 HDHomerun devices on my Network.
I have an HDHomerun Prime with a cable card and recently added an HDHomerun Flex 4k.
I don't understand why I'm seeing duplicate channels listed under "Channels" and "TVGuide".
Under the "Channels" tab, I can select either "All Channels" or "HDHomerun Channels".
Selecting ""HDHomerun Channels" shows only the OTA channels HD (without duplicates) and selecting "All Channels" shows both OTA and Cable channels (but has duplicates of the OTA channels). I'm confused because both are HDHomerun devices and only the Flex 4k channels show up when "HDHomerun Channels" is selected.
How can I get the "Channels" and "TVGuide" to list the all the channels available without duplicating anything?
Hello, I have just updated to the 5.2.5.20111 from 5.0.7XXXXX (where all worked no problem). Now I find all works well until I view a recording and try to fast forward/Back using the slider cursor at the bottom screen. At this point the video jumps, stutters and freezes and on the odd occasion works ok. The audio does a similar sort of thing. Can you help please?
My PC is UK :- Windows 10, 16 Gb mem with a Samsung SSD and the whole rig is 2 years old. I also use the PC based system rather than the web (if that makes sense).
Cheers Chris
Using Windows 11 and the latest NextPVR, but probably earlier versions as well, I get some unusual artwork.
At the moment, for example 'Harry Potter 3' on TVNZ2, the image is for Quantum of Solace. For 'Attenborough's The Mating Game' on TVNZ1 I get something called Innocent. For 'My Best Friends Wedding' I might get My Best Friends Wedding, but the poster is, I think, in Russian.
And of course quite a lot are fine and quite a few have no image at all.
Just though I'd mention it and I realise its a pretty difficult thing to do, but even though Harry Potter 3 is called that and not Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' I struggle to se a connection to Quantum of Solace.
I'd also rather have a picture I can correct if wrong rather than nothing at all.
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
