I like the search that NextPVR offers on the local website. It works quickly and allows quick recording. However, it has very limited options. I think it should be quite easy to make this search more sophisticated. For example, it would be great to be able to sort results by channels, not only by date. To do this (permanently) you should only change one file:

Is it still possible reinstall V4.  It worked great.  V5 playback freezes many times.  Tried using the Kodi front end but it does not always display Closed Captions.

I noticed when I scanned the channels (DVB-C source) that all my channelnames were cut off at 15 characters. I had to manually edit them.

In the past when the HD channels were still named ".... HD" I could easily make a Advanced recording like this:
`title like '%Christmas%' and genres like '%Movie / Drama%' and channel_oid in (select oid from channel where name not like '% HD')`


But the channels have been renamed by the provider and all are now HD and the ones that are still SD has SD in their channel name for example "RTL" (=HD) and "RTL SD" (=SD).
I want to record all EPG events that are a movie and contain a keyword for example `Christmas`. But most of the time the event is broadcasted on both SD and HD channels. To save some diskspace and prevent double recordings I want to prefer HD over SD (or vice versa).
To complicate it further sometimes the movie is broadcasted on even more than 2 channels for example: RTL, RTL SD and Film1 Family. How to prevent double recordings of the same movie or is this automatically done by NextPVR?

Am I correct that the advanced textbox can only contain a filter and subquery or can I also do a complete custom SQL query?

I can't find anywhere to set the audio decoders in Version 5 ?   In the older version 4 windows client there was a decoders section where audio decoders could be set but I don't see anywhere to do this in either the new web or windows client ?

The reason I'm asking is because one of the channels I'm recording isn't recording the audio so I wanted to check the audio decoder setup.

Hi all,
I am using an HDHomeRun Quatro (device IDs 25-28) and had something happen last evening that I don't understand.  I had three programs set to record:
Prog A : 20:00-21:00 on BBC 4
Prog B : 21:00-22:00 on BBC 1
Prog C : 21:00-22:00 on BBC 2
All set with 4 minutes pre- and post-padding.
Prog A was terminated early, at 20:56 when Progs B and C started, instead of 21:04.
I keep a daily back-up of npvr.db3 and, when I looked back, both Progs A and B were assigned to tuner 25 so I can see why Prog A terminated but why were they assigned to the same tuner when there were others spare?
Any help/advice appreciated.
I have not attached logs as they all start at 1:00am this morning, after this all happened.
Thanks,
Stanno

Hello!
I use NextPVR 5.2.3.211114 with two tuners: old NOTV TV5Deluxe and new Rebel KOM1060 Astrometa*. The old one works fine, but I encounter problems with the new one.

The video from KOM1060 is pixelated. I have a very good quality signal (2km from 100kW transmitter) and all TVs and NOTV tuner work fine.
I tried to detect any sources of noise (moved computer, power source, used USB extension cord). I found nothing.

Then I tried to work with different software. I found that the signal is pixelated only in NextPVR (using client, Kodi or website - doesn't matter). If I run TVRplayer (the software I 've got with the tuner) the quality is fine. I looked into NextPVR logs and I found nothing interesting - no errors or any information about wrong codecs, etc.

What can be the reason for low quality in NextPVR?

--EDIT--
* i found that this stick is just another Astrometa DVB-T2 with Realtek chip. Probably the problem is related to buggy software. How can I deal with this?

Kia ora,

I use a single ultrawide monitor (3840x1080) on my PC with NextPVR for Windows.

In v5, the UI is cramped when the client is sized to 1920x1080:


and the background is stretched when the client is in fullscreen (3840):


This occurs regardless of what the UI Resolution is set to (in Client Settings > General).  I even had a go at putting <UiResolution>3840x1080</UiResolution> in the config file, to no avail.

Not sure if I'm missing some other setting or if this is a genuine bug.  The UI in v4 stays in proportion regardless of client resolution.  It's purely cosmetic but is keeping me from upgrading to v5.

I was happy to learn that there's a Dockerized NextPVR for the Raspberry Pi4. I have configured things and I'm almost there, lacking only the "Scan" button on my device page. Here are my configuration details:

• RPi 4 , Raspbian 11 Bullseye
  
• NextPVR Docker container arm32v7stable, version 5.2.3.211114
  
• Hauppauge WinTV HVR 950 USB tuner
  
• HD Homerun HDHR3-CC (3 tuners)
