Since V5 I have a hard time with freezing video.  Have tried various decoders.  Nablet and LAV work fairly well if I don't try to skip around a lot.  The automatic commercial skip with comskip works well 99% of the time, but if I skip around like trying to skip stories in the news half the time the video will freeze and the audio will continue for awhile and then stop.  Sometimes I can get it to restart by fffwd and rev a few times, but then it may have skipped ahead several minutes.  Sometimes I need to stop and restart the playback. ffdshow decoder: as soon as I hit play the program exits.  Arcsoft and Microsoft decoders:  Hit play and nothing happens.  Seems to think it is playing since keys have no effect unless I hit stop, then it exits play and says the show has been watched to the end and do you want to delete it.  Main concept decoder:  No closed captions.  SRT closed caption file is detected but if you select it no closed captions are displayed with any decoder.  I am using the NEXTPVR Client.  If I just let the show play 99% or better of the time it plays fine.  I had one exception where the NextPVR playback would freeze at a certain point, but using three other programs there was just a disturbance there.  Unfortunately, in playing with it a lot I accidently erased it.

I have an issue with the aspect ratio defaulting to Fill mode when starting playback of any UK HD recording. Monitor aspect ratio is 16:10 and ideally I would like playback to start in Auto mode so it displays with small black bars, which is what happens with SD recordings.

I have tried setting mode to Auto manually but this setting is not being saved and it defaults to Fill each time. I've also noticed if I switch between windowed mode and full screen the mode switches to Auto automatically.

I'm using NPVR 5.2.3.211114 and latest versions of LAV audio and video decoders with default settings.

Is this a known issue or does anyone know of a workaround? It's slightly frustrating having to manually set the correct aspect ratio each time.

Thanks

Hi,

I am using sat->IP DVB Kabel tuner that is build in my DVB Modem (Fritzbox).
NextPVR server is running on an LXC Container under Debian Buster (Promox). I have installed the lastet version of NextPVR.

The nightly EPG update using "DVB/ATSC EPG" results in 2 channels (Das Erste, WDR HD Köln) having no EPG information.
If I then manually update the EPG it (sometimes, actually most of the time but not always) succeeds in updating the EPG for those channels. I have already extended the search time to 120 secs.

Are there any further parameter I may try to influence the stability of the EPG retrieval?

Also I have noted that if the EPG information is longer text, then it is truncated. This is sad because it would be great to have the full description of the TV show. Is it possible to enlarge the text storage.

cheers

Hi all



I seem to have got a tuner stuck on CBeebies HD Channel.



Can't seem to find any reason why. Presumably restarting the docker would fix it, but I'm not constantly going to be on the lookout for this



Log attached. Any help appreciated



Many thanks

Hello,

I have an issue with my 'channels.conf'. The dvb-c scan finds the channels at the frequencies, but the 'adapter0-DVB-C-channels.conf' shows nonsense frequency values like '4294967288', so tuning the channel isn't working.

I can make the '.conf' work with values from the log, but after a new scan the conf values are corrupt again.

As I didn't find another post with the same issue, Does anybody know this topic?

Can anybody tell if this is a bug or something to configure at my setup?


Ronny


example from the 'adapter0-DVB-C-channels.conf':

[ServusTV HD Deutschland]
        SERVICE_ID = 1537
        NETWORK_ID = 61697
        TRANSPORT_ID = 49159
        VIDEO_PID = 4920
        AUDIO_PID = 4921 4922 4924 4925
        PID_86 = 4926
        PID_05 = 91
        FREQUENCY = 4294967288
        MODULATION = QAM/256
        INVERSION = AUTO
        SYMBOL_RATE = 6899978
        INNER_FEC = NONE
        DELIVERY_SYSTEM = DVBC/ANNEX_A

Hey
Random one, I have literally just installed, seems cool. But, I think I know the answer, my m3u also has VOD on it, which, I dont think got added, is that right?
Or is there a way to do this?
Thanks

I am trying to search for TV stations in Kabel TV in Munich in Germany.
The predefined search settings do not work and only show a very limited number of TV stations.
If I am performing a search "All countries...", then more TV stations are found but still important stations are missing.

I realized that TV stations especially QAM 64 are effected.

Is there a way to define own search settings?

I upgraded to 5.x from 4.x and lost the ability to put in an adhoc s-video channel. How do you add an S-VIDEO channel on a haupauge PVR  1955. When I was on Allo I had used S-Video to get channels from a cable modem. Now I am using OTA but I still need a S-Video channel to get data from a VCR.

After many months of happy service, a few days ago I noticed several recording fails. 

While I was investigating, I was prompted to upgrade to Impish. That failed and now I can only boot ubuntu 20.04.3 in recovery mode.

Nextpvr starts. I can open a channel from a browser and receive a signal after restarting Nextpvr one time. But every subsequent try fails. 

I reloaded the tuner drivers from their PPA. No help. 

Logs attached.

Anybody else have problems in receiving the Channel 9 group of channels in Sydney?

I raised this about 18 months ago and gave up,  and got the Hauppauge WinTV app to do the job and it picks up all the channels.

The other day upgraded the WinTV app and decided to give the latest NextPVR go and see if the problem still existed.  All the channels of the Channel 9 group are still missing I thought the latest version would fix it 

Family members would prefer this rather the Hauppage app (horrible clunky subtitles)
