In the What's New list, my filter for local recordings isn't working. When I select it, I also see recordings that aren't in that directory. It works from the Ready Recordings list.
I don't think this is an NextPVR issue, but I wanted to post this as an fyi.
When I exit a recording, there can be a long delay (including a blank screen) before I get back to the recording list. See the 1:10 gap just before the bold item. That recording is on a NAS device (a movies archive directory).
I'm not sure why the file needs to be accessed for the list display, but I just wanted to point out what a side effect might be with a bad network.

I am not sure if I require any other settings but enabling Direct3D transcoding still results in very high CPU usage (around 50%) when the NextPVR backend is serving media to a client web browser. Changing this to Intel is even worse (around 65%). The hardware I am using is equipped with Gemini Lake CPU which supports hardware assisted encoding. This CPU usage appears to very excessive. Is this normal? I have attached logs.
Also, NextPVR back end is NOT running as a service because I am aware that Windows services do not have direct access to the GPU.
is there any way of getting the green button to launch nextpvr. how's about a last channel button? Also is there way to stop a recording with using the mce remote, example i press the record button starts recording but can't stop the record until it finish's.
Has anybody managed to get this working for transcoding? I'm running NextPVR in a Docker container on OMV, VAAPI doesn't seem to want to play. Works fine on my 6th Gen i7!
I recently replaced my IPTV provider and am experiencing an issue when automapping the new XMLTV file.
I can manually map a channel on the Settings/Channel page, however I am getting an object reference error in the log during the AutoMap process.

The xml provided has a couple of differences as compared to the last.
- Missing <!DOCTYPE tv SYSTEM "xmltv.dtd">
- A number of channels are missing the <icon src> tag, including the first entry
Modified the XML by:
- Add the missing DOCTYPE
- Only included:
- 7 channels containing the <icon src> child
- Removed all but a few <programme> entries to narrow the cause
Manually mapping from this modified file works.
On AutoMap it doesn't throw a null exception now, however nothing was found? 2021-11-20 11:39:49.270 [DEBUG][50] CaptureSource.LoadAll()

Hope the observations/research helps. If there is anything else I can try or info I can provide...
Due to some problems with one tuner setting, I decided to reinstall NextPVR. Mistake. Almost back to normal, but I cannot get EPG to upgrade more then 12 hours or so ahead. I use Schedules Direct. Tried increasing the time per frequency in the guide setup, but what ever I set it to it only goes to 60 seconds, no matter what I set it at. Tried clearing and then updating EPG, no help. Tried updating one frequency at a time. No help.
Help
When I go the the Recordings list web page, it always defaults to an option that I never want to see. Please provide a direct URL for the "Recent Recordings" as well as the other filtering options so that users can bookmark them. Al least allow users to set a preference in the settings area for that web page.
Love the NextPVR! Used version 4 for many years and finally upgraded to version 5. I is great but have a few shortcomings, IMHO that should be easy to correct:
USE CASE: A favorite IPTV stream changes its URL several times per day.
Requested change 1: Allow direct editing of the URL stream from an existing NextPVR web page.
Requested change 2: Allow the user to export the IPTV channel lineup to XML, edit it in a third party app such as Microsoft Excel, then import the edited XML back into Next PVR.
Requested change 3: Allow the user to export the IPTV channel lineup to a standard .m3u file, edit it in a third party app such as Microsoft Notepad, then import the edited m3u file back into Next PVR.
Thank you for such a great product! I am honored to be able to help in making it better.
