- If I record the same channel, I get a recording with video but no sound.
- If I use the same link on a similar OS with a simple IPTV client, everything is OK (so the link is OK).
- Note that some channels work for recording on NextPVR.
My question is: Is NextPVR more limited in terms of streaming than a simple IPTV client, so is it normal that some channels don't work?
Is it possible to do a screencast from the web app?
I have a small headless NUC for the backend, but would like to watch the show on my TV without introducing another app/player.
Not sure if this is really a wishlist item, but I'd like to find a way to be able to see what's going on while PostProcessing.bat is running e.g. checking ffmpeg's progress as it transcodes the recording.
I tried having a simple PostProcessing.bat that just had the line: CMD /C PostProcessing-Main.bat %1 %2
where PostProcessing-Main has all the actual code in it. I had expected the CMD /C to open a new console window and run the main script, but it just runs the script without any window.
Is there some way to make PostProcess.bat visible while running?
I am able to watch and record TV using WinTV 10, but nothing with NextPVR. Error message "Streamig Failed (transcoder exited). Video Encoder is set to CPU.
When using the NextPVR Windows client, I get a few seconds of sound and then a box that says "...please wait..." that never goes away and no picture appears. Doing this seems to load a one minute clip in the Pause Buffer directory, which has proper audio and video from that channel.
Any advice would be appreciated. Log Files attached. Thanks
Setup: Hauppauge HVR-1265 - 57 OTA ATSC Channels are programmed and EPG is loaded.

I have been running NextPVR server under LibreElec for almost a year without any problems. However over the last month or so I have been having EPG problems. Most channels use Freesat EPG but some use DVB-T EPG. Over recent weeks it has been getting worse until now I have no EPG after 17:30 om Wednesday. An EPG update now immediately fails.
Under Guide menu option EPG Sources there is DVB/ATSC and in the Setup box as well as the three DVB-T frequencies there is 10818 which is the transponder where BBC Four is located on Freesat. This channel has had no EPG for some weeks either Freesat or DVB. I dont know if its a cause or effect of the EPG problems!
To test things I just built a LibreElec test server and installed NextPVR but there is no response from the web page on port 8866.
Enclosed is Logs after EPG update on the main server!
I just built a new server and installed truenas on it. I installed npvr via the apps section. This is a brand new build yet it says I am using npvr version 7.0.1.241229 and version 7.0.3.250920 is available. How do I get the latest version. thanks.
To avoid potential confusion LibreELEC and CoreELEC updates for Omega final and Piers alpha starting today now could include a new 7.0.4 version of the NextPVR service. This is a legitimate version that sub authorized me to send out and it will be distributed to other platforms when he has the time to publish the full release.
7.0.4 is definitely a patch release and most of the changes have already been released on the forum. For LibreELEC users this is notable as that release for various reasons had been frozen on 7.0.1. Note for 7.0.3 users reading this there was a notable issue with devices with multiple tuners creating multiple copies of the EPG table. This was fixed early on but you may have missed it https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid603887 It also includes this most recent patch https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid604286 if you want to have close to 7.0.4 functionality today.
It was not really the patches that prompted me to ask sub to release 7.0.4 early though. The current LE updates include a ffmpeg build that has software encoding of h264 enabled on aarch64 for use by the NextPVR web player. I had asked them for this thinking that the RPi5 and another new SoC the RK3588 were capable enough and it turns out I was right they play nicely As bonus even older RPi4's and the new S905X5M based boxes can transcode fast enough (especially within the ultrafast configuration) leaving room for local Kodi playback recording etc. The Odroid N2 works as well, but ultrafast is also better. The CoreELEC repo may not have all the pieces just yet, but if anyone needs them let me know.
Speaking of the S905X5M CoreELEC boxes while they do some limitations with USB I consider it a milestone that these new chips are capable of doing h264 transcoding and doing it cheaply ($60) and silently without a fan. Since they can do 4K too, for me this is really up there with the MVP and PCH doing MPEG2 or H264 better than a PC. The same chip is being used in the latest generation xiaomi box which dual boots CE and Android. It is also in the latest Walmart ONN which sadly cannot boot CE. So props to the LE and CE teams that keep developing for these platforms, things can only get better.
