I purchased a Hauppauge Colossus 2 capture card and I'm now testing it.
NextPVR V4 has an "Advanced Settings" screen, what do the Video Encoder settings control exactly?
Profile
Level
Latency
My initial tests using the default settings produce very, very large .ts files.
I'm looking for options to reduce the video quality / file sizes.
Apologies if I've posted in the wrong forum. I'm running NextPVR on a Windows 10 computer.
I record the game show program "Supermarket Sweep". There is an "old" version of this program, c. 1990, that has "old" artwork, and a new version of the program with new, and different, artwork. I want to record both versions, and that's working fine, I get both, but the artwork for both is showing as "old". Is there any way to get "new" artwork assigned to the "new" version and "old" assigned to "old"?
I did a search on this topic and didn't find anything relevant.
I would like to add new backgrounds to the clients.
I would also gladly work on the development of any hooks needed to allow for this or any other simple user experience features I could. I have visual studio and know a variety of languages, it's just not my day job .
There was mention in another thread (https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=63081) about problems in v5 versus v4 but my issues started when I went from 5.2.0 (or perhaps 5.1.4, can't remember) to 5.2.1.
I am using the NPVR client on Windows 10 with an MCE remote and have updated LAV to 0.75.1.
The things I have noticed are:
1) When selecting a recording in "Ready Recordings", the pop-up window takes a while to appear.
2) When selecting "play" there is a delay before it starts.
3) Audio syncing is way out and takes quite a long time to sort itself out when playing a recording and video is choppy.
4) When pressing "skip" the screen freezes for several moments before moving on.
Prior to 5.2.1 the actions mentioned in 1, 2 and 4 were pretty instantaneous and the audio syncing only took a couple of seconds. 1 and 2 seem to only be with the first recording after the client is launched, subsequent ones are fine. The same files played with VLC do not show any of these behaviours.
Logs after reproducing all the above behaviours are attached but the delays did not seem so marked this time.
Any help/advice/suggestions would be gratefully received. Thanks.
I have been using windows Media Center computer with windows 7 until recently. I used EPG123 to update my TV guides. I took the TV tuner card and installed it in my new Windows 10 computer. I installed NEXTPVR version 5.2.1. I noticed that the TV guides are limited. Can I use EPG123 to update my TV guide on NEXTPVR , if I can, how do I do that? or do I need to switch to Schedules Direct? I just renewed my subscription to EPG123 not that long ago.
Hello, first time trying NextPVR. Perhaps it is due to the fact that my Ubuntu PVR is too old, but I am receiving this error when trying to install NextPVR

Is the issue that my Ubuntu version is too old or is it that there is an issue with the current installer?
The title is fairly self-explanatory. The box is unchecked. Nextpvr has stopped recording duplicates. Posting so, if there is a problem, it can be identified, tweaked and avoided in future,
I'm on the way to replay my old VUDUO recorder with a RPI4 + Hauppauge WinTV DualHD am NextPVR.
I'v tried two ways with apparently same problem:
1. Kodi / Libreelec Distribution and Docker NextPVR
2. Raspberry PI OS (fresh installation yesterday with RPI Installer) + NextPVR via deb-Install.
Devices are listet correctly
Scan is successful
EPG-Update works
BUT: I cannot see an tv stream. Everything keeps blank / black :-
I found an error in the logs with conf-file not accessible and copied it:
sudo cp adapter1-DVB-C-channels.conf adapter0-DVB-C-channels.conf
The initial error in the log is gone, but there is still no video to see :-((
Please help ... I've searched around a lot but have no ideas left.
My instance of NextPVR seems to utilise anywhere from 30-50% of my GPU constantly whilst watching live TV but hardly touches it when watching recordings.
It also seems to do the same when sat on the guide page (albeit not quite as high) with an increase in CPU utilisation too, at anywhere from 5-15% constantly, as you can see in the screenshot. I'm running it at 1920x1080, fullscreen, 16:9, TV Viewer with the default skin etc. No customisation basically.
My current build is as follows:
Windows 10 Pro x64
NPVR 5.2.0 (210912)
Intel i7-3770K
Nvidia GTX 970
16GB RAM
The problem has followed me across a graphics card update from a GTX460 to the current build as well as an NPVR upgrade to the current also.
I've attached screenshots of my system monitor for all three scenarios. I've tried selecting the alternative decoders, installing a codec pack and have tried to install the D3D pack you suggested in another thread (found at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/de...laylang=en) which fails, suggesting that it has something newer already in place.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm a recent convert from MCE and am loving this app.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
A couple of days ago, I upgraded from Windows NextPVR V4 to V5. V4 had been working well, but I thought it was about time I upgraded. The problem is, V5 is not working so great for me. All of the recordings I made on V4 play back on V5 no problem, but none of the recordings made since I upgraded to v5 will play. I select the series, then the episode and click 'Play' and nothing happens. I have noticed LOTS of repeated messages in the log about MetaData. A zip of the logs is attached.
I appreciate any help which can be given. In the meantime I may go back to V4 if this cannot be resolved easily.
