I'm new to using the IPTV device functions in NVPR. I've had a look at the instructions, but they don't provide much detail.
I've managed to get some channels working from an .m3u8 link but I can't figure out how to use the filtering in the add-channels dialog to reduce the size of the list of channels, so I'm stuck with trying to wade through 100's of channels from all over the world - a bit fiddley. I've unticked a heap of countries, and tried to use the "filter by Channel Group" but it only offers me "Select All" or "All Channels" as options.
I've also now got a VOD menu item with two Italian channels that don't work - How can I delete them? They don't appear in the Channels list of any device.
As far as IPTV links go, should I stick to only using .m3u rather than .m3u8? (not sure of the difference)
Is there a particular format that I should look for - I saw on Matt Huisman's site that he has Raw, Kodi, or TV-Headend formats - which is best for NPVR?
Apologies if this is Newbie stuff, but I couldn't find anything in the forum that answered my questions.

2021-09-22 06:00:19.500 [DEBUG][14] Marking recording (12547) as 'Recording service not running at recording time'
I am running NPVR on a Windows Server Essentials setup, with LightsOut installed, which will hibernate the server if there are no clients connected or no activity. I configured the ParallelProcessing batch file to create a text file while recording is taking place, and LightsOut to monitor the text file. Once the recording is complete, the text file is deleted, and the server is put back into hibernation.
Now NScriptHelper.dll is having issues, this is not working. Has anyone else seen this issue before with the script helper? I have attached the other relevant logs to the post.
I have tried to move my recordings folder from my C: drive to another local drive.
To this I used 'export recordings' to a zip file, moved the Recorded folder to the other local drive then imported the recording xml.
I then corrected the recordings folder in setup so future recordings go to the new drive.
I suspected this may result in duplicate entries which it did, half of which play nothing as the content is not there anymore, but hoped that Npvr would clean itself up somehow but it does not appear to.
I have gone from 150 recordings to 300 and would like some relatively easy way to clean the database up without manually deleting each duplcate entry in Kodi.
First let me say thank you for this software. So far it has been very easy to setup and use. I have read about all the threads I can find on the subject and can't figure this one piece out.
Setup - HDPVR with DTV STB. I can't get IR blasting to work without NextPVR so gave up and wanting to just use IP over the network.
It seems no matter what I put in the two fields for the setup - I can't make it work ... though I can change channels all day long at the command prompt.
Also moved those things to batch file and just called the batch file with {channel} but nothing works. Although the logs would lead you to believe it is calling the program.

I finished installing NextPVR (in ubuntu) and was able to scan in a bunch of channels. But when I try to watch any channels (via the same firefox that's configuring things) I get the error:
Streaming Failed: Transcoder Exited
In line 54 of my device-adapter0.log, I see an error at the same time:
2021-09-21 13:19:23:969 [ERROR] Failed to get tuning params for (KING-HD) from /var/opt/nextpvr/adapter0-ATSC-channels.conf
The adapter1.log is mostly empty.
I'm not sure where to start with figuring out what that means. I noticed first that the referenced file didn't even exist! But an "adapter1..." file did exist, and it shows an entry for the channel:
All I could think of doing was copying the adapter1 file and naming it adapter0, but that didn't change anything. I'm feeling like those monkeys at the beginning of 2001 Space Odyssey.
I've been trying to get the Plato TV extra working on my test system but I've run into a issue and I can't get a stream started. I believe I have everything correct but apparently not. The channels show up correctly within NPVR when trying to start a stream it errors out with "streaming failed (transcoder exited)".
The test system is a headless clean Ubuntu 20.04 server VM install with 4 cores and 8gb of ram. The only items installed other than the base install is NextPVR, Streamlink, python3 and the various Streamlink required mondles. NPVR has nothing setup but the PlatoTV extra. The log attached is clean, the system was rebooted, "channels" clicked in the web interface and a channel selected. Once the stream failed I grabbed the log.
i recently did a fresh install of corelec and then docker and npvr. i am running nvpr 5.2.0.210912 .
i found the value in config.xml <SortChannelGroups>false</SortChannelGroups> does not appear to be repected and all my groups in Kodi show in alphabetical order, rather then the order i have configured in my M3u.
i tried deleting Kodi epg and tvdb and rebooting a few times, and also a couple more completely fresh installs of corelelc (latest ng nightly and also latest ng stable) but no change.
has something changed in this image relating to this setting - more i need to do perhaps?
previously i was on an older 5.1 docker version of npvr and the setting was working fine, i also have npvr on my win 10 PC (5.1.1.210329) and if i point my kodi box to that as back end, and delete kodi epg and tvdb files, the groups show in kodi in order i set in my m3u, not alphabetical as i see in latest docker image.
