I've noticed that in the web interface, there's a way to select a date in the guide, and I can use a mouse to advance time. That doesn't appear to be the case in the client.
Am I wrong, or am I missing something? How do you advance the date/time in the client presentation of the guide with only a mouse?
I’m using NextPVR 5.2.0.210912 with “Use file names with Plex date format” enabled.
It works most of the time and Plex can see the recorded .ts files in the library, except I had one program with an exclamation mark “!” in the title. In this case, Plex was unable to recognize the recording.
Edit: adding that Plex’s own DVR records this program without the exclamation mark in the file name.
The computer that I use is mostly for HDTV recordings. Over the years I've had intermittent unexpected shutdowns. Running test recordings during the past month and checking or disabling various services or features has still resulted in at least one crash a week. Daily test recordings are from 9:00 PM to 9:30 PM with 5 minute paddings. The PC is set to sleep after 45 minutes.
The latest event message appeared this morning. "The previous system shutdown at 10:18:49 PM on 9/16/2021 was unexpected."
Digging into the NPVR logs I found 'device-FusionHDTV, BDA Tuner-1.log' with the same time stamp. Viewing the log files and making some comparisons to other log files of similar names showed some interesting results.
The end of the file ending in .2 log shows the following messages. The .1 log shows similar results but ends at line 6.

I know that this entry in the config.xml sets how many days NEXTPVR will "remember" a recorded program after it has been deleted and therefore not record it again. And I know the default value is 90. I currently have it set to 1. But I was wondering what would happen if I set it to 0. If (for example) I had S02E10 of a show recorded and I deleted it, would it record it again even if it aired 10 minutes after I deleted it? I have "record all episodes" selected. Before I delete the file, that episode would not be flagged to be recorded, but after I delete it, would I have to open NextPVR and do something or would NextPVR automatically set the show to be recorded immediately after I delete it, with no further input from me?
Also, do I have to delete the show from within NextPVR for the episode to record again, or can I just delete it using Windows Explorer?
One other question, what happens if S02E10 of a show has been recorded and has not been deleted, then I manually go in to NextPVR and in the TV Guide section click the S02E10 episode (which would not be set to be recorded since I already have it) and set it to be recorded. Will it delete the existing recording and write over it, or will it save it with a new name?
The reason I ask this is that I have been trying to record a 2 parter (30 minute each episode) for a while. The problem is that the network will air the episodes back to back and they have the exact same listing. Even thought one is really S02E10 and the other is S02E11, they show them both as S02E10 and both with the same name for the episode. So it will flag the first one for recording, but not the second one because it thinks it already has it recorded. I thought I could just go in and double click the recording for the first part and set the post padding to 30 minutes so that I would have a single 1 hour recording with containing both parts, but it seems NEXTPvr set that back to the default value and only recorded the first 30 minutes.
Hi i have nextpvr set up and running fine on windows and am trying to figure out how to stream the live channels through emby. I have emby installed signed up for premier and downloaded and installed the latest nextpvr plugin 3.7.4 and entered my credentials and can see my recordings but cannot access the live channels. What am i missing?
Hi all. Been setting up NextPVR, testing for recording a specific show. A manual recording started during the show worked properly. However, when I try to do a recurring recording, it doesn't record, and it gives an error - "Recording service not running at recording time". Does this mean I need to keep the NextPVR client running all the time? I figured all it needed was the NextPVR service running, which it was.
