I have 2 recording groups; Default and USB.
When I open "Timer Rules" and Edit one of the rules it shows many instances of the recording groups.
See attached pictures. A bug?

Ubuntu Linux
Nvidia Shield / Kodi Client
NextPVR Version: 5.1.4.210802

From scratch I wanted to rebuild my NextPVR database on my Linux PC and before doing so I exported my recordings. After getting everything set up I tried to import my recordings I had previously saved. However, I could not get it to work. Sometimes, when browsing and selecting the recordings zip file, nothing would show up in the "Import recordings" field. After repeated attempts the file name would show in the "Import recordings" field but when I hit the "Import" button the response would be "Localhost says" and it would be blank.

What I ended up doing was to extract the zip file and then import each file separately. 

I tried this same exercise except I exported and imported the recordings from a windows PC web client remotely. From a windows web client I could import the recordings zip file (previously exported and saved on the Windows PC).

I apologize but I didn't know where to post this question.

Some IPTV providers say you can only stream a certain number of devices. Does each IPTV connection to NextPVR count as one stream or can it stream more as it's only one server?

I copied over some recordings from my home server to my local server today. And thought that the easiest way to get them into my database would be to use NextImport and just point it to the root of my recording directory tree.

But, since I've got the side-by-side .ts and .mp4 versions (for the Roku client), NextImport ended up importing all of the .mp4 files as additional recordings! Oopps, that's not what I intended. Fortunately, I had made a backup of my database file, so not a big deal to fix.

Martin: Maybe you could add logic (either automatic or via a flag) to not import a .mp4 recording when the same .ts recording is already in the database.

For those of you using Schedules Direct, there is some changes underway in the SD service that will affect your ability to get artwork in NextPVR.

For NextPVR v5 users, if you log into the web app at http://localhost:8866, then view http://localhost:8866/service?method=set...d.clearart, then on the Settings->About page do an 'empty epg' followed by an 'update epg', your artwork will begin functioning again.

For NextPVR v4 users, you will stop receiving any artwork from Schedules Direct in a few weeks, so it might finally be time for you to think about upgrading to v5.

Hi,

I recently discover that NextPVR v5 wasn't in beta anymore. It is great, thanks .

I actually have v4 on WIndows and use the add-on on Kodi 18.9.
I will upgrade my Kodi to 19.1 but not for now.

I have some questions :

Should/could I upgrade my Nextpvr windows application to v5 now or should I wait to upgrade my Kodi to 19?

If I install V5, will my v4 be upgraded automatically or is it an independent installation?
I would like to keep my settings, recordings schedules, and guide if possible...

Thanks

have searched on forum about getting double channels in tv guide. i have tried suggestions from users but it still happening, it all started when i put updateepg.bat into the scripted folder. any idea's why?

Plain and simple; does or will NextPVR support DRM enabled channels? 

Cox Cable recently (Aug 2021) turned on DRM for all of their extended channels (channels not available over the air or through an antenna). 

Also, what would it take for NPVR to support DRM? I’m willing to pay some amount of money, if it requires some type of certification. 

This thread is also open to commiserate about Cox’s recent changes.

When choosing a program from the EPG to record once, I get this quite often.  This happens when the show is in progress, but not always.  Recently I was trying to reproduce this, and succeeded both times I tried.  Here is what I did and the results from both attempts.

I have a HDHomeRun Quatro tuner (4 tuners).  To be clear it is the ATSC 1.0 version, not the ATSC 3.

First attempt:
1. I chose a program to record, clicked on it from the EPG
2. I selected Record Once
3. I was returned to the EPG, but the program did not turn red
4. No data was being written to disk.
5. I switched tabs, then back to EPG
6. Still not red, and not recording.
7. I selected a different program to record, clicked on it from the EPG
8. Chose record once.
9. Both programs were now red in the EPG, and writing data to disk.

Second attempt:
1. I chose a program to record. 
2. program turned red and started recording
3. I chose a 2nd program to record
4. program turned red and started recording
5. I chose a 3rd program to record
6. program turned red and started recording
7. I chose a 4th program to record (Hawaii Five-o)
8. program DID NOT turn red, and did not record.

some time elapsed

9. one program stopped recording at 2:30 PM Pacific Time
10. Hawaii Five-o started recording and writing data to disk
11.  Still only 3 of my four tuners in use.  (verified from NextPVR, and from the HDHomeRun web app)
12. Selected a 4th program to record
13. program turned red and started recording

I hope this clears up the confusion from the other thread.  logs attached.
