With v4, I had the Ch+ & Ch- buttons on my remote mapped to 'Page Up' & 'Page Down'. This did page up & down on the EPG screen, and also changed channels while watching live TV.
Ch+ (Page Up) incremented the channel number (ie from 2 to 3), and Ch- 'Page down' did the opposite (3 to2).
With v5, this seems to be reversed. In live TV, Ch+ is moving up the channel list, (ie 2 to 1) and Ch- is moving down the channel list (2 to 3)
This is causing confusion and frustration in my household. Is there any way I can get this to behave like v4?
(I know I can map Ch+ and Ch- to '+' & '-' to change channels, but these don't do anything on the EPG screen.)
If not, can I request a change or option to change this behavious in a future release please?
I think I could do with a bit of help if somebody could oblige.
PVR is having trouble updating the EPG overnight.
Between ~3-7 days after a full update gaps start appearing. A manual update only scans one frequency, updates a number between single digits up to a few thousand of listings and is likely to wipe some previously included, correct listings of channels not even broadcast over the frequency it has updated from. These sometimes showing gaps or alternatively showing “no listings”.
The overnight updates do seem to be doing something as they can also delete previously correct listings and surprisingly reinstate recordings of programmes in a series that I have already told it I do not want it to record.
Update: Since I wrote this the EPG update has failed after 1 day with massive gaps appearing where there were no gaps yesterday.
I added some channels to NextPVR and since I don't have an epg source I went ahead and inserted into the database using DB Browser. I can see the channels and correct epg info in the NextPVR web app as well as Emby. The channels show up in Kodi but there is no guide info.
Would anyone have any ideas of where to look to help troubleshoot this?
Finally getting round to migrating to v5 as I'm home alone for the first time in almost 2 years.
Setting up my remote to work with the v5 Windows client - with v4 I had the 'menu' button on my remote set up, and this would show the main menu without stopping playback. I believe this did the same thing as the 'Home' key on the keyboard. This meant you could go to the full TV Guide, browse recordings etc without stopping your TV channel or recording.
This doesn't seem to work with v5. Is this functionality still available? Has the key mapping changed?
Let me use this opportunity the appreciate developers supporting NextPVR application. You guys are amezing! I am noticing one big issue when recording VOD streams from my IPTV provider. Regardless of the settings on the "Manual Record" window in NextPVR server browser page, the movies are always incomplete. I am running NextPVR server version 5.1.4.2 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS server. I've always used movie time from IMDB.com to adjust the length of the recording, but each recording is between ten to fifteen minutes short. Please how can I resolve this issue as this is preventing me from building my local movie library for later viewing.
Installed v5. Seems to work OK (I like the web interface) but scan does not find two important channels (BBC1 and BBC2). Finds 92 other channels. The old version always found them. Finds two HD channels (BBC1 HD and BBC2 HD) but not all the BBc programmes are HD. Can live with this, just about, but am I doing something wrong or is there some setting to fix this?
Via perhaps slower clients (like FF on Android phone), using the web browsers, i click on program guide entries, click on 'record once', the window with the program details closes, but the entry in the program guide doesn't turn 'red' to show that it has been scheduled to record.
So i refresh the program guide page in the browser, it still doesn't show up as red, so i repeat the above steps. Most of the times it does show up as red.
However, when i looked at the Scheduler the next day, i see duplicates in the recording schedule. Is this a known bug?
ETA: not the latest August update yet, still running the July update (5.1.3.210711)
Installed and configured v5 over the weekend. Changed my password successfully but now can't login. Keeps failing. Is there a way to recover it, or reset it?
I am entering it exactly the same as when I changed it. It doesn't make sense that I entered it incorrectly twice when changing it. I have tried several variations with the caps lock on/off - no luck.
