I am running 7.0.1 (241229) on a Windows 10 computer and I use Schedules Direct for my EPG source.  When I use either the Web App or the Desktop App to record an NFL Football game, I am unable to get it to record just one game.  It will record every NFL Football game on that channel for the next 2 weeks, which is the maximum time populated by Schedules Direct.  

In the past I have always double clicked on the entry in the TV Guide, then clicked "Record".  I would then set the post-padding to 20 minutes to ensure that I get the full recording if it goes over.  I then select "Record Once" for Recording Type.  Then I click "OK".   The Keep is set to "All Recordings" because I do not want previous recordings of games to be deleted automatically.  

I will then look in the Scheduler and there will be a single pending NFL Football game (the one I scheduled).  Then the next week when more games are on, I will notice several recordings scheduled.  I keep thinking that I am doing something wrong so I am being very careful to select the correct thing, but this keeps happening.  I have used NPVR to record certain NFL games for many years and this never happened before this year when I upgraded from the old 4.2.4 to version 7.

nextpvr version:  7.0.3.250920

Since updating to this version I have noticed that the season and episode numbers are not being correctly identified for some
programs when using the broadcast EPG.  My location is the UK.

An example is as follows:
   From nextpvr:
   Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing
   (S00E01) Paul and Bob travel to Hampshire to fly fish in the idyllic River Itchen with their trusty canine friend Ted in tow. Also in HD. [S,AD]

The raw EPG  had the following data:
   name: "Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone...",
   description: "...Fishing. 1/6. Paul and Bob travel to Hampshire to fly fish in the idyllic River Itchen with their trusty canine friend Ted in tow. [S,AD] [HD]"

There are quite a few UK shows using this n/n format which do not appear to be identified correctly.

If you need any further details, let me know.
 50920   7.0.3.2509207.

I have NextPVR installed on a Win10 machine, using Kodi as client. Works fine (records per schedule, plays back as expected) except for one issue - we cannot get the closed-captions (AKA subtitles) to play. In Kodi, if I click on the subtitle icon, a window pops up showing that they are enabled but that it doesn't have the file... clicking to find the file reveals an icon of the show I'm watching but selecting it appears to load an "unknown" file. Worse, when I try to restart the playback, Kodi freezes and eventually I can get kicked back to the main screen or out the app altogether.

If I am watching the show live with either the browser client or the native client (can't remember which) I can get the subtitles but if it's playing a recorded show it's iffy.

Any suggestions welcome as my wife really needs the subtitles on many shows.

I keep getting failed recording (maybe 50%) on my headless Debian server but I can't understand why from the logs. I attached the portion of the log I think is pertinent then I attached the full logs.
Is it having trouble with the stream? Is there something I can do to make it more consistent?

I also keep seeing these PowerManagement StayAwake (needs implementation)

I googled but don't believe I have any power management active on the server. I've never known it to sleep in the years I've had it.

Hello

I am attempting to complete the move of NextPVR from version 4 on a Windows computer to version 7 on linux.  I've got NextPVR up and running on the linux computer and everything is great.  Now I'm attempting to get my library of recordings from the Windows computer to show up on the linux system.  So far what I've done is:

Add a NAS to the network, create a shared folder for the old NPVR recordings, and copy all of the recordings to the new share.
Copy the old NPVR database and other config and backup files to a different shared folder on the NAS (the copy was updated immediately prior to attempting to run NextTool).
Make sure there are no permission issues with any of these file shares (all good).
Add the NextTool files to /opt/nextpvr/system and create the soft links as instructed in the wiki.
Reboot the linux system.
Backup the database, config, etc files on the new linux setup (immediately prior to attempting to run NextTool).
Attempt to run NextTool with the following command:

sudo -u nextpvr /opt/dotnet/dotnet /opt/nextpvr/system/NextTool.dll --merge /mnt/badcorginas_share/Configuration

This was the result:

A fatal error was encountered.  The library 'libhostpolicy.so' required to execute the application was not found in 'opt/nextpvr/system/'.
Failed to run as a self-contained app.
 - The application was run as a self-contained app because '/opt/nextpvr/system/NextTool.runtimeconfig.json' was not found.
 - If this should be a framework-dependent app, add the '/opt/nextpvr/system/NextTool.runtimeconfig.json' file and specify the appropriate framework.

(Note:  any typos in those results are mine since I'm logged in here on a different computer and I couldn't just cut and paste.)

So where do I get the libhostpolicy.so?  Is that a standard linux download from somewhere?
Also, in the zip file I downloaded to get NextTool the runtimeconfig.json file is called NextEnd.runtimeconfig.json.  Is that a typo?

Any help you can give me is much appreciated.

Hi all.

I've had a drive failure where I keep recordings. I'm going to replace it and recreate the same recording paths. (Replacement will be fault tolerant!)

What is the best way to prune these now orphaned recording entries from the DB? If I delete them from the NPVR web-UI, will they delete out of the DB even if the physical file(s) can no longer be located? Or is there another, better way?

Thank you

Hi to all
A few months ago, I purchased an August T210 tuner. Perfect installation, channel scanning ok but a month later the problems started. When I restarted the PC, nextPVR did not recognize the tuner. First I uninstalled next PVR, deleted the registry key and carried out new clean installation. This way the tuner was recognized, but when I went to tune channels, I couldn't find any channels. I thought - The tuner doesn't work. So I bought Hauppauge WinTV-HD only once the same problem was installed... no channels. Installed its WinTV 10 sw tuned, found channels and everything works. I would like to solve this problem to continue using nextPVR with Kodi. Can you help me?

Hi Folks

As of this morning, I am using the `docker image: nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64table` - prior to this I have had NextPVR working well for years with Windows 10.

(This is Docker in an LXC on Proxmox, hardware is a Hauppage WinTV 2200 PCI card).

It's mostly working well, I can stream TV etc...but I just cannot get it to tune ABC here in Melbourne (I'm located reasonably centrally).  Previously I've had no issues tuning ABC under Windows (although I do recall, very long ago, I perhaps had to modify some config somewhere but not sure if that was ABC related or something else...)

It appears you're now using: https://git.linuxtv.org/dtv-scan-tables....-Melbourne - is that right?  And the files I found in the docker tuning folder are not used?

In any case, I have tried all the available options vaguely related to Melbourne (and my state, Victoria) options in the list - none result in ABC becoming available.  The main Melbourne available options are all for towers quite some distance from central Melbourne, and there is a more local option:

https://ozdigitaltv.com/transmitters/VIC/720-Melbourne, which lists:

ABC
ABC43
634.500 Mhz

vs what seems to be in the current Melbourne related entries:

ABC
ABC12
226.500 Mhz

(I am fairly confident I was using 226.500 in the past though, as it happens).  Perhaps something is going on with signal strength - it is possible to extend the searching time and/or lower the threshold to see what happens?  I've ne ver had any actual playback issues once things were tuned.

Is there some way to explicitly try particular frequencies, rather than use these lists (that are seemingly rather incomplete)?   Basically - what can I do to get this solved?

(I see recommendations for tscapture etc for daignosis - is there a Linux equivalent?)

Is there an easier way of trimming an IPTV list? I think this last time I chose three categories but I still end up with hundreds of channels when I really need only a few. I bring up the list where you can uncheck the boxes but there's no save function that I can see so the channels remain active? Is there an easy way to pick 5 or 6 channels?

I have had issues for years with LAV filters decoders losing sync between the audio and video. I have recently been experimenting with Kodi as a front end and the Inputstream FFmpeg Direct codec that it uses seems far superior for .ts playback. Is there a way to use that decoder in NextPVR front end? My wife has trouble reading the text in Kodi’s gui and prefers the text size in NextPVR.
