Not sure why but this is the second time in recent months that my updates from SchedulesDirect have stopped working after working fine for a while (ATSC/Canada). Guide is empty. What logs do I need to look at?
I have been recording a series and after the videos were edited and encoded to a smaller file size, I deleted the original files. However I have now found some issues and want to record some of the same episodes again. I know that I can do a "nextpvr.exe -removehistory", to delete the history, but I assume that deletes all history for all recordings. Is there any way to manually edit this and only delete the history for one show?
Also, how can I prevent this in the future? Is the only way to do this is to highlight the recording in nextpvr and click "forget" before deleting it? That is kind of cumbersome if you have tens or even hundreds of recordings. Is there a better way? Thanks.
Hello everyone,
I have found a possible bug where when I boot up Nextpvr client ( On the same computer as the server) I encounter the main menu will pop up with the TV guide not being populated. I have a click on the screen to pull up the Guide info.
Am I missing something within the settings?
Thank you for your time.

Request: Check all Channel_Mapping entries when Tuning a Channel, until a signal lock is obtained
In the current logic, NextPvr seems to select a Tuner (Capture Source) which is 'available' and then attempt to tune from that single Capture Source. If the channel cannot be tuned on the selected tuner, the recording/live TV fails.
This Enhancement Request is for NextPVR to try the next available tuner if a datastream is not received within a reasonable timeout period and to continue until all mapped tuners for that channel have been tried.
Scenario 1:
The 'first prioriy' tuner(s) is/are not working due to a cable/equipment fault/LNB Obstruction etc - there are other tuners that would tune if they were tried
Scenario 2:
A Channel is mapped (merged) to a Satellite Source and a Terrestrial Source . The Satellite is transmitted 24 hours per day, but the terrestrial signal is only transmitted for part of the day (usally due to channel sharing due to limited transmission capacity). If the terrestrial tuners is selected during downtime, the channel cannot be watched.
As a test of Scenario 2, my DVB-S tuners come before the DVB-T tuners. If 'ReversePriorityForLiveTV' is TRUE, a channel cannot be watched during DVB-T downtime. If it is FALSE, the channel tunes OK.
A note on Timeouts: During 'downtime' on DVB-T, there seems to be some form of signal (on a TV, a message is displayed along the lines of 'Programs start at 19:00'). The timeout should take into account the expected data rate for the channel being tuned - a Radio Station will have a much lower data rate than TV
I am very new/not super technologically savvy. I've gotten NextPVR set up with Kodi, however I only get TV listings for 24 hours. I have it hooked up to antenna and am a very casual user. Is this normal? I have updated it and tried emptying it and reupdating, but it stays the same. Are there any free TV EPGs? I've seen a few for $5 a month, but I don't use it enough for that to be worth it.
I recently upgraded to 5.1.2.210603 all seemed good then following day channels would not stream To explain I have a twin DVBT (which behaves as expected) and a quad DVB-S - it is this latter which seems weird
I scan the DVB-T device - channels found - I delete the channels I dont want - I automap to the ATSC epg source - I then open second DVB-T device I copy the set up from the first ALL works as expected I try to do same with one of the DVB-s device - scan for channels - delete ones I dont want (tedious but ai cant find a fast way of doing this) - merge duplicate channels (ditto) - apply schedules direct epg source - At this stage everything's fine - I see the channels and they stream Now I add a second device copying the settings from the first At first thngs seem ok - then channels stop after a minute or so - soon on cannot open any stream
I thought it might be one of the tuners on my quad dvb-s board was dodgy so Ive tried with different combos of device (a fitst then B copied or d first then c copied etc but it always produces same result -
I have looked at teh logs but I am not sure what to look for or what they are telling me
Can anyone suggest a cause - its obviously something in my set up but what ? Can tuner cards break down like this oh also when one looks at the device status after this appears it often shows on device in use with 'null.ts'
