Hello,
I finally upgraded to ver 5. 5.1.2 and am unable to change a few of the default settings under the client settings page. Unable to change to start in full screen and the channel header setting. I click on the changes I want to make but it does not save them for me. I do not see a save button on this screen.
Any advise would be great.
Thank you for you time.
Bruce
Hi! New user here, running version 5.1.2.210603 on a Raspberry Pi 3 (installed using deb file to Raspbian)
Bit new to Linux, but it's mostly working great! However I've found that the EPG update (both manual, and the overnight one) usually (like about 4 times out of 5) seems to tie up the tuner and I need to restart the Pi for it to start playing or recording TV again.
Attaching log with typical example.
Recordings worked well all day - the last one being 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' at 12:49:01 am to 2:02:00 am
Overnight EPG Update runs at 2:44 am
Next recording (Pokemon) at 3:51 am fails with an 'operation has timed out' error. Any subsequent recordings will fail with the same error, until I restart the Pi.
Looking at the log device-adaptor0.log, it appears there's an endless stream of 'Received XXX bytes from device so far' from starting at 2:47am, so I'm guessing the update is kicking off something that never finishes. When I run it manually and this happens, the UI does indicate that the update had finished.
Any ideas what's happening? Tuner is a cheap generic device that I got from eBay, so I'm guessing it could be the weak link here, but thought I'd ask before I shell out for something a bit fancier.
I am using the latest version of Raspberry OS 32 bit and the latest version of NextPVR. I am trying to record and watch tv using my WD Mycloud as a recording storage/mycloud. I have successfully mounted a wd mycloud share using the following line on my fstab file -
It works fine as I can write to the share no problem from the raspberry pi. When I try to watch a channel though I get a Failed to start requested them error. Here is the error that shows up in the log.
021-06-07 19:26:31.761 [ERROR][24] Unexpected error creating TSWriter map: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '/live-CBOT-DT-603-1.ts.map' is denied.

at NShared.Writer.OutputSink..ctor(String filename)
I cannot record anything either.
I also tried in accordance to another thread that I saw on the NextPVR blog to change the credentials under which the service runs from user nextpvr to user pi group pi - but that never worked. I got some kind of internal error on the screen and here is the type of error I received in the log.
If I do not use the wd mycloud to record/watch tv, NextPVR performs fine. I even tried unmounting the wd mycloud from the pi and tried to write to the same directory to which the wd mycloud was mounted and it worked.
I am far from an expert in Linux. I have spent way too many hours on this issue and am just about ready to give up on it. Anyways, any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Is there a way to add a channel manually in v5? I did a search and read a thread from 2018, but that apparently doesn't apply to v5. I've gone to Settings>Devices but apparently my only option once I get there is to pick a device and re-scan. The channel I'm interested in adding is KTXA, virtual channel 21-1, physical channel 18.
I just did a re-scan on one of my tuners (I have 6), and the channel did not show up in the results. The tuner I scanned is a Hauppauge WinTV-7164 BDA ATSC/QAM Tuner (ATSC). I have two of these and 4 Hauppauge WinTV 885 ATSC Tuner/Demod (ATSC) tuners
When I scan three TVs in my house, the subject channel shows up, so it's there and the signal quality is OK.
Watched show, hit stop to end watching. Totally black screen, unresponsive. Have to switch to Task Manager and end NextPVR, which shows as not responding. Happened a handful of times.
This log is from a minute or 2 after the latest occurrence.
My IPTV source supplies a m3u file I ingest into NextPVR. I then have to rename the channels to what I want and apply the correct schedules direct programming guide for each channel, about 100 of them. My IPTV source has multiple "feeds" for each channel so if one is performing badly they say to just try another source or different URL. When I create a new m3u file and try to update m3u function in nextPVR it completely wipes all the schedule direct configs I did and I have to do all 100 again.
Looking at the npvr.db3 file I see the URLs in the CHANNEL_MAPPING database and I correct the URL to the new URL I want and then go to Channels page in NextPVR settings and the new URL is reflected, however when I play the channel it reverts the URL back to what was in the original m3u file. Where else do I have to edit the URL for a channel so that it doesnt revert back and I dont have to keep configuring the schedules direct programing guide for each channel?
My Astrometa is working fine with W10 and progdvb.
I did install nextpvr with no problems, Astrometa DVB-T- and DVB-C-tuner was recognized. When scanning all frequencies@256QAM@6900 KSym/s nextpvr finds no channels.
I rebooted the PC and made sure no instances of progdvb are running. Same result.
I have a bunch of recordings from NextPVR v4 that I imported into the v5 .db3 file with some help from Martin and others on the forum (thanks!).
Unfortunately, when I view or play these recordings through the UI from the "Videos" menu the show description from the EPG does not display, either in the preview (prior to playback) or in the OSD when the Blue Button is pressed during playback.
I used sqlitebrowser to go through the .db3 file and see that the EPG info does appear in the SCHEDULED_RECORDING table in the event_details field.
I did discover, though, if I dig through the "Recordings" menu and find the exact same recording, the EPG info is displayed in preview AND on the OSD during playback. Does this make sense? NextPVR must be doing something different in Recordings and Videos?
All of my newer recordings made under v5 show the EPG correctly in preview and playback from both Recordings and Videos.
I'm running Linux Mint for the server, and Kodi with knewc on the server as well as several clients and have the same results on all clients.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Logs attached, if that gives any more info. I was experimenting with Psych.S01E01.Pilot, but it's pretty wide-spread from what I've seen.
Hi, wondered if someone could help. I've been using NPVR for quite a few months without issue, but for the last week or so any live TV transmissions stop after about 20 minutes. They seem to be ok if I happen to be recording the channel at the same time, which I found out by accident. I use NPVR via Kodi, but this is also happening for me via the web app.
I have Version: 5.1.2.210603 installed and logs attached.
Since upgrading to NextPVR v5.1.2.210603 shortly after its release (and v5.1.2.210601 prior to that) I have been getting 'Database Locked' errors throughout the day. The web ui is very slow to respond too, I guess due to these errors. I am at a loss to know what is locking the database as this PI is not used for anything else other than NextPVR/Comskip and has preformed flawlessly up to now. I have attached the latest logs if that help;s.
