I'm not sure how long this has been going on, a month or two, but live TV has been doing a lot of buffering and then audio/video gets out of sync.
I have three TV's on WIFI and one on wire. The WIFI I could understand, and that's part of why I kind of ignored it, thinking that I'm having signal issues, but more recently, my primary TV has been having the exact same issue. I turn on the TV(s), with the WIFI TV's, I normally get audio and it takes several seconds for the video to catch up. However, like I said, I'm now seeing similar on the primary TV, which is wired. I turn on live TV, I get buffering, although much quicker to sync up, then after watching for a few minutes it it starts buffering again and all of a sudden, audio and video are out of sync. Never used to do this.
I use RPi' 4B's on the WIFI and a 3B+ on the wired TV. Linux on the NPVR client, just upgraded to V5.1.2.210603 and fully patched the client as well.
Thinking about reinstalling everything (not having any problems, but I have a lot of orphaned files left over from years of experimenting). I typically install Ubuntu Server now if I can, and avoid the GUI. Will that work for NextPVR?
Walmart seems to be almost giving away the Tivo Android TV 4K at $19 in the store right now as they liquidate it for their own player soon. It actually isn't going to be a better box. You can de-Tivo these boxes to get close to stock Android TV and they are pretty clean.
What I find nice about the Tivo for Kodi and NextPVR use is that the remote has number and channel up/down keys which is rare in Android boxes. I made my demo of 4 UI's for NextPVR on this box https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=62449 and I didn't see any issues.
Hi. This new update has some sort of issue with the Auto aspect ratio. It works OK on most channels but for some reason misinterprets the correct layout on at least 2 channels. The issue seems to be when a station is transmitting an old tv show in 480i. I imagine these old tv shows were 4:3 ratio. However NPVR displays them in strange squashed format where people look really thin and tall... so I guess it must be adding black bars on the sides ??? where none are needed. The 2 channels I am sure it does this on are 29.2 TBD networks and 29.3 Charge network. This same thing happens whether I watch with the NPVR client or watch with the browser (EDGE). If I select FILL aspect in the client then the picture appears to have normal proportions.
The odd thing is that I would have expected other tv channels showing old programs in 480i to have the same issue but they do not appear to at this time. Why would only these ones be affected?
If I check my regular TV (LG) these same channels dont have any aspect issue. I did not see this issue happening on the old version of NPVR from March.
Hope this helps you. I watched each of the 2 channels I am posting about just before creating the logs.
time ago, i had some problems with NPVR and my Digital-Devices Tuner Card.
Last week, the cable provider changed the channelsetup, so a new scan is mandatory to get the new frequencies/channel IDs, etc.
I now have the problem, that NPVR does not see channels on a lot of the transponders. The channel list is correct (you integrated my DVC-C Full scan for QAM256 time ago).
I did a little research, and i changed the settings for one channel in the SQL database, to a frequency, that NPVR does not recognize at all, and the channel works. So tuning to it, does not seem to be the problem......
I also tried the software from Digital Devices, the software does not have problem finding the channels, that NPVR does not recognise. So i am very sure, it is not a hardware problem, the card works correct. It is simply NPVR that does see the channels, so i cant add them. I tried all 8 tuners, they behave all the same.
Perhaps you remember the problem from about a year ago, and this is a similar problem again. Perhaps you can help me..... Would be great!
Attached you find the log files. If you look at them: I did a lot of scans, wich i quit early, because if i have seen, that on a frequency with channels nothing was found, i quit the search. The last scan, for you, was tuner number 4, full scan. For example, on 138 MHz, there should be radio and encrypted channels, on 178 MHz, there should be a lot of TV stations. nothing is found at all. These are only 2 examples, so you can look at. There are a lot of frequencies with the same behaviour.

When I play TV programs from web client, it will stop streaming after some time. If I change Live TV Buffer Minutes to 2, it will stop streaming very soon. What can I do?
NextPVR version is 5.1.2.210603. My TV USB Stick is Avermedia A827. NextPVR logs attached.
try this again! Somehow uploaded the wrong image in the original post. Sorry to repost, but I figure no one needs to know about my pool problems!

It appears that the guide is correct, but when I search for a show, it doesn't always show the new tag where it should. See the below screen cap.
(still can't upload images for some reason, so here is a OneDrive link)
Ever since I upgraded to the newest version 5.1.2.210603 I can no longer view live TV in the web page, in the Windows app or on my android phone. The web page stays black after halting at a random receive data value, the windows app eventually shows a pixel-ly block view of trash and the android app acts like the web page. Since nothing works it could be something that happened to my installation, but I don't know were to start looking. Can you help with the assistance of logs? Thank you.
I'm new to nextpvr.
Ive got it recording great, but when I watch back my recordings, there seems to be no way of fast forwarding or skipping to a time.
when I try to click a time on the progress bar, the bar moves, but the recording starts from beginning?
is this something I'm doing wrong?
P.S I'm watching my recordings on an android device
