I am able to watch and record TV using WinTV 10, but nothing with NextPVR. Error message "Streamig Failed (transcoder exited). Video Encoder is set to CPU.
When using the NextPVR Windows client, I get a few seconds of sound and then a box that says "...please wait..." that never goes away and no picture appears. Doing this seems to load a one minute clip in the Pause Buffer directory, which has proper audio and video from that channel.
Any advice would be appreciated. Log Files attached. Thanks
Setup: Hauppauge HVR-1265 - 57 OTA ATSC Channels are programmed and EPG is loaded.
Hauppauge WinTV 10 installed

MS Win 10 Pro 64-bit
Firefox browser (Chrome and Edge have same result)
I have been running NextPVR server under LibreElec for almost a year without any problems. However over the last month or so I have been having EPG problems. Most channels use Freesat EPG but some use DVB-T EPG. Over recent weeks it has been getting worse until now I have no EPG after 17:30 om Wednesday. An EPG update now immediately fails.
Under Guide menu option EPG Sources there is DVB/ATSC and in the Setup box as well as the three DVB-T frequencies there is 10818 which is the transponder where BBC Four is located on Freesat. This channel has had no EPG for some weeks either Freesat or DVB. I dont know if its a cause or effect of the EPG problems!
To test things I just built a LibreElec test server and installed NextPVR but there is no response from the web page on port 8866.
Enclosed is Logs after EPG update on the main server!
I just built a new server and installed truenas on it. I installed npvr via the apps section. This is a brand new build yet it says I am using npvr version 7.0.1.241229 and version 7.0.3.250920 is available. How do I get the latest version. thanks.
To avoid potential confusion LibreELEC and CoreELEC updates for Omega final and Piers alpha starting today now could include a new 7.0.4 version of the NextPVR service. This is a legitimate version that sub authorized me to send out and it will be distributed to other platforms when he has the time to publish the full release.
7.0.4 is definitely a patch release and most of the changes have already been released on the forum. For LibreELEC users this is notable as that release for various reasons had been frozen on 7.0.1. Note for 7.0.3 users reading this there was a notable issue with devices with multiple tuners creating multiple copies of the EPG table. This was fixed early on but you may have missed it https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid603887 It also includes this most recent patch https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid604286 if you want to have close to 7.0.4 functionality today.
It was not really the patches that prompted me to ask sub to release 7.0.4 early though. The current LE updates include a ffmpeg build that has software encoding of h264 enabled on aarch64 for use by the NextPVR web player. I had asked them for this thinking that the RPi5 and another new SoC the RK3588 were capable enough and it turns out I was right they play nicely As bonus even older RPi4's and the new S905X5M based boxes can transcode fast enough (especially within the ultrafast configuration) leaving room for local Kodi playback recording etc. The Odroid N2 works as well, but ultrafast is also better. The CoreELEC repo may not have all the pieces just yet, but if anyone needs them let me know.
Speaking of the S905X5M CoreELEC boxes while they do some limitations with USB I consider it a milestone that these new chips are capable of doing h264 transcoding and doing it cheaply ($60) and silently without a fan. Since they can do 4K too, for me this is really up there with the MVP and PCH doing MPEG2 or H264 better than a PC. The same chip is being used in the latest generation xiaomi box which dual boots CE and Android. It is also in the latest Walmart ONN which sadly cannot boot CE. So props to the LE and CE teams that keep developing for these platforms, things can only get better.
I had previously installed NextPVR with a Hauppauge Collosus 2 PCIe card in 2023. I had successfully imported channels from xmltv at the time and I believe it was auto updating. I was unable to get Hauppauge IR Blaster to control my Bell (Arris) 2502 STB however and gave up for a long while.
This week I tried harder and I was able to get the Hauppauge IR blaster to learn the IR codes from my Bell remote.
And I wanted to use the NextPVR IR blaster wrapper to PVR but I soon found I was unable to update the NextPVR channel listings.
I foolishly emptied my EPG and then tried to setup the device and update the channels and listings. Nothing was imported (0/0/0). I then noticed that the Hauppauge device was showing as a HDPVR (Sienna Crossbar) and not the Colossus. I updated Hauppauge Capture and WinTV10 to be sure I had the latest drivers. Windows device manager is showing I have the latest drivers for the Colossus. I uninstalled NextPVR and reinstalled only to fail again at importing channels and the device in NextPVR is still showing as HDPVR. Hauppauge Capture and WinTV10 are both working as they should. NextPVR will not import channels for my device. NextPVR is even saying no devices are active even though it appears in the device list.
I am stumped. Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi,
I've just installed Nextpvr on my ubuntu laptop. All fine except the dvb channel scan from my hauppauge usb receiver. I just can't find a profile able to find more than 5 channels. I've used W_scan to create a list of channel and converted it to a format like the .conf file as found in the /var/opt/nextpvr folder, it's much more quicker than having to try 40 different scan profiles, but that list is not taken into account into the backend.
I'm wondering if there's a way to import my custom channel list, cause frankly having to spot the right scan profile is not working for me (not even the closest location!).
Hello,
Don't know if it's the right place to ask my question ..
I use NextPVR on Intel PC (server) windows 11 pro.
I use dvb-t2 tuner all is ok.
I want to add a free iptv channel : https://viamotionhsi.netplus.ch/live/eds...eplus.m3u8 but no success (video but no sound on RPI5 Libreelec-Kodi)
I wanted to resolve this problem by making a extras file and use ffmpeg to map stream audio and video that I want but no success
