I installed NextPVR within the last month or so. I was seeing choppy video playback, so I changed from Microsoft to LAV decoders. Now the video is smooth, but the fast forward, back, skip, etc controls don't work.
Should I just keep cycling thru decoders until I find one that works on my system, or is there a setting somewhere I'm missing, or...?
I am new to using nextpvr and IPTV in general. I seem to be getting sporatic 401 errors during recordings. There is a example snippet from a log for a recording set to go from 18:58 till 20:05 at the end of this post. The nextpvr web interface will say recording is still occuring, but by looking at the .ts file, it clearly stopped after this event in the log. This does not happen all the time, but seems to occur to 50% of my recordings. Sometimes it is 5mins in, sometimes 45 mins into a show.
I have read other posts in this forum that says this is an authentication error from the provider. I have contacted my provider and they basically said too bad/we dont care, but at least they confirmed it is not due to incorrect credentials.
I suppose the purpose of this post is just to confirm that my provider is the issue (and a bad provider at that). Or hope there is some workaround to get recordings to continue after these types of errors.

Hi. on a v5 multiple tuner unit had to update the channels. I did so by rescanning tuner 1. How do I export the channels from tuner 1 and import them into the other tuners without rescanning all the other tuners?
I have searched all over for the export/import channels buttons but it seems to evade me on this version. Back when I did the very first scan it asked me if I wanted to copy the stuff from the 1st tuner to the others but I dont see that coming up now that I am rescanning.
I am having trouble making the new pluto tv update work.
The update does not run at 8am as it is supposed to.
There is no update.lock file in the plutotv directory (/opt/var/nextpvr/scripts/plutotv)
The pluto-xmltv.xml file is time stamped from the morning update at 02:45.
Running PostLoadEPD.sh from the terminal window results in an update.lock file being added and three hours later having the EPG refreshed with the pluto-xmltv.xml file appropriately time stamped. But there is no corresponding update.lock file generated.
Using NextPVR to update the EPG will report that the PostLoadEPG.sh file is running, but it does not generate the update.lock file and there is no update after the 3 hours.
Logs attached. I think the terminal update (after 3 hours) took place at 1:17 pm.
My PostStartup.bat file contains the command 'dotnet "C:\Program Files\NextPVR\nscripthelper.dll" -updateepg'. This has been working fine on several machines.
I have built a new PC with Win 10 x64 20H2 and NextPvr from the website. nscripthelper fails with the message 'Could not resolve CoreCLR path. For more details, enable tracing by setting COREHOST_TRACE environment variable to 1'
I have run with the COREHOST_TRACE set to 1, but as I am not a dotnet developer, it does not help much!
I get the same results in the nrecord.log and from the command prompt (regular and admin) The output is in the attached log - any assistance appreciated!
We used to be able to tune a channel from VLC using http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8866/live?channel=xxxx. Admittedly I haven't tried it since I can't remember when but has something changed? I'm not able to connect with that url in VLC. I'm just trying to do some troubleshooting.
Just installed NextPVR (tried on both Debian 10 and Ubuntu 20) using USB DVB-T tuner. Verion Version: 5.1.1.210329 using the install method described in this forum.
When I do a channel scan for my region I get all the channel results I'm expecting to see in the web GUI but not all of them are in the adapter0-DVB-T-channels.conf file. If I do another scan I might catch some of the missing configs for channels but then others are missing.
I can't figure out how to get the adapter0-DVB-T-channels.conf file to be updated with new channels found rather than replace the entire file with the latest scan each time.
I also installed the firmware for my card (dvbsky s960) via
Code:
cd ~
wget http://www.dvbsky.net/download/linux/dvbsky-firmware.tar.gz
tar xfvz dvbsky-firmware.tar.gz
cd dvbsky-firmware
sudo ./copy-firmware.sh
which results in

The Tuner card is found in the nextpvr setting page!
--> I did a first scan on ASTRA 19.2E and added some of the channels found to my channel list. The tuning and the search seems to work (at least some channels are found!
However, as soon as I try to switch to one of the channels (from a frontend pc with the browser or kodi) i get an error msg:
Here is the output of service nextpvr-server status
Code:

I actually dont know where the frequency 8006.25 MHz is comming from since I tried to switch to

I im serioulsy wondering how to fix this (since i tried out various stuff now for like 4 hours....). However I am very new to linux so might just be something obvious....
