Example search: american dad
Lots of results returned, in the long list I see: S02E03 Not Particularly desperate Housewives etc. Click on that and I see: Not Particularly Desperate Housewives (S02E03) etc.

However, search, more options, first field: S02E03
nothing returned
Same if searching subtitle or description, all other fields empty.

Might be a nice addition, whether it be by way of another field, of if it could be picked up via the description field.


Version: 7.0.1.241229 
Windows 11

Not really sure what it could be? ...

NextPVR Web App, everything looks great and everything loaded just fine but every time I load my Kodi up (3 times now) it gives a pop up like it's loading the EPG but goes quick and all I'm seeing is "No Info Available" on all channels?


I am downloading Roms, some other files etc. ... nbut I don't think that would be it would it?

I tried Log Viewer for Kodi so I'm hoping I downloaded the log correctly? Attached Logs from NextPVR as well.

A clean install of NextPVR Version 7.0.1.241229 on a new Windows 11 PC is preventing sleep after viewing "Live TV".  If applicable, NextPVR is using the Hauppauge QuadHD Tuner card with most recent drivers and LAV codecs.  Except for the sleep issue, the NextPVR Client is working flawlessly.

Watching recorded TV programs after the fact does not prevent sleep.  Only after watching Live TV is the sleep command or 5 minute sleep timer not being followed.  The issue is similar to a thread started by Escape7 on 2024-11-06 discussing the NextPVRServer.exe preventing sleep but in my case, the issue is with watching Live TV rather than updating the EPG.

For now, the issue with sleep deprivation can be resolved by 1) restarting the PC, 2) using Windows Task Manager, Services to Restart "NextPVRServer.exe", or 3) just watch recorded programming (which is 90% of the time anyway).

Thankyou in advance for your support.

The NextPVR logs which may be applicable are attached.

The following is the output from Windows 11 showing the source of sleep deprivation:

C:\Windows\System32>powercfg -requests

Hi

I just started using NextPVR and really like it. I switched over from WMC recently as my cable company stopped supporting cable-card. I initially tried switching WMC over to dual Hauppauge Colossus cards but couldn't get it to work reliably. 

Everything with NextPVR was a breeze to setup but I am having one strange problem with NextPVR. It sometimes it tunes the wrong channel when blasting the cable boxes. I couldn't figure it out a pattern until I realized its only channels with the number 8 in them. So if I tune 187 I get 17 etc. All other channels with (3 digits and otherwise) tune perfectly as long as the number 8 isn't involved. I have 2 cable boxes attached to two Colossus 1 cards. One card blasts with the Hauppauge built in blaster using HaupBlast.exe. The other uses a USBUIRT  using USBUIRTSend.exe. The issue with number 8 happens with both methods of blasting which is weird. 

Thanks for any help

I have been experimenting with nrsc5 streams on an extras tuner. When I manually start the tuner to an HD radio station it works great. However, I would like to start the nrsc5 stream, then either pipe it to ffmpeg, or be able to use a wav file created by nrsc5 to stream live when I click on the channel. I'm using it to listen to AM broadcasts that are available on HD radio channels because the AM band reception is terrible where I live, especially in a house. I am using Windows 11 with the latest version of NPVR. Here are the three files I use.

Extras.xml contents:
<extras>
    <channel name="KRLD">
      <command>C:\Users\Public\NPVR-Data\Media4Keeps\KRLD.bat</command>
      <args></args> 
    </channel>
  </extras>

KRLD.bat contents:
C:\Program Files\NextPVR\Other\ffmpeg -re -i C:\Users\Public\NPVR-Data\Media4Keeps\KRLD.wav -f mp3 -

NRSC5_KRLD.bat contents: (this is the file I use currently to start the stream in wav format)
C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\nrsc5 -o C:\Users\Public\NPVR-Data\Media4Keeps\KRLD.wav 100.3 1

Without manually starting the stream before clicking on the channel, ffmpeg starts and finds no stream.
Please guide me on how I can make this more automated.

We have been using NextPVR a number of years. Generally it works well, but we occasionally have problems.
There is one particular show for which the two most recent screenings have failed. Other recordings from the same channel are working every day.
The show that has failed twice is 'Death in Paradise'. The error message today was ' [Failed: Recording interrupted] '. Log files attached.
Can you suggest anything please, or are there other details I could provide?

Ngā mihi, thank you.

Seve

After running MythTV for many years, I recently switched to NextPVR, but still had over 50 unhelpfully named ts files in my MythTV recordings folder. It looked like the file names would also cause import challenges. FYI, file name "1411_20190721200000.ts" meant channel 41.1 recorded on 2019-07-21 at 20:00:00 - This would not tell NextPVR anything useful to it about the show.

This worked to import:

• I accessed the MythTV mariadb sql database and exported the "recorded" view to an xml file. I had to relaunch mariadb, but then was able to access the data - in my case on a mac - with an app called sequel ace. There are many sql apps for many platforms.
  
• The recorded-view.xml file contained data for all of the shows in groups separated by a "row" tag. The data included the filename, show name, season, episode number, descriptions, episode names, etc. It was a simple matter to tidy up the file, delete unnecessary tags and rename the tags to match the nomenclature required by NextPVR. A key step was to prefix the MythTV filenames with the rest of the file path that NextPVR would need. All this was done with search and replace, using grep in some cases. For reference, I will include an excerpt, below, from the xml file I used for the successful import.
  
• I left the MythTV files in their original MythTV folder and used the import button in settings:general to locate the xml file and run the import.
  

I'm in the UK and have a DVB-T (Freeview) tuner and a twin DVB-S (Freesat) tuner with common channels between the two merged.

After upgrading to v7 a bunch of channels lost EPG.  I've been messing about with the channel configuration trying to narrow it down and it seems to specifically relate to the Freesat (UK) channels.

Having unmerged all the channels without listings and re-configuring them to use the right EPG source, after doing an EPG update I could see that (for each merged channel) the split DVB-T channels all had EPG but only one of the two DVB-S channels had EPG (even though both the DVB-S tuners work when I select their copy of the channel).

Despite this, I proceeded by merging the channels back together - by first lowering the channel number of the version of the channel with working EPG, when I merge it the EPG is retained.

24 hours later and some channels have lost their EPG again, all ones configured to use the Freesat EPG, presumably during the scheduled EPG update which is in the early hours for me.

I can workaround the issue for channels available on Freeview DVB-T as I can merge them in a way that the DVB-T channel provides the EPG using DVB/ATSC, but there are a number of channels that are only available on Freesat.  Just now I've unmerged all these again and re-ran the EPG update with the DVB-T tuner disabled.  This again restored EPG only to one of the unmerged channel versions per actual channel as you can see in these examples:



The missing EPG is always on the first of the twin tuners, i.e. "TBS 6981 BDA DVBS/S2 A Tuner", whereas "TBS 6981 BDA DVBS/S2 B Tuner" is always the one that sucessfully retrieves the EPG.

I have attached the logs. I'm not going to merge these channels for now and I'll see if the EPG is still intact on one of each channel after the overnight EPG update (does the time of the EPG update affect the available listings, for example when channels go off air in the early hours?)

Anyway, would appreciate if anyone can figure out from the logs what's wrong with the Freesat EPG update process specifically on the tuner "TBS 6981 BDA DVBS/S2 A Tuner".

Also, is there any way to do an EPG update for specific channels on, otherwise its quite a long process to wait for when you are trying to "debug" an issue like this?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Bonjour,Merci
d’avance pour vos bons conseils.
J’utilise nextpvr avec Kodi depuis plusieurs années et ça se passe plutôt bien.
Je viens d’acheter un nouveau PC avec une carte graphique 4K et sous Windows 11 et je n’arrive pas à obtenir le téléviseur. L’accordeur Hauppauge Solo est cependant bien reconnu. J’ai le message « Échec de la diffusion en continu (transcodeur quitté) ».
Cependant, avec le logiciel Hauppauge Win TV 10, cela fonctionne bien.
Est-ce que vous pouvez m’aider?

Hi,

just upgraded to v7.0.1.241229 on my Synology NAS DS720+ with DSM v7.2.2 running inside a docker container and using HDHomeRun EXPAND (4 tuners) HDHR5-4DC Firmware Version 20231214.
Works like a charm! Thanks. Just donated again btw for your excellent software I already have been using for years!

But the question I have is how to change the datetime format. See screenshot.
Instead of 2/10/2025 I want 10/2/2025.

I did set the Timezone:
      {
        "key" : "TZ",
        "value" : "Europe/Amsterdam"
      }
and mount volume (necessary??):
      {
        "host_volume_file" : "/docker/zoneinfo",
        "is_directory" : true,
        "mount_point" : "/usr/share/zoneinfo",
        "type" : "ro"
      }

I attached the .json Docker Container Manager settings. For people who actually want to use it be sure to update:
-"host_volume_file" host folders to your situation.
-TZ key timezone information
-HOST_IP key which points to your device running nextpvr

After that just goto DSM > Container Manager > Action > Import > choose .json settings file
