NPVR v3 -V4 with Windows XP 5 DTV tuners
1 tuner per OTA network ( if there was any reception problems could isolate to which tuner )
EPG would update from all tuners and on live tv so late EPG changes would appear in Guide
When PC died, upgraded to Windows 10 & NPVR v5.
Setup Tuners ( 1 Tuner per Network)
PROBLEM EPG is available from 1 tuner only, so selected
Tuner1 - 7 Network
Tuner2 - 9 Network
Tuner3 - 10 Network
Tuner4 - SBS Network
Tuner5 - ALL Networks (EPG update)
This was OK for 2 days until somehow EPG update used Tuner1 and only had those channels in the Guide.
Had to Rescan Tuner 5 to find new channels the update EPG
Reboot PC for changes to take effect
Question Is it possible for EPG update to scan all tuners, or use a file containing details of which tuners and frequencies to use ?
I have forgotten my password for NextPvr and everywhere I look it says to edit the config.xml file. But I can't find it anywhere on my Mac. In the NPVR folder there is a config file but it specifically says do not edit. How can I get my password back to "password" on a mac?
When using the pvr.nextpvr add-on in Kodi, I'm seeing the timeshift seek bar break (disappear) in Kodi Leia and Matrix RC1 on two different Android 32-bit devices, but not on Windows 10 64-bit. The two Android devices I'm testing are a phone running LineageOS 17.1, and a Fire TV Stick 4K. It happens after an *exact* amount of buffer time has elapsed (35 minutes and 47 seconds), reproducible every time, even though my buffer minutes on the NextPVR server is set for much more time than this (180 minutes). I've reproduced it using TV channels with HD and SD resolutions, so it doesn't seem specific to the buffer file size, just the length. I'm testing it without having guide data -- I don't know if having guide data changes things, but it's also easier to witness the specific timing of the 35:47 mark being reached if no guide data is present to replace the timeshift buffer length read-out (the denominator).
To be sure, my server's Live TV buffer directory has plenty of storage space, and I checked the system memory usage in Kodi System info and didn't notice any memory leak or anything. Also, neither of the tested Android devices' storage is full. Anyway, it would seem improbable that two different client devices' storage circumstances would result in a bug that occurs at exactly the same amount of elapsed buffer time.
In this log, I started watching WKRN at 23:02:04.629, paused playback, and waited. Immediately on reaching 35 minutes and 47 seconds of timeshift buffer, the seek bar disappears, leaving what looks sort of like the realtime controls, but with pause functionality still working, but no seeking ability. In other words, the TV stream at this point can continue to be played and can be paused, with the buffer stream continuing to be captured on the server, but it becomes no longer possible to skip forward or backwards.
Doing math on the log times, I just don't see an obvious error entry, as I would expect it to occur in the log immediately following 23:37:50, but nothing eventful seems to occur there. I can work on producing another log in verbose mode if necessary, but hopefully someone can reproduce this issue on another system and it isn't some weird quirk pertaining to just my server and two Android devices.
i'm new on this forum but not new with nextPVR. Everything is going well except that i will like to restrict Nextpvr on the space it coould use to record since the same drive is use for something else. And i would like that NextPVR delete the old recording when space run out. Like first in, first out.
I installed the windows system, and it then opens a client in web browser.
It scanned for channels, found 74 channels.
They are all listed in the Channels screen (with names!), and clicking one it goes to the play/display window, but always says: "Starting Device - please wait".
The device is AverTv H837, and clearly it did recognize it and use it to get all the channels and names.
Has anyone managed to set up the app to be accessed externally when using a reverse proxy? I've got it working when on the same network but not sure what to use for remote access.
My address is https://pvr.xxxx.com but not sure whether to use https:// in the address etc.
Hey all, I hope this post is useful to more than just me. I know I've received buckets of help from lurking these forums. Now it's my turn I suppose.
I use Cable Cards via Cox. v5 on one machine, v4 on another. I have NextPVR, Kodi, and HDHR app. I've only really tested on the v5 machine, but have observed this occurring on v4 machine with same channels. This happened once before to channel 1007 (ABC-KETV), but somehow that got fixed and is now playing just fine in NPVR.
Right now, when trying to play live tv (or a recording from one of these channels) using NextPVR, I get only blank screen and tuner is activated. I don't get an error message, I'm able to hit stop to return to guide, and I can select a different channel and it will play just fine. Also, with a channel that doesn't work in NPVR, it does work in HDHR or Kodi using same tuners. Recordings also play just fine using Kodi.
I've tried changing decoders, settings of decoders, looking through the logs for anything useful / obvious. I just can't tell why it's behaving this way.
I'm able to watch these channels via the Web app (browser) that otherwise turn blank screen on desktop app.
Channels that don't work; 1010 (Fox-KPTM), 1042 (CNBC), 1041 (E!),
Channels that do work; 1008 (NBC-WOWT), 1009 (ABC-KETV), many others.
I almost want to say this happened when NPVR glitched when starting a channel and crashed. I haven't tried uninstalling / reinstalling since lots of other channels work, along with other applications.
I much prefer NPVR, but will use Kodi in the meantime. I hope you can find something to fix in the logs i've attached.
I'm new to NextPVR, just migrating from TVHeadend which I have used for years.
I have 2 x DVB-S2 tuners
Running on Server 2019
Based in the UK
Using latest version of NextPVR 5
When I scan for channels they are all in a random order and beginning at number 1, not 101, as they should (and do on TVHeadend). Does NextPVR, ignore the broadcast channel numbers?
Also TVHeadend extracted the guide with over a weeks programs from the DVB stream for over 90% of the channels, but NextPVR only seems to get the now and next for 50% of the channels and nothing for the rest.
Is this functionality missing from NextPVR, or am I missing something?
There is an OTA TV channel that I watch that sometimes displays a station ID logo during the movie. The movie audio keeps playing in the background but channel logo is displayed for video for a few seconds. When I watch the recording when it gets to the place where the channel logo appears it causes Kodi to loose it's place or something and the timeline changes. Kodi stops the audio and the video freezes but the timeline keeps going. Other times when this station logo appears Kodi jumps back to the beginning of the recording or it exits or the player closes.
My Windows client with an older version of NextPVR addon (8.0.2) seems to play through this. Also the web client doesn't seem to have and issue with this either.
My server is Linux Mint (Ubuntu), Kodi is the nightly build with kodi-pvr-nextpvr 8.2.0
Here are some logs. I jumped ahead to a couple minutes before this happens (around 30 Min) in the timeline.

I now run two Kodi 18 Leia forks on my Android TV box, namely Kodi itself and Wonderbox TV. Does anyone know of any other forks hat I can run simultaneously on the same box? I now use SPMC (Kodi 17 fork) but I wish to replace it with something newer.
