I have just been searching for an episode which failed to record (tuner trouble, possibly resolved now) but its not being aired on any channel for the length of the current EPG.
Looking at the advanced recording options, I've worked out how to find all episodes on all channels and set a recording, but only if they are in the current EPG.
Would it be possible to add a "Wish List" feature to create and advanced recording, and each EPG update, NextPVR scrapes it for any hits, and sets up a recording?
For the last 2 months - since updating the backup software killed the HTPC, I have been having problems with the Kodi install.
To save time, I used an Old backup of Windows 8.1 - which I have been using, as it gives better picture quality than 10 and allowed 5.1 DTS over SPDIF.
First with Leia 18.9 things weren't the same as before - poor deinterlacing and terrible picture breakup, if recording more than 1 program at a time. (even on the same mux)
Last weekend the HTPC froze - first in Kodi and then while rebooting (which required buttoning after 5 minutes of stuckness). After the restart all the settings in Kodi had disappeared
Having seen that Matrix RC1 had just been released, I decided to remove Leia and replace with Matrix and set up from scratch again.
Problem 1 - 64 bit Matrix would install and run once. After shutting down Kodi, it would then crash every time on trying to reopen it.
Following a reboot, again it would start only once, then crash every time.
This had happened back when I first installed Leia, when NPVR v5 first came out so have had to use 32 bit version.
Problem 2 - Using 32 bit Matrix, in the EPG, trying to open a program causes Kodi to crash 90% of the time. Luckily going into Live TV it works. Also the epg is very juddery when scrolling and also opening recordings is a 50% chance of crashing Kodi.
Have tried the latest nightly 21/01/21 and also the latest Jenkins build of NPVR Addon all without success.
Also noticed that my windows 10 Matrix 64 bit install is having the same epg crashing problem.
I am going to rebuild Windows 8.1 from scratch with minimum software to run Kodi + NPVR and see if that helps.
First Question Which version of Matrix and the NPVR addon should I try first?
I have been using NextPVR Version 4 for a very long time. Yesterday the ZAP2XML process to update the TV Guide failed to update the guide. I ran the .bat manually so I could see why the tv guide wasn't getting updated.
The end of the log is:
[4] Getting: http://mobilelistings.tvguide.com/Listin...ration/180
[Attempt 3] 0:404 OK
Failed to download within 3 retries.
Server out of data? Temporary server error? Normal exit anyway.
Writing XML file: tvguide.xml
Completed in 16s (Parse: 16s) 0 stations, 0 programs, 0 scheduled.
Is there anyone who knows what I need to do?
I tried uninstalling version 4, then installed version 5 - but version 5 doesn't have analog device so I went back to version 4. I have manually run the Update process and still no TV Guide.
I believe in previous versions of NextPVR we could add a network/networks to a list that would bypass authentication. Basically when I'm home it would be nice to access the web interfaces without authentication. Is there a way to do this on v5, or is this something that could be easily added?
In case it matters I'm running nextpvr on ubuntu server.
Hi All.
I have this odd issue with scheduled recordings. Quite often, but not always, I have a recording set to go overnight and it only partially records the show. Last night a basketball game recorded for just over an hour then stopped. Sometimes the entire thing will record and other times it doesn't. IPTV service I'm using is solid.
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or has any tips.
Thanks!
Hi all,
So I moved towards the end of last year and my kodi box hadn't been on for a while.
When I set it back up, I updated HDHR and the windows machine itself. Since then I've not been able to watch live tv through Kodi. It just crashes. Whether I'm trying to watch IPTV or through HDHR.
If I try via VLC, it works ok and NextPVR records both HDHR and IPTV fine.
I've enclosed debug logs from 2 attemps at starting up Kodi and then watching IPTV and the other one with HDHR.
It is specific to that machine/maybe windows, as I've got a retropie setup, which has kodi installed and the npvr plugin, and I can watch TV fine using that.
Any advice appreciated!
EDIT: I don't seem to be able to upload attachments... dragging and dropping isn't working. Any other suggestions on where I can host the .zip files?
