  Season/Episode Number Not Getting Applied
Posted by: Croq - 2021-02-05, 03:50 PM - Forum: NextPVR Support - Replies (16)

I set up the show "Today With Hoda & Jenna" to record, and the filename it created had some date information instead of the season/episode number (the guide listing does have the season/episode info).

The filenames created were:

RootDir\Today With Hoda & Jenna\Today With Hoda & Jenna_20210205_00060100.ts
RootDir\Today With Hoda & Jenna\Today With Hoda & Jenna_20210205_00060100.xml

Should have been:

RootDir\Today With Hoda & Jenna\Season 2021\Today.With.Hoda.&.Jenna.S2021E24.ts
RootDir\Today With Hoda & Jenna\Season 2021\Today.With.Hoda.&.Jenna.S2021E24.xml

  Failed to start requested stream
Posted by: Justus - 2021-02-04, 10:22 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (2)

Attached is the zipped log file. I have set up a Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD DVBC tuner with 46 channels.

Only the first program works, all others do not. I started a new attempt to watch the streams at 23:16. A few hours ago it worked I think. And I think after a PC restart it would work again, but I already had this problem a few days ago, that after some time the stream no longer works.

  Trying to migrate NextPVR on Windows from V4 to V5
Posted by: virtualpaul - 2021-02-04, 10:12 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (10)

Hi,

I followed the wiki steps to Migrate on Windows
    You can migrate NextPVR on Windows from V4 to V5 ...

  • Install NextPVR V5 on the same machine as NextPVR V4
  • Copy config.xml and npvr.db3 from the data folder of V4 to the data folder of V5.
  • Change the port used by V5 to avoid a conflict with V4 ... Advanced Setup
  • Restart the NextPVR Server service ... by re-booting the computer.
I tried several times installing and re-booting but I am still not successful.

I copied the config.xml and npvr.db3.

I have changed the port 8866 to another one (8867) as suggested in the 'Advanced Setup'.

I have changed the NPVR service starting to 'manual' in the windows services, since it looked like the V4 which was still running. I want to reduce potential problems.

The tray seems to be installed, it is a squarish 'N' icon instead of a circle 'N' in V4.

1- When I try to open the 'Web App', I get an error on the page:
localhost:8867/index.html
I also tried localhost:8866/index.html but nothing to see there either.

2- When I try to open the 'Desktop App', it says unable to connect to server.   A few times it said something like 'too many ...' but I was not fast enough to read and take note of the message since it disappears fast.

3- When I try to open the 'Show Status', it just show a blank page.

  How to access NextPVR remotely without Kodi?
Posted by: devilkepo74 - 2021-02-04, 08:09 PM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (2)

Hi, I setup NextPVR as my backend and it works perfecty in the server laptop, and via Kodi+NextPVR addon in the clients. Using it primarily to view OTA live feeds.
The problem with this setup is, I need to have Kodi in all the client devices to access the live tv. That includes my ios devices, and unless I jailbreak those, I cant have Kodi installed there.
Then I heard that NextPVR can stream without Kodi, via a browser or via VLC. I am pretty much a newbie with all this, can someone give some guidance as to how to access nextpvr content outside Kodi using a browser or vlc? I know about http://yourmachinesip:8866, but all it brings up is the TV Guide, and the live stream option doesnt work there in my ipad. What should be done to access the content from nextpvr using clients within the network and in remote locations outside the network?
Thanks all.

Hi,
Im looking for possibilities to configure kodi through the .xml files under userdata folder.
is there any easy way to access them on the chromecast? preferebly over network shares.
I suppose I could type in manually the smb share destinations, but i need to also configure the database path for the library to keep it in sync with the rest of my kodi players.
any pointers?

  Appletv app and Comskip
Posted by: musicgasm - 2021-02-04, 12:35 PM - Forum: NextPVR iOS and AppleTV Clients - Replies (7)

Hello!,
I recently set up NextPVR and am having some issues with the appletv app.  Sorry if these questions are stupid.  I have set up comskip to run while recording.  The comskip markers are present in the desktop app, but not the web app or appletv app.  Is there a setting I can change to tweak this?

  ATSC3.0/AC-4 Video Player
Posted by: ferrels - 2021-02-03, 05:44 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (4)

I have an ATSC3.0 HDHomeRun tuner from SiliconDust and absolutely love it.  It works great with NextPVR. The only problem is with ATSC3.0/AC-4 streams that I record for later viewing.  Without an AC-4 codec for Windows you get no audio playback under NextPVR unless you transcode the recordings with a branch of ffmpeg that supports AC-4 audio.  I got tired of transcoding my recorded programs using ffmpeg and running scripts to automate the process. It just wasn't clean enough for me, so I decided to build an ATSC3.0/AC-4 capable video player based on the code found here: https://github.com/itisyang/playerdemo

It only has 3 dependencies, SDL2, QT, and ffmpeg so I set about updating it to support richardpl's ffmpeg/AC-4 branch (https://github.com/richardpl/FFmpeg/tree/ac4). I normally avoid github projects that depend on QT for several reasons but this project is very well-written and modular so it was very easy to compile it against the ffmpeg/AC-4 branch. The majority of my time was spent Anglicizing all the dialogs and menus because the author is Chinese and had hardcoded most of the menus and dialogs. I also added the ability to read mpeg TS files directly as that was missing. I've tested it on MKV files and TS files containing AC-4 audio streams and it works great so I suspect it will read any format supported by ffmpeg.

My build environment is Visual Studio 2015 and QT5.6 and the binary is 64-bit. My apologies to those who want 32-bit builds but I have no desire to re-tool my developer system which is entirely 64-bit.
I'm an applications developer, not a video (encode/decode) - (mux/demux) developer, so I will only be able to help you squash bugs in the UI and possibly add more file types.

You can download the Player here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uuf16gxqs2s4bq...4.zip?dl=1

Just unzip the files to the folder of your choice and run the playerdemo.exe file.  It has all the playback controls that one would expect from a modern video player.

If you want to test it, here's a 40MB TS file with HEVC video encoding and AC-4 audio: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vzv66pz54phfsk....1.ts?dl=1

Anyway, I hope somebody will get some use out of this player. It was actually a pleasure to update and build, unlike VLC which is a total dumpster fire.

The keyboard shortcuts can be found under the About dialog, just right-click on the screen to bring up the context menu.

The player might be useful to users who don't want to fool around with ffmpeg to transcode the ATSC3.0/AC-4 streams that they've recorded as it allows for direct playback of ATSC3.0/AC-4 files.

  Unhandled exception when tuning live channel
Posted by: domat00 - 2021-02-03, 05:36 PM - Forum: Windows - Replies (8)

I hope you'll forgive me if I missed this issue addressed elsewhere, my searching so far hasn't been fruitful.

I recently completely reinstalled Windows 10, and subsequently NextPVR.  I followed the setup instructions, successfully imported the recurring recordings from the previous instantiation of NPVR v4, and live TV worked as expected.  I initially had trouble getting ready recordings imported, but once I copied the relevent .db3 file into the data folder they showed up as expected.

The issue I'm currently running in to then reared its ugly head.  When I try to watch live TV from the TV Guide screen in the client, I get this error:


Code:

  Alternate ports on unRAID Docker than 80:443?
Posted by: ainuke - 2021-02-03, 04:15 PM - Forum: Docker amd64 - Replies (2)

Hi,

Using NextPVR Version: 5.1.0.201216  on unRAID Docker found in the CA list.
I've been uncomfortable with running this Docker using host interface and would rather run as a bridge. I'm unable, however, to get NPVR to accept the stream from HDHomerun tuner using bridge interface.
It seems to stem from port 80, as the docker fails to install if 80 is mapped in/out of the container; the port is in use elsewhere. If I leave that out of the mapping, the container installs fine, and I'm able to get an updated tv schedule and communicate through p:8866 (mapped). Any attempt to view live tv or record a show results of "Streaming Failed - transcoder exited" or empty file in target recording directory. The target file i.e. Matlock.S01E01.Pilot.tx is created, but remains at 0kb. Behavior when container is set to use host interface shows this file growing as expected during recording.

So my question is: is there an alternate port I can use instead of p:80 (and p:443, for that matter; it's not a conflict now, but I imagine it will be at some point) in the application, or is that a necessity of comms with HDHomerun?

From the few unRAID users I've seen here in the forum, they appear to be running in bridge without mapping ports 80, 443. Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks in advance. I've been using NextPVR on my WHS2011 server for ages now, and have only recently migrated to unRAID. Some of the fundamentals are lacking in my understanding, I'm sure...

  NextPVR hangs when tuning to offline channel?
Posted by: CormacBaptiste - 2021-02-03, 12:36 PM - Forum: Legacy (v4.x and earlier) - Replies (2)

Some ATSC channels don't broadcast 24/7.

When watching live TV, if I accidentally tune to one of them, the NextPVR 4 client hangs. It's inconvenient when using an IR remote, as it no longer answers to any remote command, not even to try to tune to another channel. The up/down arrows that I have mapped to buttons on my remote no longer have any effect.



I have to use my wireless keyboard/mouse. The following steps do technically work.
1. right click in black screen area
2. wait about 5 seconds for pop-up menu
3. double click another channel
4. wait about 5 seconds again
5. new channel finally comes up

I have attached a log of a session when I just tried to tune to KTVUDT2 which was offline and this hang happened. I just closed the app afterwards using the wireless keyboard/mouse.

In that case, NextPVR comes back to the same offline channel the next time one tries to watch live TV, necessitating the above steps to be employed. I think if the channel was not tuned correctly, NextPVR shouldn't save it and come back to the same channel the next time around.
