I've had a drive failure where I keep recordings. I'm going to replace it and recreate the same recording paths. (Replacement will be fault tolerant!)
What is the best way to prune these now orphaned recording entries from the DB? If I delete them from the NPVR web-UI, will they delete out of the DB even if the physical file(s) can no longer be located? Or is there another, better way?
Hi to all
A few months ago, I purchased an August T210 tuner. Perfect installation, channel scanning ok but a month later the problems started. When I restarted the PC, nextPVR did not recognize the tuner. First I uninstalled next PVR, deleted the registry key and carried out new clean installation. This way the tuner was recognized, but when I went to tune channels, I couldn't find any channels. I thought - The tuner doesn't work. So I bought Hauppauge WinTV-HD only once the same problem was installed... no channels. Installed its WinTV 10 sw tuned, found channels and everything works. I would like to solve this problem to continue using nextPVR with Kodi. Can you help me?
As of this morning, I am using the `docker image: nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64table` - prior to this I have had NextPVR working well for years with Windows 10.
(This is Docker in an LXC on Proxmox, hardware is a Hauppage WinTV 2200 PCI card).
It's mostly working well, I can stream TV etc...but I just cannot get it to tune ABC here in Melbourne (I'm located reasonably centrally). Previously I've had no issues tuning ABC under Windows (although I do recall, very long ago, I perhaps had to modify some config somewhere but not sure if that was ABC related or something else...)
In any case, I have tried all the available options vaguely related to Melbourne (and my state, Victoria) options in the list - none result in ABC becoming available. The main Melbourne available options are all for towers quite some distance from central Melbourne, and there is a more local option:
vs what seems to be in the current Melbourne related entries:
ABC
ABC12
226.500 Mhz
(I am fairly confident I was using 226.500 in the past though, as it happens). Perhaps something is going on with signal strength - it is possible to extend the searching time and/or lower the threshold to see what happens? I've ne ver had any actual playback issues once things were tuned.
Is there some way to explicitly try particular frequencies, rather than use these lists (that are seemingly rather incomplete)? Basically - what can I do to get this solved?
(I see recommendations for tscapture etc for daignosis - is there a Linux equivalent?)

Is there an easier way of trimming an IPTV list? I think this last time I chose three categories but I still end up with hundreds of channels when I really need only a few. I bring up the list where you can uncheck the boxes but there's no save function that I can see so the channels remain active? Is there an easy way to pick 5 or 6 channels?
I have had issues for years with LAV filters decoders losing sync between the audio and video. I have recently been experimenting with Kodi as a front end and the Inputstream FFmpeg Direct codec that it uses seems far superior for .ts playback. Is there a way to use that decoder in NextPVR front end? My wife has trouble reading the text in Kodi’s gui and prefers the text size in NextPVR.
I'm using NextPVR Version: 7.0.3.250920 on Xubuntu 24.04.3 LTS. I have it working, more or less, on two HDHomeRun devices.
When I fill out the Schedules Direct Username and Password, NextPVR takes it and updates the guide successfully. However, if I go back to the settings page later (http://192.168.0.8:8866/settings.html#), Username shows "SD Username" instead of the username I provided. Is this normal?
NextPVR frequently fails to update the guide when doing it itself. We usually notice because the guide is mostly empty days later. I re-enter my Schedules Direct username and password, and it downloads the guide and seems fine for awhile.
I can login to Schedules Direct with the same username and password. My Schedules Direct account has not expired.
I didn't see any error messages in the logs I submitted. They get overwritten so quickly that errors disappear. In the past I have seen errors about Schedules Direct retrieval, like so:

I am on Version: 7.0.3.250920 and already uninstalled KB5066835. While importing new playlist i am getting 401 error. It fails either ways m3u or xc. Playlist is fine when tested on other players. Also I am able to record existing channels. Just can't add new due to 401 error.
I am new to NextPVR and trying to figure out how to show live TV on my TV. I used to use Windows Media Player, but I have a reformatted laptop that now has Windows 10 on it.
Can you tell me how to put it on my network and the TV to see the channels?
Is anyone using the EASY PLAYER SWITCH plugin? It lets you switch to a different playercorefactory.xml upon demand; or completely switch to VLC as your Kodi player.
Does anyone have an edited XML with MX PLAYER PRO as the default player?
table` - prior to this I have had NextPVR working well for years with Windows 10.
