Hi, I need sme help with networking under Windows server 2019

My home LAN has PFsense as a router and gateway which connects to my switch at 192.168.1.x
The local Windows server and HDhomerun tuner connect to the same switch and all was working well for the past months
But if the switch is quite busy (copy large files) the TV stream is sometimes interrupted. 
The Windows server is doing recordings and I want them flawless

Now I added a second LAN card to the network server just for the HDhomerun tuner
I bridged both LAN cards in Windows with the 192.168.1.x scope
It worked but the stream from HDhomerun through the Windows server to Kodi was terrible slow

So how do I do this properly if it is possible at all ?
Give the second LAN card a different scope like 10.0.0.x 
The HDhomerun can't have a fixed IP so unfortunately I'll need DHCP for the 10.0.0.x scope
Reconfigure nextpvr to find the device. Will this work ?

Hi everyone,

First of all I want to say that NextPVR is an amazing tool. This is by far the best tool i found to record my IPTV stream.

I went through the forum but could not find the answers to my questions so I am making my own thread.

First the question and after that the issues.


Questions:

1 - Can I record multiple channel from the same IPTV provider? (One m3U file)

2 - If yes can I record multiple show at the same time but on different channels? (One TV show on channel A from 8 to 10 and another one from 7:30 to 11 on another channel)

3 - Is there a limit on how many channels recording at the same time I can do? (I need to record 6 channels and between 3 to 4 TV shows at the same time on different channels)

4 - Is it possible to have each TV shows recorded to their own folder?


Issues:

Sometimes I have my recording going back 20 to 30 seconds (video and audio) and then keep going like normal. In the end i am not missing anything but I have a kin of 30 seconds loop.
I noticed that on different channels and I have no idea  if this is due to:
     - My IPTV provider
     - NextPVR
     - The recording starting at the same times
     - Multiple recordings


You will find attached my logs.

If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be appreicated !!!

Thank you!

NPVR Server  running on Windows 10
There appears to be an issue with the Directory dropdown on the recording edit dialog on the Schedule web page.

I have defined one additional directory called TV. If I edit a recording to set the directory to TV any subsequent edits show TV even though the directory is the default (empty string) in the DB.

If the db entry is '[Default]' then this is displayed correctly so it seems that the default entry for the filename field in SCHEDULED_RECORDING table (empty string) does not set the Directory dropdown in the dialog, so it shows the last used value. The workaround is to reload the schedule page.

Thanks!

I setup NextPVR 5 on friday night. I made sure everything worked properly including comskip.
The only thing I didn't test was the automatic wakeup. And of course, that didn't work . None of my scheduled recordings went through.
I checked the Windows event viewer, and the machine never woke up on 1/10, the day the recording was supposed to take place.

I never had this problem with NextPVR 4 on the same system previously. What could be causing this ? And how do I fix it ?

Unfortunately the machine never woke up on 1/10 at all and all recordings were missed.

I have tried scheduling more recordings and putting the machine to sleep, and it still never wakes up for any of them.

Today I noticed that when watching an in-progress recording (via Kodi, if that's relevant) it doesn't remember my resume position if I'm "too close" to live. Is this the expected behavior?

My situation was that I was watching an NFL game that was being recorded, and I was basically caught up to live. I stopped playback to run some errands. When I tried to resume later, there was no resume option - it just started over from the beginning. I don't have any logs from this session, but can attempt to reproduce later if that's something you'd like to see.

thx

I have quad tuner HDHomeRun.
If no tuners are in use and in the guide I select four current running shows to record this works great. The fifth show will give me an error "no tuner available".
BUT if 1 tuner is in use by another program (I my case TV Mosaic) and I only have three available for NextPVR and I then select three current shows to record it works.... BUT the fourth show won't give me an error.
If I then cancel 1 recording (from the three) and go back to the fourth show that didn't succeed to be recorded NextPVR thinks it is recording! I have to do cancel and go back to it again and press record.

Well, its done.  I have officially dropped my cable subscription and shutdown NPVR.  Not that I wanted to, but Cox forced me into it.  I'm not sure what I'll turn to just yet, I don't really like any of my options, but I just know that how I had been doing things is no longer an option.

Thank you Sub for NextPVR.  I really liked using it.  Great product.  Best of luck to you and all the others that make this product what it is.

Whenever I attempt to watch live TV or a recorded program via Kodi, it crashes. Typically I'll see the first few frames of video before it freezes and then kodi quits entirely. Logs are attached.

My setup has Kodi and NextPVR running on the same Windows PC. I'm going to try running from my OSX laptop next.

I have this (Advanced) recurring schedule like: title like '%Christmas%' and genres like '%Movie / Drama%' and channel_oid in ( select oid from channel where name not like '% HD' )

I want to temporaly disable this (till next Christmas season ). The only option I now have is to delete it. But certainly for this advanced type like schedules I just want to disable it.

In the UK several Channels split Movies in to two parts with a 15 minute program in between (I think so the ice-cream lady can sell her wares)

In version 4 NPVR (without Kodi) if I wanted to keep the movie for a while, I just used to add the second part to the first with VideoRedo, delete the second part, and all was fine.

If I do the same in Kodi with v5 NPVR addon, the timeline stays the same length as the original first part, meaning that you can not skip once you pass the end of the timeline - the movie will play to the end no problem, but with no pausing or skipping.

Is the length stored in the NPVR db, or in Kodi somewhere, and which value requires modifying? I don't mind editing the db on the odd occasion when I want to keep a movie.
