Hey there guys, I'm having a problem and would just like to get some clarity please.

In my area, there are only 4x OTA channels available. I own 2x HDhomerun Extend, and configured NPVR so every tuner sports one channel each using their IPs and tuner number, which worked perfectly through multiple clients concurrently watching the same channel over the same dedicated tuner. The PC running NPVR was a Razer Blade Stealth 13" (i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz with Intel® UHD Graphics 620 /16GB RAM).

Now I had to move my NPVR server over to a Lenovo M81 (i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz/RAM 8.00 GB/NVIDIA GeForce 605 (969 MB)) and I can't seem to be able to watch the same channel over two clients as I get the error "The tuner is no longer available" - in short, I'm no longer able to use tuner sharing/concurrent tuner access across multiple clients.

Anybody could pinpoint why is that, and say if I had a Nvidia GeForce T600 4GB, will I gain access to tuner sharing back?

I just added a new playlist for my local FTA channels, i can't get the EPG to update, just making sure I'm doing it properly.

I added this EPG XML file to the guide sources section, should this work?

Thanks for any help.

Looking for a WMC remote to complete our new NextPVR setup, I purchased this item.

However, I am far from expert in these matters: please forgive my ignorance. Of the five items in the photograph, I know what four of them are and what they do, but... what's the small dongle seen to the left of the remote, above the batteries? It has a 3.5mm connector, apparently intended to plug into the back of the receiver on the right. What is this dongle for?

Thank you.

Hello!

I just installed NextPVR on my Proxmox server as an LXC container. My Kathrein EXIP 418 SatIP server was recognized immediately, and the channel scan was also successful. As a test, I opened a channel from the guide in VLC (as an HTTP stream), and playback worked perfectly as well.

However, I'm having an issue with updating the EPG. In the guide, I only see "(no listings)", and when I manually try to update the EPG via Settings -> About -> Update EPG, I only get the message:
"EPG Update complete. [0 inserted, 0 updated, 0 skipped]".
I've attached screenshots and log files for reference.

I'm really impressed with how easy everything is to set up and how quickly the streams start. I was hoping to replace my current setup and switch to using the Jellyfin plugin with NextPVR – so my highest compliments for this project! I really hope there's a solution for my issue, and I would be grateful for any help!

Best regards

If you use the pre-pad and post-pad options, then the times in the scheduler list aren't entirely accurate. The list shows the start and end time of the program, but the recording will actually run a bit longer due to the padding. It would be useful to have an option to show the amount of padding on the list, so you don't have to click on each entry if you want to see if it's got padding options. I went ahead and added this to my own installation, by modifying recordings-grid.js:

Hello,
For the past few days, my NextPVR server has been acting up.
I use an LXC container on a Proxmox host.
My media data is stored on a NAS in my private network.
I am now experiencing the following error/problem:
The recording works, but when I try to play the movie in the browser, it fails to start.
If I play the same movie on my Jellyfin server (on the same network and connected to the same NAS), it works.
I think the problem might be with the NextPVR server, but I can't find the root cause.
Please help me!
Thanks,
Kfmf

I’m a new user of NextPvr V7.  After working on some instability issues for few days (like frequent crashes), it seems to be working after updating it with the NextPVRUI.dll.  Now I need help setting up the skipforward 60 seconds. By default, it seems to only forward 15 seconds.  Most commercial breaks in the USA are 4 minutes. Obviously it would take 4 remote control clicks vs 16 clicks to skip a commercial break.  I modified the config.xml skipforward to 60 but no help. All renderers and decodes are set to default.  Thanks for your help

Hello NextPVR users & "old heads!"

After 25 years with a satellite provider "I have seen the light." I am also a new SD account holder and a new user of NextPVR Ver. 7. I have a simple private LAN setup whereas I use a NON-INTERNET connected router to access NextPVR & Kodi via my laptop running Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.1 with a slim down (all apps disabled or unstalled....except for Kore remote app for Kodi Nexus) android Motorola Pla. I am using Hauppauge Dual USB tuner connected to the laptop. This ensures a closed system. This setup works very well. I use my Samsung S25 Ultra cellphone to temporarily activate its hotspot & then using the FireFox browser on laptop to update my SD EPG. After SD EPG is downloaded and channels are populated I deactivate the hotspot & then reconnect laptop's wireless network back to the router. This closed process works well. However, when I "switch" back & forth between the two accesses NextPVR does not retain my SD EPG source link. I can establish it and reassign it to all my local channels while connected to my hotspot...then I turn off hotspot and return my laptop back to the my close LAN....all works until I once again open the browser to access NextPVR via my hotspot thu my laptop...my SD EPG source is no longer listed on the EPG sources page. My SD login info is still shown on the Guide page. I even have re-entered my SD login credentials & selected the button to reload/refresh my SD source. No action occurs. I have closed FIreFox and re-open & even refreshed the browser. I have also tried another browser...same outcome. I tried several uninstalls/re-installs and always made sure I selected "remember me" at NextPVR login. I have also read/reviewed a great source (user manual )for NextPVR (Page Index - sub3/NextPVR GitHub Wiki).  It seems like NextPVR is not retaining OR is there something with SD access that is forcing NextPVR to not retain my selected SD EPG source when switching from my hotspot connection to my closed LAN?

My goal is to have my SD EPG source retained in NextPVR and also assigned to each of my local channels not matter if I switch between my closed LAN or using my cellphone hotspot to update SD EPG or not. Unfortunately, I have to re-assign the SD EPG source to each channel every time I switch accesses.

Any insight/information/workaround/NextPVR configuration file adjustments/ or other would be greatly appreciated!

I was recently forced to upgrade NextPVR from 6.1.3.230521 to 7.0.2.250621
in order to resolve issues with the Schedules Direct JSON support.
I also upgraded from knewc 2.9.4 to 2.10.1.

Ever since, I appear to have 2 main problems:

1. If I play a file under the Videos menu, it starts ok.  If I interrupt
the video (Last.Week.Tonight) and then attempt to restart it, the restart always hangs.
I have to stop the video hang, play it from the beginning and skip forward
to my desired location which is a big pain.

2. One of my favourite features, the FullscreenRandomPhoto no longer works - <ActiveScreenSaver>FullscreenRandomPhoto</ActiveScreenSaver>.
When the screen saver is initiated, the Kodi error message "No Favourites Found"
appears instead as shown in the attached photo.  knewc stops.
If I press ESC to clear the error message and restart knewc
then the screen saver starts up, but eventually fails again.

Any ideas?  Attached are the NextPVR and Kodi logs.
