Hi,

All of a sudden I'm finding that one of my channels (Channel 4 in the UK) has no guide data at all on any of my Kodi clients using the NextPVR addon. When I log onto the server I can see there is EPG data for that channel and as far as I can see the settings are as per all the other channels (e.g. EPG Source = DVB/ATSC EPG).

The Server is on Windows 10, the clients are in Kodi using the NextPVR addon. I can of course post logs but unclear which ones (server and/or client) but also I recall reading somewhere that this is a known issue but I can no longer find that post and can't remember if that was a really old post or something current.

Thanks for a brilliant setup otherwise!

I have been primarily using 2 HDHRs with Xfinity cable cards for all of my recordings. But I also have a HDHR connected to an OTA antenna which picks up all of the local channels. I had initially kept these channels "separated" with the OTA channels having major.minor channel numbers and the cable channels using the cable company's channel numbers. I've also got lots of recurring recordings of type "Record Season (NEW episodes on this channel)" for the cable channels (800 range).

In preparation for cancelling Xfinity later this month, this afternoon I merged the corresponding cable channel with the the OTA channel for all of those local channels. I thought that by doing this, all of the recurring recordings would still work. However, I did notice that when the channels were merged, the channel kept the OTA major.minor channel number and the OTA name (which sometimes matches, but usually is slightly different) rather than keeping the cable channel number/name (which is what all of the recurring recordings point to). Should all of those recurring recordings have gotten updated to point to the "new" merged channel?

But, now tonight, all of my recurring recordings are failing with the error "Channel not found. Deleted?".

I had the thought that maybe I needed to do an EPG update afterwards to get the specific recurring episodes to reschedule on the "new" channel, so I did an Empty EPG and Reload EPG before Chicago P.D. was scheduled to start. But, it still failed with the same error. Looking at the log from where I emptied the EPG and reloaded it, I see:

Hi.

I installed nextool as follows:
- downloaded and unzipped NextTool-2.5.0.zip in my /opt/nextpvr/system/ directory (where my NextPVR program files are located);
- softlinked two files as follows (adapting the linux instructions):
  sudo ln -s /opt/nextpvr/system/runtimes/osx-x64/native/libe_sqlite3.dylib
  sudo ln -s /opt/nextpvr/system/runtimes/osx/native/libSkiaSharp.dylib

Then I tried to import a file: 
  dotnet NextTool.dll --import /Volumes/TV/Importing/Grammy.Awards.S01E66.mpg

and got these errors:

Quote:A fatal error was encountered. The library 'libhostpolicy.dylib' required to execute the application was not found in '/opt/nextpvr/system/'.
Failed to run as a self-contained app.
  - The application was run as a self-contained app because '/opt/nextpvr/system/NextTool.runtimeconfig.json' was not found.
  - If this should be a framework-dependent app, add the '/opt/nextpvr/system/NextTool.runtimeconfig.json' file and specify the appropriate framework.

Hello
New to the forum, but have been using NextPVR in Windows since MCE disco'd. I've been using over the air tuners with no problem.
Running fine.
I'm building a replacement Win11 (thanks again Microsoft)
Installed a USB tuner, it shows "IPTV device" and says I have to use the scan button. 
There does not seem to be a scan button; I have used this tuner before for over the air, so it should be working ok.
The only post I found was someone who only needed IPTV, so the reply simply indicated that IPTV did not need a scan.

Thanks for any directions

Hi all,
How do I import the channels from the IPTVAU addon into Next PVR?

The NextPVR backend service does not start the webserver at 8866, "http://server:8866/" is unavailable. The webserver also does not start on other ports that work with other PVR backends such as TVHeadEnd.
"Settings > System info > PVR backend" is greyed out when the NextPVR server is enabled.
The NextPVR Client immediately disables after attempting to enable as it cannot connect to the server.

I have gone as far as I can with debugging this myself, I can't figure out what the issue is here. Has anyone seen this before?

Device: Asus Chromebox 4
Motherboard: DUFFY
OS: LibreElec 12.0.2
Kodi version: 21.2.0

Log with debug mode enabled. PVR, webserver, and addons are in verbose:

Edit: Solution

An empty/junk key file was present in /storage/.aspnet/DataProtection-Keys. Removing the file and restarting the service resolved the issue.


Data Protection key locations on different systems:

Windows C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\ASP.NET\DataProtection-Keys or
C:\Users\%username%\appdata\Local\ASP.NET\DataProtection-Keys

Linux deb installer
/root/.aspnet/DataProtection-Keys/

Linux LibreElec
/storage/.aspnet/DataProtection-Keys


ASP .net looks in /storage/.aspnet/DataProtection-Keys for xmls files containing those keys. I am not sure why this keyfile was generated, it was created around the same time as the system was being set up along with NextPVR so I can't pinpoint a source.

Manually starting the service with ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development and curling the webserver pointed towards a .net XML issue.

Is there a way of signing in to a server where the user.password has been changed from the defaults?

I am having two big problems with NPVR since updating to V7 a couple weeks ago: (I've used NPVR for 8+ years without any issues whatsoever. V7 has not been kind to me... )

Issue #1: My EPG consistently shows "no listings" on about 50%-90% of my Guide listings (my EPG source is "DVB/ATSC EPG").  I just updated to Version: 7.0.1.241229 just now, emptied the EPG, updated EPG again to completion, and the latest result is that only 9 channels out of 90 show proper listings. Everything else (80 channels) show "no listings" in the Guide. 

Issue #2: The EPG updater is now changing channels DURING my recordings (evident by the channel changing multiple times every 60 seconds), making most of my recordings worthless if they occur during a scheduled EPG update (every 3-4 hours). Shouldn't the EPG updater be scanning frequencies with a tuner NOT currently in use? (I have a quad-tuner PCIe card from Hauppauge in my media center PC)

I'm in the Phoenix Arizona area. I'm attaching my logs and screenshot of the latest EPG. Let me know what other info I need to provide. I'd love to have this resolved asap. Thanks!

I have installed NextTVPI on my computer to record from the Titan TV website and NextPVR does not seem to process the record request.  I think I have the callsign and station matching, but I have yet to have any success.  The process works when I use WinTV, but I'd really prefer not to use that software.  Below is my tvpi file downloaded from Titan, attached are the logs (I don't see any information in the logs....perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place) and snapshots of the Titan configuration, etc.  I appreciate any help! Thank you!

Hi - got back into NPVR by running the official docker container in Docker Desktop on an old Mac I had around. Now wanting to move it to my ubuntu 24.04 machine and it's unable to find the HDHR device on my network....
