Hello, First of all Thanks for a wonderful piece of software.
I have set up NextPVR on a windows 10 pc about a month ago.
I use an extras tv tuner to use a HDMI-USB capture device. The extras tuner runs the batch file to change the channel on my set top box when the recording starts and everything works great except for one thing.
I only have manual recordings entered as I do not have an epg set up yet.
For example, I record a program on channel 10 at 3 AM. Then later in the morning I turn on the tv and watch channel 15, changing the channel with the stb remote.
I then have a recording set for 1 PM on the same channel as the recording for 3 AM.
The batch file for the extras tuner does not run at 1 PM to change the channel back to channel 10.
I have seen this in the logfiles that when there is a change of channels for recording, the batch file runs. If the second recording is on the same channel as the first recording the batch file does not run.
I see the logic in this as there is no need to change the channel when its already there as far as NextPVR is concerned. NextPVR can't know that I manually changed the channel.
I was wondering it there is a setting somewhere to force the running of the batch file for every recording.
Just downloaded the latest version, and went through my usual setup to run it in Docker. However, the new container fails to launch, and the following error appears in the Docker log:
"OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:345: starting container process caused \"exec: \\\"dotnet\\\": executable file not found in $PATH\": unknown"
So it sounds like there a problem running Dotnet, but I've never had a problem with this with previous versions of NextPVR. My previous NextPVR container still runs fine. Do we need to install some additional stuff in Docker now?
Perhaps this is just coincidence, but since doing the 1214 update, all recordings from CBS (even if recorded before or after the update) will not play back properly while using the NPVR client on the server PC. It plays fine using VLC and also via Kodi from a different PC. Recordings from other channels seem to play back just fine. I've uploaded the first few minutes one of the files to Dropbox. Is there anything obviously wrong with the recording? I don't get why only CBS would be affected, but I don't know how to examine the file to figure out what is going wrong. I use the LAV decoders in NPVR.
Before I get too far along settings things up, I want to sense check this.
I've been using Jellyfin a bit and looking to add live TV with NextPVR. But it seems that's recently broken due to Jellyfin changing. Nor is Jellyfin very nice via MrMC on the ATV (half working)
So I'm now looking at NextPVR with Emby on the ATV.
Native ATV app, proper support for NextPVR. Great. But I need to pay for Emby to even try this out.
Does anyone here have Emby and ATV and NextPVR server all playing nicely?
I'm also in the UK so wanting to basically get all the usual Freesat channels and EPG working properly. (replacing old Humax Freesat box)
This all has to be fairly wife-proof, so 'just works' is pretty important.
Any hints/tips/advice?
Also a few NextPVR questions if anyone has an interest...
I've already trimmed the setup/scan list using kingofsat so I just have the core Freesat (ish) channels.
Currently struggling with the EPG. I've set everything in the channel list to Freesat (UK) source for EPG, and despite setting 600s time on EPG scans, it still seems to revert to 60s and captures about 50 channels worth of now and next data, and then won't add anything else with recursive scans.
I appreciate some channels I have might not be on Freesat EPG, but surely the Freesat channels should all show up with an EPG entry?
If I set the EPG to the DVB/ATSC source then it captures more, but in 60s it still only captures a small amount, but recursive scans increase the EPG data. But only by a small amount. This is why I'm trying to force the scanning for longer than 60s because it seems 60s is only catching just what is on now and next... not days ahead.
I'm not sure if it's possible, but given most UK users will just want the 'freesat' clone setup, is it relatively trivial to just have a 'freesat' clone setup... and just copy the required files into my NextPVR for the channels/EPG so it all just works with sensible channel numbering and EPG sources etc?
Currently I have loads of duplicate channels, and it seems the Wiki help shows a different UI to amend the data, wheras the NextPVR uses a web interface now which doesn't seem to work in an intuitive fashion.
I've started re-ordering channels, but it seems there is no way to trim out unwanted channel entries.
All you can seem to do is put certain ones into a specific group?
The UI shown in the Wiki (which looks more like the MediaPortal TV Server config) looks like you can easily manage channels. The web interface system feels a bit limited in feature set? But I can't seem to find the UI like in the Wiki?
I have taken delivery of a new Lenovo Yoga 7i laptop today and have installed V5.
It records perfectly when awake, however it will not wake up from sleep mode to record.
I have enabled sleep timers, allow away mode, removed sign-in to resume from sleep after reading numerous other posts.
If anyone can shed some light on this for me it would be sincerely appreciated as otherwise it will require me to leave the laptop on all the time for recordings.
My logs are attached to see if this can help pinpoint the error.
I have logged in the web app from the openhab server, also cutting the line from this openhab item and pasting into the edge browser returns a good response

I've been having what I thought was an intermittent issue with truncated recordings for some while now, As of yesterday I know it's
not intermittent, I can replicate at will. Scenario is 3 programmes recording all on the same adapter. Programmes 1 and 2 finish at
the same time, programme 3 should continue but data from the adapter ceases when the first two are stopped. Adapter status is
still shown as active for programme 3. In order to eliminate the adapter (TBS 6205) I swapped it for a Hauppuage dual usb HD
dongle, the result was the same. I also re-created the problem on a laptop with Linux 19.3 with kernel 5.7. The attached logs show
clearly the data stopping, but it's not possible to see whether this happens for the first handle being stopped or the second. I attach
the logs including the .xml files to show the timings. I'ld appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.
Hi there! Video and audio gets out of sync for few seconds. If I do a playback of the same title using wintv, it plays and skip perfectly. I’m using mainconcept decoder, but I tried others without any success. Any suggestions?
In v4, when viewing channels in settings, the number of devices/sources for a merged channel was shown. Is there an easy way to see this in v5?
With all the sources/devices I have and the crazy way SD names the channels, I am not sure how many channels were merged and from what source. I am having a terrible bookkeeping effort on my hands. It would be very helpful to see what sources were merged on a channel basis.
