is anyone having issue with IPTV following the last image 25th Oct v5.0.9.201026?
my docker boxes running latest CE are totally unusable, i get the TV picture up after quite a pause, then it freezes and every 10 -15 seconds it might move for a second or two then freeze again, this is happening on both SD and HD channels. Switching to IPTV Simple client on the same box plays the channels very smooth.
i also have the same version of NextPVR backed on my windows PC, and that plays smooth on windows, and also on my docker boxes if i point the NextPVR client to the PC instead of the local docker install, ive noticed a small stutter when i launch a channel from PC back-end that was rare previously but after that it is very smooth.
nothing jumps out at me in the logs from the docker boxes (i have attached a log)
prior to this latest image all had been working great on my CE /docker boxes..
i have docker boxes with their own reduced channel lists in each of my bedrooms, and another box in my lounge that connects to the back end on my PC with all channels. the docker boxes are a mix of AMLogic s905x, s905x3 and S912 and all appear to be effected
I tend to record a lot of stuff (TCM for the win!). Once a week or two i would go through the Program Guide, line up recordings, and then copy the existing recordings onto a networked disk. I then remove most of the previous recordings using the list of recordings on nextpvr. But not all of them. Some of them i'd like to have kept available on the pvr just for ease of viewing.
Is it possible to have the "Recordings - All recordings (list)" option list the recordings sorted by recording date? That way it's easier to see which ones to remove and keep, since my mind is working by recording date, rather than title at that moment?
Alternatively, as a lesser option - if i'm on the 'Recent Recordings' screen, and remove some but not all recordings through that screen - will the list be 'padded out' with recordings that would fall originally out of what 'recent' recordings are?
As a second alternative - if i remove a recording from the drive, will that remove the corresponding listing entry inside the PVR on recent/all recordings lists?

Hello,
I have NextPVR up and running, and I'm able to watch ATSC TV both live and timeshift. The issue is with EPG not populating. I'm in the US and have an active SchedulesDirect subscription. The credentials which get me onto the website are plugged in NextPVR settings.
During/after startup NextPVR appears to successfully fetch a token from SD. I'm also able to add the correct lineup on the settings page. When EPG update is kicked off it starts but never advances from ATSC scan to SD. NextPVR just reports EPG update completing successfully with 0 added/updated.
My client is Kodi, and watching live/timeshift ATSC (OTA) TV works while EPG update is not running. If the EPG update is started while watching TV, the stream in Kodi stops after few minutes and cannot be restarted without restarting NextPVR (Kodi logs show a connection timeout). I've also noticed the DeviceHostLinux processes hang after the main process has already exited, and have to be manually killed before restarting NextPVR. I wanted to isolate the EPG update issue, so this part is not captured in the attached logs - but I can try to replicate it again if it's useful.
I'm seeing the following timeout exception in the attached nrecord.log (line 18385) but it's not clear from the context what it is failing to connect (DeviceHostLinux?)

This hardware combo worked previously under Mint and was stable. I lost the system in an SSD crash so I'm not sure which exact version of NextPVR I had installed.
I have v5 installed on my Windows Server 2016 Essentials machine and using Kodi on my previous gen Shield as the client. All the settings are default.
I notice that SD channel IQ is noticeably soft across all SD channels. HD channels look fine to me. Is there a way I can improve the IQ on SD channels? I see that the config.xml has options under SreamingProfiles to adjust VideoBitrate. Is this where I should be looking? I've left the preferred streaming profile as 'default' under transcoding. I'm not sure what this does. Should I change this to the resolution of my TV?
I'm a deadset noob so feel free to be explicit with your advice. Thanks in advance.
I'm a new user, I discovered NextPVR some days ago and I did my first setup to try it today.
For now, everything is working well, except EPG. I already tried multiples tricks, but it still delayed by one hour.
My first try was on Docker, then I reinstalled it directly on a Debian 10 (fresh installed) with the DEB file and I still have this problem. The problem is the same, no matter if I use the web-interface or Kodi Client, on two different computers. I also tried another XMLTV file from another provider. My timezone (CET) is correctly defined on my server and on my clients.
NextPVR Version 5.0.9.201026
Debian version 10.6
Is there a known solution or a trick to fix this problem?
I'm a new user and have my Schedules Direct login and password entered but the EPG isn't updating. It only has the over-the-air program guide. Help will be greatly appreciated.
I'm a complete novice at this and not very technically minded, so please bear that in mind if you hopefully reply.
Using comskip, if I drag the recorded ts file on top of either comskip.exe or postprocessing.bat files, comskip successfully identifies the commercials in the vast majority of cases.
However, NVPR does not seem to run the postprocessing.bat file automatically and I have to do it all manually. What do I need to do to get NVPR to recognise and run the bat file please (in plain language if possible please)
Thanks
Don't know if intentionally but not all thumbnails are the same size when viewing all recordings.
I think it would be nicer if all thumbnails are same size.
Hi, I am very impressed with NextPVR and within a day had my machine set up recording, with all minor snags sorted by searching through this forum. I also got my smart tv to play the recordings via Plex.
When scanning, it missed a channel which I know is there, and can get the info required from the EyeTV setup I was previously using. Is there a tuner config file which is populated by NPVR when it conducts a channel scan, and is it possible for me to manually edit it to include the missing channel, and if so, which file is it and where is it located in a MacOS setup?
My rig is:
MacOS Mojave hackintosh, NPVR V5, ffMPEG home-brew installation, Elgato / Geniatech Netstream 4Sat.
I have a HDHomeRun Expand (4 tuners). I run NextPVR in docker on Windows 10.
I go to guide and want to record 4 shows currently airing. First three work but when I want to record the 4th (Lingo) it does not record, also Lingo in the the guide is not turned red. The strange thing is that when I retry it shows me a different popup suggesting it is recording?!?. When I check my tuner status only 3/4 tuners are recording.
