When watching an in-progress recording, the Kodi timeline reflects the growing recording length properly, however, it does not recognize when the recording stops. For example, I start watching an hour-long program after it has been recording for 45 minutes. The recording length as reported by the Kodi timeline keeps growing past 1:00:00 and doesn't stop until I stop and restart playback. Is there any way around this? Thanks.
I currently have a Nextpvr installation on a Windows 10 machine and I want to import all my recordings to a Docker version on a Synology nas box. But unfortunately it does not work.
The filepath is different, and the import is not working. I have copied all the old recordings to the new Docker installation recording directory.
NextPVR was working fine until I started to used it 8 months ago. Since it was configured, I did not need to navigate the settings, until this week, to fix a channel naming issue. When I went to the Web app settings, I realized I could not navigate to Devices and Channels menu anymore. When I click on them, nothing happens, so I could not fix my channel issue. Also, TV guide, channels, recordings, etc were all empty in the Web App but visible through the client and over Kodi. I decided to update the NetxPVR version to the latest but it did not help. Now the EPG does not update anymore with this new version. I also unninstalled/re-installed with no luck. I looked at the logs but it seems that clicking on the not working menus does not update the logs at all, so they are useless to troubleshoot.
Could it be a browser issue? Using chrome and edge give bad results (font sizing). The only one that seems to work is Explorer.
I have been reading about the demise of the free TheTVDB API for a while and is becoming clearer that there will be a big impact on v4 users so I thought I'd make a post here to give users a heads up. Basically the biggest source of meta art for TV series will be disappear. The have announce that the new API is starting now and the current API will not be available by the end March 2021.
If art in NextPVR is of importance know is the time to start to fully move to v5. v5 already can use another source (tvmaze) making it more future proof.
So, been browsing a bit through the forum, and i think i'd like some advice on what the best low power usage setup would be, when using RPis.
I have an 8gb Pi4, and i think i have a Pi3 somewhere gathering some dust.
So far i've tried:
- run nextpvr on the pi4, using the web UI HDMI-ed into the tv. Seems to be going ok. Some UI usability issues that have been solved in third-party players like kodi
- run kodi on the Pi4. Even without nextpvr in the background, it seems to be a bit too slow, showing some lag and stutter when selecting menu items. So i don't know how this would improve if i run the pvr frontend through kodi to talk to the backend on that same Pi4
What would be the easiest way to get a less-laggy kodi (or other system) to run, and have nextpvr serve as the backend? Should i get another pi4, and run kodi on it, connecting it to the backend pi4 running nextpvr?
Ideas? Let me know :-)
BTW: am retiring an old laptop that was running mythtv 0.27... Finally getting rid of that energy hog!
When selecting to watch a show live, you see the channel number and the name of the show. However, the next time you view this information (by hovering over the player window in a browser), all the info is there, except the channel number.
To improve the web UI, is it possible to:
- use the keyboard arrows to move left / right / up / down through the program guide entries
- use the enter key to open an entry
- have a shortcut key to highlight and open the dropdown list to select the day to view in the program guide
- when reaching the beginning or end of the day - refresh the screen to show the next day of the program guide
A couple of options here:
- Hover over a program guide entry, and show as a hover/popup some information of that particular show
- Show for any program entry, as space allows, some summary information of that particular show
Hey, i know on forums you hear about all the problems encountered during installation, etc.
Just wanted to drop a note that i got things working by simply installing the .deb package on the Pi4. No drama.
It probably helps that i have previous experience with MythTV, already have a SD schedule set up, knowing terminology, and overall approach. But yeah, this is smooth.
I'll be tinkering with this the coming days - couldnt get MythTV 031 to work on the Pi4 with a HDHomerun tuner - so am happily surprised this is so much easier.
