Setting up NextPVR on new hardware, all's working well so far apart from the desktop client which itself is fine until watching a recording or live TV where I don't get any on screen display (play bar and controls, etc).
Basic keyboard controls work (left/right arrows, space bar), BUT stop working after trying something like Ctrl-X or Ctrl-B. I can use the mouse to get the right-click menu up and everything within that seems to work. I have to press Escape to get back to the menu.
Just got NextPVR working tonight with Kodii and so far it has resolved a lot of issues I was having using WMC and Server WMC. I have one big issue though, which might be something simple to resolve, but I can't work it out. I have 2 x HD HomeRun devices, 4 tuners in Total, but it seems I can only use one tuner. It knows about all 4 of them, I can see them all under devices, but if I start recording a channel on my Kodi box, I cant change the channel, when I select another channel nothing happens. If I try to load NextPVR Web interface I can only play the channel I'm recording or already watching on Kodi. If I select another channel I get the error "failed to start requested stream" down the bottom.
When I first set everything up I had 4 duplicates of all the channels so I went in and hit "merge" under settings - devices - advanced tools and it seems to have fixed the guide issue but only allows me to use the one tuner. I'm not sure if that was the right thing to do or not so if someone can help it would be much appreciated.
I am recording a movie called "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" and when I browsed for the folder I found the recording in a folder called "SY3JLR~2". I have no idea how this happened.
I started the same movie using my Windows Nextpvr server and it created the correct folder name. Any Ideas?
Since earlier this week, watching with the Desktop App on Win10 x64 has been continually stuttering with the picture and audio cutting in an out very often - like the tuner cutting out. It is not happening with the web app which works fine.
It is all weird as there have been no recent updates. KB4580419 has failed to install for the last few days so I've just installed it manually, rebooted and it made no difference. Coincidentally my bluetooth mouse has been playing up at the same time and I keep having to run the Bluetooth troubleshooter to reconnect the mouse if I don't use it for a few minutes (without even the PC going to sleep).
I am up to date with NextPVR which I think I updated on the day of release and it worked fine for a while.
Just over a week ago I upgraded the PC from 8GB -> 16GB RAM but the TV was OK for a few days after that. While troubleshooting the Bluetooth I have updated its drivers and Intel Graphics driver. I could try downgrading the graphics driver as that may have been around the same time as the issue started. The Bluetooth update was a couple of days later.
First I am new to NextPRV so please forgive me if this may already been ask.
After scanning for channels I noticed one channel (12-1) is in SD and not HD. I know the channel transmitting in HD. I have confirmed that the tuner is working, because my other PVR routine "kaffeine", displays the 12.1 in HD. I try re-scanning to no effect. So why is NextPVR finding this station in SD vs HD? Also, is there away I can manually force NextPVR to look for the channel in HD?
I installed NextPVR 5 on Linux Mint 19.3. I was able to scan for and find around 60 channels.
When I try to watch one of these channels from TV Guide by selecting the channel and clicking on Watch Now, I get the message "Failed to start requested stream".
I've been going back and forth about this request, but after seeing the thread in the general section about locast support, I thought I'd post it here just for giggles. Right now I am using Channels DVR to "convert" TV Everywhere channels (which I have access to through my Spectrum login) to IPTV channels that I can ingest into NextPVR. It's working (I'm using an RPi4 since there is no transcoding, just some remuxing of the strem apparently), and I've turned off my analog encoder/cablebox/IR blaster solution for now in favor of that. But it would be nice to do it without another piece of hardware/software. TV Everywhere is more complicated than locast mostly because it looks like you have to login, get a list of channels, authenticate, and then use widevine to decode things. So it might not be reasonable to expect an Extra to manage all that (and I don't think I have the knowledge of TV Everywhere and/or widevine to do the programming work).
Since I rarely have a need to go to Settings page of the web client I was wondering if a link (or some other indication) to the announcement could be placed on the main menu bar when a new update is available. This would be more likely to draw attention for people wanting to stay current.
