I set up a recording via Kodi for an NFL game.  I set a post-padding of 60 minutes.  I confirmed with the web UI that the recording was scheduled properly and had the correct post-padding.  For some reason, it ignored the post-padding when it recorded.  Logs attached.

When setting the web browser to full screen mode using F11 key and then watching live tv in the nextpvr web client the screen is offset and not really full screen. Without pressing F11 (browser normal mode) fullscreen video works fine. Here is a screenshot of what I see.

   

I checked a Youtube video using full screen browser mode and then selected full screen video and it displayed properly. I tried this with Edge Chrome and Google Chrome with the same results. Logs attached.

Thanks.

when using the web ui and trying to play live tv or recordings, subtitles will not show yet they show with the desktop interface.
I am using nextpvr 5 and am from the UK.
I think the subtitles are dvdsub type.
The same applies when using the knewc addon in kodi although it does subtitles when not transcoding and doing it direct.
Any ideas or updates please?
I tried editing the config file to edit ffmpeg but this did nothing.
I also noticed that when the streams would not show subtitles on the web ui, if i copied the url into vlc the stream would let me select subtitles.

Scratching my head a little:

NPVR server in the lounge v4 NPVR, Kodi on pc's, tablets etc around the house. This evening the kitchen pc windows/kodi v16 gets stuck on updating NPVR channels/programs, it's been good as gold for 5+ years.

Re-boot both - same, each can see each other on the network.

Check previously working config on android tablet, kodi quits after 30sec of pvr update.

Install kodi on 2 day old laptop, all good until I add the NPVR addon and configure it, then Kodi quits after 30 seconds.

On the kitchen pc I uninstalled the nextpvr addon to kodi, now I can't even get it back to kodi configuration state, it wont install from a zip or repo.

Not sure whats going on and could do without more home IT issues, it's frustrating because I've changed nothing (to my knowledge ...

Any ideas what to look at?

Is it possible to add air date information for tv series when artwork is loaded from using for example the thetvdb.com?
I ask as in the uk unfortunately tv guide data does not include air date for episodes yet it does seem to include the series and episode numbers (making it useful info for a airdate lookup by nextpvr)

I'm new to NextPVR and have been trying to set it up on a PC running Windows Home Server, however, I am having a few problems, so wondering if it just doesn't work on WHS any more, or whether I just need to do something differently.

Basically, all seems to be installed OK and I can see it running in the system tray but when I go into the NextPVR settings and try and access the Devices page, nothing happens, it just stays on whatever page I was on previously (I also don't see the available space diagram on the main page). I have installed it on a Windows 10 PC and that works fine, though unfortunately, that PC doesn't have a tuner card and really want it running on my server as that is on 24/7.

So is the latest version just not compatible with WHS, I guess the web browser on there is a bit old, so maybe that is the problem (not sure if I can install something more modern or whether that wouldn't work either), or do I just need to change some settings?

I just installed version 5 and cant seem to access the settings to set up?

I decided to install 5 being the new version and as as I have had some issues with version 4 stability.

After install on the webpage client at http://localhost:8866 I can see tv guide and settings icon with no access to configure server settings (tv chanels not working either). I was not required to enter a password to log in either.

Within version 5 desktop client I can access "About" / "General" / "Media Folders" / "Decoders" settings but if I select "Devices and Chanels" or "Configure Next PVR Server" buttons I get directed to a webpage with the following error "Server Error in '/' Application" as screenshot attached?

Hi to all.

I am using NPVR on Ubuntu 20.04. I set it up, added the IPTV and EPG list. Everything is fine. The problem occurs when I try to play a channel. Playback continues for 2-3 seconds, then stops (picture and sound freezes). Some channels play correctly and some do not. I suspect it has to do with the buffer. If it is too low then playback hangs. I will add that the channels play correctly in VLC.

Is it possible to increase the buffer for playback? Or is it something else? I attach the logs below.
