Hi Guys, I am new to the forums here but not to NextPVR, I have been using the old setups for a couple of years now, I decided to update to the very lastest V5, all went well as I had decided to uninstall the old one V4 and start afresh, it records fine through a TBS 6284 card and when I click on the recording it plays, however I am unable now to play live tv either through the web app or the desktop app, on the web one I get "Streaming Failed Transcode Terminated" and on the desktop one just a blank screen.
I am running Win 10 Pro fully updated and use a AMD Radeon R9 200 Series 2GB GPU other than no live TV everything is fine.
I am using nextPVR in a docker container with the official nextPVR image.
The docker container runs inside Ubuntu 18.4 LTS.
Before I start explaining, this behaviour only happens with some channels. Other channels are working fine.
The behaviour I am having is as follow:
Whenever I start playing a channel (Boomerang) from my IPTV via the NextPVR Web UI I am getting the following error:
Code:
Streaming Failed (transcoder exited)
If I am playing the same channel using Emby, the channel at first stops for about 10-30 seconds, then it starts playing as normal.
I played the same channel with Kodi, the behaviour is the same as with Emby.
When I played the same channel with Android TV or Mobile I am getting the same streaming failed error.
Another issue I am having is with recording. When I record from this channel the recording is broken. I can only play the recording with Emby and Kodi but not with any other players, like VLC. At the moment I am not sure if the recording issue is related to my main issue.
I uploaded the logs from Emby and NextPVR.
From the previous discussion we had, you said this has to be something related to FFMPEG.
I also tried using HW encoding, I thought maybe it will help to transcode but it didn't help. I remember you saying that this is nothing to do with HW.
If you need more logs or investigation please let me know.
I have a very good IPTV provider, but it updates the list of channels constantly, some channels enter and others are deleted, when I update via the update button m3u the new channels are included in the Iptv Device but the deleted channels remains in the channel list, it would be very cool if NextPvr offered the option to delete channels not present in the list after the update.
Is launching an external player supported in the NextPVR add-on for Kodi 18.8? I can launch an external player using Files but I don't see the option in the context menu in the NextPVR add-on.
Hi All,
Is there any way to change the 'channel header style' in the web app for v5?
As you can see its a little messy for longer channel names and in some case the logo seems to be quite small?
FYI... I've edited the config.xml to show only icon's for the desktop app but it doesn't reflect in the web app and TBH i'd prob use different settings in the web version anyway..
Not sure whether to post this here or over at Emby, so i'm doing both.. but I'm having issues getting Emby to be able to connect with NextPVR. I'm on the latest server beta 4.6.0.1 using NextPVR plug-in 3.6.0.0 provided by emveepee and NextPVR 5.0.8.
Basically on the surface, it looks ok, but despite multiple guide refreshes , server restarts, it wont reflect new channel changes or allow playback/streaming of TV data. It also cant access recording schedules. i can see recorded content. Interestingly the guide data is up to date for the channels that have not changed. I have attached the logs for both Emby and NextPVR. in the Emby log, it shows the following, which seems to indicate Emby cant authenticate/communicate with NextPVR due to a version error?

Greetings, I just learned about NPVR and it looks very exciting to me. Unfortunately, after scanning the channels on my HDHomeRun Extend, when I click on a channel I get this error message:
Error starting transcode: error: Internal Server Error
I have installed 64 bit ffmpeg (from lame.buanzo.org) but when I open Activity Monitor it does not appear on the list of running apps. Does ffmpeg need to be manually attached to NPVR in some way? Or does it need to be launched from terminal?
I've been having long running issues with v5 that I did not exerpeince on v4 yet cannot solve. Although I've been using NextPVR for years there are many things I don't know nor understand so you might have to take things slowly!
First and most annoying is a delay starting the TV tuners. If I open either NextPVR desktop or KODI (I normally use KODI) before the tuners appear in the backend status both programs claim they cannot communicate with the backend. Even then the tuners are available KODI cannot recognise this and I have to close and reopen. The time it takes for the tuners to appear varies, but perhaps 30s - 1min is common. This means I cannot autostart KODI upon entering windows.
I believe I've include the logfile (logs-20201003-1650)
When changing channels in KODI it quickly buffers which can take ~5-10s before it plays again normally. It usually does this quite quickly after changing channel but is not a given. The video appears fine and audio in sync before it buffers, so not quite sure what it is doing. I've played with the various time shift, chunk sizes and prebuffer but nothing made a differnce.
NextPVR desktop just takes a while to change channel, then might have random stutters through a program. I can't see any options with NextPVR to alter or adjust this.
I believe this is included in logfile (logs-20201003-1656). It should incude a channel change in NextPVR and KODI.
Can anyone help shed some light on these issues?
Ta for any help in advance!
