Started using NextPVR a long time ago, indeed I've had it running successfully as a server on Windows with a LibreElec Kodi client for over ten years now. I recently took the plunge to update the Windows 10 version of NextPVR from 4.2.5 to the latest 7.0.3 (250920), but struggling to complete the upgrade.
Device: Hauppauge WinTV-DualHD (a device scan shows two DVB-T tuners, IPTV and two DVBC tuners)
Using Hauppauge WinTV 8.5 confirms the device is running fine and I can scan, see and record all channels using this software.
Using NextPVR 4.2.5 confirms the device is running fine and I can scan, see and record all channels same as WinTV. The Kodi client connects successfully to the 4.2.5 NPVR server and does its thing fine.
After uninstalling 4.2.5 using its uninstall program, I install 7.0.3. and can see the Hauppauge device.
When I try a channel scan it fails to discover any channels on either of the two DVB-T tuners on the device.
I've tried scans with "All Countries / All Regions" and also my local "Australia / Hobart" location. I've tried with the HauppaugeTVServer service disabled and enabled.
Log file sequence numbers and date/time stamps indicate possible overwrites from different install attempts(???), however they do show the device is regognised and channel scanns attempted. They also show the client is attempting to connect with the server which hasn't been set up yet - probably not a good thing.
If I revert to NextPVR 4.2.5 it works fine and this is my fallback position however its a bit defeatist and I'd like to understand what I'm doing wrong.
I'm trying to get next PVR to use some lava codecs installed on my Pc. All I'm reading over and over and over again is people talking about "the drop down menu in nextpvr settings". I cannot find any setting relating to either video or audio codec options anywhere on next PVR. Where is this 'drop down menu' in settings? Thanks very much
Just re-imaged my PC with a clean windows install. Did a clean install of NPVR v7.0.3.250920. I noticed it was released today. Installer failed to create the NPVRdata folder in C:\users\public\npvr data.
I cannot connect to the server web page or npvr.exe at all so there are no logs to send you. The folder in C:\Program files\NextPVR looks like it installed OK, but no data folder.
AllI see is a grayed out icon in the system tray.
Uninstalled and reinstalled several times with same result.
The system image I have was used to install prior versions of NextPVR so I know it is good in case you ask.
Please check it out.
Hi - I recently changed my tuner from a Hauppauge to an HDHomeRun - which works great, I might add. The only problem I am having is that after the switch, the EPG update is not working. It runs, but always ends with no data and the message :"EPG Update complete. [0 inserted, 0 updated, 0 skipped]". Recording works perfectly, but having the EPG guide is a help sometimes. Any help would be appreciated. Attached are my logs. Thank you!
I have a fresh install of NextPVR (v7) on a Windows 11 touchscreen all-in-one PC.
All is working as before, same PC Win10 but don’t know which version of NextPVR.
I have a couple of little niggles I would love to fix.
I want to be able to start NextPVR in a ‘Maximised’ window but not in ‘Full screen’ mode.
I want the Windows Taskbar to remain visible, this was how it worked on Win10.
What do I have to change to make it work like that on this new Win11 install?
The other issue is that on my previous install there was a mini toolbar that would appear for a few seconds that allowed me to change channels up and down etc. when I tapped the screen.
How do I get this back instead of the full width channel banner across the bottom?
Thanks Martin, for all the help getting this release ready!

Hey there guys, I'm having a problem and would just like to get some clarity please.
In my area, there are only 4x OTA channels available. I own 2x HDhomerun Extend, and configured NPVR so every tuner sports one channel each using their IPs and tuner number, which worked perfectly through multiple clients concurrently watching the same channel over the same dedicated tuner. The PC running NPVR was a Razer Blade Stealth 13" (i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz with Intel® UHD Graphics 620 /16GB RAM).
Now I had to move my NPVR server over to a Lenovo M81 (i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz/RAM 8.00 GB/NVIDIA GeForce 605 (969 MB)) and I can't seem to be able to watch the same channel over two clients as I get the error "The tuner is no longer available" - in short, I'm no longer able to use tuner sharing/concurrent tuner access across multiple clients.
Anybody could pinpoint why is that, and say if I had a Nvidia GeForce T600 4GB, will I gain access to tuner sharing back?
Looking for a WMC remote to complete our new NextPVR setup, I purchased this item.
However, I am far from expert in these matters: please forgive my ignorance. Of the five items in the photograph, I know what four of them are and what they do, but... what's the small dongle seen to the left of the remote, above the batteries? It has a 3.5mm connector, apparently intended to plug into the back of the receiver on the right. What is this dongle for?
I just installed NextPVR on my Proxmox server as an LXC container. My Kathrein EXIP 418 SatIP server was recognized immediately, and the channel scan was also successful. As a test, I opened a channel from the guide in VLC (as an HTTP stream), and playback worked perfectly as well.
However, I'm having an issue with updating the EPG. In the guide, I only see "(no listings)", and when I manually try to update the EPG via Settings -> About -> Update EPG, I only get the message: "EPG Update complete. [0 inserted, 0 updated, 0 skipped]".
I've attached screenshots and log files for reference.
I'm really impressed with how easy everything is to set up and how quickly the streams start. I was hoping to replace my current setup and switch to using the Jellyfin plugin with NextPVR – so my highest compliments for this project! I really hope there's a solution for my issue, and I would be grateful for any help!
