Hello,

I ended up here cause i am searching for a replacement of TVMosaic which not longer exists.
Is there a possibility to use the Server Side CI from the DigitalDevices OctopusNET?
From my understanding only the non standard paramerter x_pmt would be needed at the rtsp url.

Or with a different approach, is it possible to manually add rtsp stream urls as custom channels?
Like:
rtsp://@192.168.xxx.xxx/?src=1&freq=11302&pol=h&msys=dvbs2&sr=22000&pids=0,108,2920,2925,2921,2922,18,17,16&x_pmt=108
Which works at least for VLC to show encrypted channels.

Thanks in advance,
Heinrich

I have NextPVR server running on a Win10 machine.  For EPG, I have a script that runs under a daemon on my QNAP NAS in a linux container that updates an xmltv file that is available on my local network.    NPVR is unable to read from this xmltv file from the network location.   In the logs the error is that the file isn't found.  I can confirm that the network location is correct.  Pasting directly into windows file explorer brings it right up.  I have also created a windows network mapped drive and passed on the local mapped drive letter with the same results.  This all smells very much like a permissions issue, but I can't see where it is getting hung up.  The NAS folder that the file is shared with is public on the network requiring no user authentication.  On top of that, I have additional credentials set in windows for a valid user for the NAS.

I know the xmltv file is valid.  When I copy it locally, NPVR reads it just fine.  

Any suggestions to point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

I've entered into the epg setting two urls to download TV xml from  xmltv.co.uk in the giude section of settings
then I've specifically mapped certain channels to xml in the channels section of settings and selected xml source
but no info appears in the guide for these channels (the only real guide info is  those from EIT terrestrial i.e OTA guide) 

I know those channels are in the xml file because I have downloaded it separately and opened it in text editor- to deduce further I d need to know where that file  is saved in the nextpvr folders? or is it read internally from the url source and there is no xml file saved??

I noticed in another post of a similar nature someone talked about looking at the logs  and their lack of epg entry was caused by a malformed xml. 
The xmls  from xmltv.co.uk work with other systems (tvheadend/tvmosaic) so I dont believe it is that
     
I know one can download the logs in a zip file - this Ive done and looked at them all but they dont seem to tell me anything although they do have lots of timed entries about 0200am when the epg is supposed to be updated

the only reference to epg is in many lines of each device/tuner log saying "got GET request: /stream/epg"

Questions - where is the xml file from xmltv.co.uk stored ? 
where in the logs (which log file?) can I find what its doing and why its not loading the specific channel info?

thanks in advance for any help

ill add the container script below to see if i missed something. i have 2 hdhomerun tuners a 4 and 2 stream versions. i can get it to channel scan fine and merge them together. 
I have two issues 
1. when i pull epg data from schedules direct the guide is not updating. 
2. then i view a channel in the web gui nothing happens.

I added the webui port in advanced as i was not sure where to put it in the container xml as i coppied most of it. Thanks in advanced for any and all help with this.

Hi Martin

XNewa on Kodi 18.8 on Android TV Jumps out Playing Show Currently Recording

As title really but this is repeatable (I did it 3 times for this log);

Scenario A: Watch Show as Live TV → Plays fine without stopping, using the Buffer. At least an hour.

Scenario B: Record Show and Play Recorded Show  → Plays fine for a few second, 15s to 30s maybe, then bails out.
Recording continues though.

Any ideas on this one please?

It would be really useful to be able to schedule an Advanced recording, even when there is no matching show within the EPG.

I've recently reinstalled, and for various reasons, my existing configured recordings didn't transfer. I'm not looking to troubleshoot that now...

But, I want to set up a few of the recordings I know will be coming up over the next few months, but don't exist in the EPG currently.

For example, "I'm A Celebrity" - it's not on currently, and I generally don't follow news about when it's on, but I want it recorded every day when it is on... I did of course previously have a recording scheduled with the V4 install, so year on year, it just rolled round and recorded it.

This will also allow me to set up a schedule for a new show if I hear about it being made and it sounds interesting, but don't know when it's going to come out. Like setting up a little surprise for myself in the future!

This little change would be really useful for me

Thanks for the awesome software though!

I've just recently encountered an issue where some channels in the EPG have (no listings). I've mapped the channel to the XML file, and when I've opened up the XML file, there appears to be listings in there for the missing channels. For some reason they aren't showing up in the EPG. I've also tried clearing the EPG and re-updating, re-mapping the channels, re-scanning the channels, etc.

I've also tried checking the npvr.db3 for errors, though I'm no expert.

Below is my XML file and my logs.

I like the new scheduling setup it's much easier than in the past.  I setup a search with a specific title, and a subtitle and clicked Create Recording.  The only issue is that the show is on multiple channels at different times and always has an HD and non-HD version at the same time. Would it be possible to add an option when creating the recording to select a channel range or a list of channels that it would search? 

Example is recording a football game.  The title is always NFL Football, subtitle has the team name, and some weeks it is on Fox sports, some on CBS, some on something else, but always has the HD and non-HD at the same time.  I'd like to record it on whatever channel at whatever time, but only on the HD channels.  

I could make multiple recording schedules, one for each channel, but I'm still working on figuring out what channels will have it throughout the season. 

Thanks as always for a great product and I appreciate all your work on it.

I've been trying to use a PC as a NextPVR DVR with some success, but feel like I have hit a dead end.  I'd love to keep using it, but I'm really not sure where to go.

I began with a Hauppauge 950Q plugged directly into the machine, but would get occasional errors around failing to start recordings.  I thought maybe it was related to standby or windows restarts, but decided to buy a HDHomerun Connect based on positive feedback.   I tried 2 different HDHomerun devices with NextPVR, but the Silicon Dust devices would interfere with my Arris cable modem and cause terrible signal levels on both devices, making everything unusable.   The Arris modem played nice with the 950Q.   The Arris modem played nice by itself.   The SiliconDust device also played nice by itself.   Arris + SD = Nothing works.

I'll mention this is a ClearQAM environment and my TVs can receive signals with no problems.   The 950Q sort of works, other than when it fails to record.  The Silicon Dust stuff has been hours of failure with limited success.

So, I'm ready to give up.   It there a different path I should pursue?   I have a Raspberry PI, but that was garbage for 950Q uses.   It couldn't tune much of anything.   My best success was the 950Q with Win10, but the random missed recordings were making me crazy.   Please advice gurus.
