If you use the pre-pad and post-pad options, then the times in the scheduler list aren't entirely accurate. The list shows the start and end time of the program, but the recording will actually run a bit longer due to the padding. It would be useful to have an option to show the amount of padding on the list, so you don't have to click on each entry if you want to see if it's got padding options. I went ahead and added this to my own installation, by modifying recordings-grid.js:

Hello,
For the past few days, my NextPVR server has been acting up.
I use an LXC container on a Proxmox host.
My media data is stored on a NAS in my private network.
I am now experiencing the following error/problem:
The recording works, but when I try to play the movie in the browser, it fails to start.
If I play the same movie on my Jellyfin server (on the same network and connected to the same NAS), it works.
I think the problem might be with the NextPVR server, but I can't find the root cause.
Please help me!
Thanks,
Kfmf

I’m a new user of NextPvr V7.  After working on some instability issues for few days (like frequent crashes), it seems to be working after updating it with the NextPVRUI.dll.  Now I need help setting up the skipforward 60 seconds. By default, it seems to only forward 15 seconds.  Most commercial breaks in the USA are 4 minutes. Obviously it would take 4 remote control clicks vs 16 clicks to skip a commercial break.  I modified the config.xml skipforward to 60 but no help. All renderers and decodes are set to default.  Thanks for your help

Hello NextPVR users & "old heads!"

After 25 years with a satellite provider "I have seen the light." I am also a new SD account holder and a new user of NextPVR Ver. 7. I have a simple private LAN setup whereas I use a NON-INTERNET connected router to access NextPVR & Kodi via my laptop running Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.1 with a slim down (all apps disabled or unstalled....except for Kore remote app for Kodi Nexus) android Motorola Pla. I am using Hauppauge Dual USB tuner connected to the laptop. This ensures a closed system. This setup works very well. I use my Samsung S25 Ultra cellphone to temporarily activate its hotspot & then using the FireFox browser on laptop to update my SD EPG. After SD EPG is downloaded and channels are populated I deactivate the hotspot & then reconnect laptop's wireless network back to the router. This closed process works well. However, when I "switch" back & forth between the two accesses NextPVR does not retain my SD EPG source link. I can establish it and reassign it to all my local channels while connected to my hotspot...then I turn off hotspot and return my laptop back to the my close LAN....all works until I once again open the browser to access NextPVR via my hotspot thu my laptop...my SD EPG source is no longer listed on the EPG sources page. My SD login info is still shown on the Guide page. I even have re-entered my SD login credentials & selected the button to reload/refresh my SD source. No action occurs. I have closed FIreFox and re-open & even refreshed the browser. I have also tried another browser...same outcome. I tried several uninstalls/re-installs and always made sure I selected "remember me" at NextPVR login. I have also read/reviewed a great source (user manual )for NextPVR (Page Index - sub3/NextPVR GitHub Wiki).  It seems like NextPVR is not retaining OR is there something with SD access that is forcing NextPVR to not retain my selected SD EPG source when switching from my hotspot connection to my closed LAN?

My goal is to have my SD EPG source retained in NextPVR and also assigned to each of my local channels not matter if I switch between my closed LAN or using my cellphone hotspot to update SD EPG or not. Unfortunately, I have to re-assign the SD EPG source to each channel every time I switch accesses.

Any insight/information/workaround/NextPVR configuration file adjustments/ or other would be greatly appreciated!

I was recently forced to upgrade NextPVR from 6.1.3.230521 to 7.0.2.250621
in order to resolve issues with the Schedules Direct JSON support.
I also upgraded from knewc 2.9.4 to 2.10.1.

Ever since, I appear to have 2 main problems:

1. If I play a file under the Videos menu, it starts ok.  If I interrupt
the video (Last.Week.Tonight) and then attempt to restart it, the restart always hangs.
I have to stop the video hang, play it from the beginning and skip forward
to my desired location which is a big pain.

2. One of my favourite features, the FullscreenRandomPhoto no longer works - <ActiveScreenSaver>FullscreenRandomPhoto</ActiveScreenSaver>.
When the screen saver is initiated, the Kodi error message "No Favourites Found"
appears instead as shown in the attached photo.  knewc stops.
If I press ESC to clear the error message and restart knewc
then the screen saver starts up, but eventually fails again.

Any ideas?  Attached are the NextPVR and Kodi logs.

I'm trying to update/import the VOD from my provider.  When I update the channels on the device it says there are vod channels, in the update channels says: Done (838 vod) (838 vod)

When I choose the VOD menu item in the browser, it's empty.  Any idea what's causing that?

Is there a way to set the default view when you click "Recordings" in the webapp to "All Recordings (List)"? I never use the "All Recordings" view and so every time I have to switch the view with the drop-down. I looked in config.xml and there's a setting called "RecordingsList" but I've been unable to find any documentation on whether it is related, and changing it to "list" did nothing.

Hi, 

Quick form of this question: Is there a device or any setting alterations that will cut down on the 3-4 second delay that I'm experiencing with an HDMI source fed through NPVR via a HD PVR 2 (connected via USB 3.0) from my Windows PC to clients throughout my home (Kodi running on Ras Pi 5's).

Long form info:

I purchased a used HD PVR 2 from eBay to test this setup. I already had a setup established that's been working for years with QAM Cable and PCI 918 Tuners as well as IPTV sources. I want to add a Fire Cube that feeds through NPVR. The reason is to have sports games ran throughout my house that broadcast on apps that I can't get (at least I don't think I can) through Kodi, such as Peacock. 

I set up the device with no issues. Made a channel and called it "HDMI" on my channel list. I can play it fine with no issues, other than a delay of about 3-4 seconds. When I watch the feed and press the remote, it takes about 3-4 secs to see the button press move on the screen. Now that I know the setup is achievable, is there a different device or different settings that might cut down that delay? I wouldn't have an issue paying for something more expensive than what I currently have, if it would help. 

Windows PC
Device shows as "HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition" on WinTV10
Device shows as  HDPVR "Local Recorder (Siena Crossbar)" on NPVR Devices page
Using most current version of NPVR
Sending to Kodi on RasPi5's (everything hardwired with cat5e throughout the home)

Thanks in advance!
