I am using latest Nextpvr v 5 with very latest Kodi and am seeing that if i set a timer for a recording and then watch the channel live just before the timer is due to start, the timer does not engage and the recording is not started. The moment i stop watching live then the timer kicks in. In a similar way, if i try to watch a channel that has a recording in progress and 'switch' to that channel, the recording is terminated at that point. I have time shift set on the system. Have i missed something in the setup or is it not possible to record a channel at the same time as watching it?
I have just loaded NextPVR 5.0.7 on my Windows PC. It works ok for HD TV channels but I only get sound and a blank screen for all others. I'm guessing I need some sort of Code "thingy" but I'm not sure how to do this. Can any one help please?
i had a scheduled recording last night started at (2020-08-02 1:29 AM)
Recording is due to be stopped at 8/2/2020 3:35 AM. But its keep saying "RECORDING" in NPVR WEB under Schedule Section until 10:13 AM then stopped
at Recording event time no HTTP errors occured
actual Recording TS File Stopped at 3:02:57 AM
its a first time this issue, i am not sure what cause this, i have attached the logs for you to investigate
Unfortunately, a lot of us live in rural areas where cable companies have a monopoly and are shoving old analog cable on us. ATSC offers very limited options in my area. I have installed NextPvr and it works great with ATSC. However it does not detect my analog tuner which would enable analog cable options, it only detects digital and QAM, I have no QAM. I installed Hauppauge SoftPVR and ran the .bat file. The AnalogDevice.xml configuration file was not present in the C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data after the successful install. I happened to have an old copy of that file, from an old win7 install on my hard drive. I modified that with the required information:
<Device filter="ATI AVStream Analog Capture">
<Name>ATI Analog</Name>
<Type>HARD_ENCODE</Type>
<FilterEncoder>ATI AVStream MPEG2 Multiplexer</FilterEncoder>
and moved it to the \NPVR-data directory, but it did no good. How should I proceed? Log file attached.
1. I never got this condition using v.4, and wondering if it might be something about v.5 or my driver? It seems to only do it on color movies and not B&W.
2. I'd like to experiement by removing one of the tuners, but not sure how - is this easy to do in v.5, or do I need to reinstall and resetup?
3. I don't know which physical tuner is linked to which device in the settings. Is there a way to find out?
4. Is .ts the only file type nvpr will record?
Symptom - see picture. It pauses, clicks, pixellates - as if it's intermittently losing signal.
I originally had v.4 on a computer I'm refurbishing, and I did an uninstall on npvr. Unfortunately I forgot to exit the service from the system tray first. I was told it was successfully uninstalled, but after exiting and deleting all registry keys relating to nextpvr and nrecord (and rebooting), I still see the Recording Service in the service listing in task manager. How do I get rid of that?
tks
I set a recording to record once a week on Saturday. But after a couple of days, it started recording daily and some of the upcoming recordings have changed the channel I have set it to record. It's supposed to be ME-TV Sat at 8pm. but tonight's and next Sat are sert for WRC, but then back to ME-TV for the next two.
I don't have a guide grabber setup yet, would that be causing the issue?
If I am watching live TV, how do I begin recording what I'm watching? In V4, ctl-K began recording and produced a dialog only if there was no guide info for what I was being watched.
Hi,
I am having quite a few failures to record scheduled shows (only around half succeed!).
Also, in NextPVR.exe:
• going to ‘Live TV’ rarely works (once ever I think).
• From the TV guide>double click on currently broadcasting program opens a menu> Selecting ‘Watch’ is more likely to play the program, but yesterday I had to reboot the PC to get this to work. Mostly it will report “Unable to find available capture device (Device failed to start)”
It seems there’s a LOT of fails, but many only occur intermittently. What can I do to make this reliable? Can anyone help?
Does the NextPVR tray app have to be running for full functionality on a windows PC setup to use Standby mode? I'm trying to sort out why I miss recordings sometimes and wonder if it has to do with Windows automatic restarts to apply updates.
