Is there a way to have version v5 of NextPVR utilize my updated XMLTV file for the EPG without having to run an updateepg.bat file?
My automated batch file that updates the XMLTV file takes about one hour to run. I've manually updated my XMLTV file, I just want NextPVR to import its data.
I've tried the nextpvr.exe -updateepg switch without any luck.
If I go to the NextPVR web app, About, Update EPG, it just wants to run the batch file again.
I've googled this over and over but just keep finding articles about running the batch file.
Kind of at a loss with this one. I dug around in the UI and couldn't find where to configure any post processing scripts. Not sure if this is specific to the Docker image or if I'm blind. The goal is to set up some bash scripts that I've cobbled together for some fancy post processing.
I'm running NextPVR on Linux, and I'm integrating it with Plex. So nextPVR makes the recordings in to a folder monitored by Plex. I'm also running Plex auto-optimization on the recordings to convert them from a .ts format to .mp4. All good, except that NextPVR seems to occasionally close off the file during the recording, I guess to save existing contextnt, and this kicks in the Plex auto-optimization and I end up with an optimized version that only contains part of the recording.
Seems like the way to fix this is to have NextPVR record to a location not moniored by Plex, and then move the recording the the Plex location when it is done. It appears I can do that by creating a PostProcessing.sh script in the scripts directory. Somehow, this seems like it would be a relatively common task, does anyone know if there is a script (or template) for Linux sh (not a bat file) out there that I can use to do a move at the end of the recording?
I understand shell scripting enough to be dangerous, but it would probably take me a few tries to get this right, and it would be nice if I could use something someone already coded.

Hi NextPVR folk.
I have just moved to trying NextPVR after weeks of struggling with MediaPortal2 and then MP1. NextPVR was a pleasant surprise, however, there's been a major upset—scanning the four tuner device/s on a Hauppage receiver card hasn't detected any of my national (Australian) broadcaster's TV channels. The first scan yesterday retrieved 22 channels. Today when I retried, it retrieved 25, but still no ABC. The ABC constitutes the bulk of what we watch! Although MediaPortal gave me many headaches, both versions detected the ABC channels with ease. I've tried (perhaps inadequately) searching this forum and not found anything related.
I did find this page: http://www.nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php?...WithOTAEPG that recommends ticking Scan Offsets as that's required by some devices in UK and Australia. However that appears to relate to an old version of NexPVR—I can't find that option in the current version.
As the title states - NPVR is unable to detect the HDHR Connect Quatro running on my network.
I am running NPVR via Synology Docker. I ran through the install instructions twice, once with and once without the additional -env setting. Neither installation could detect my HDHR. The log snippet below shows the HDHR never seems to respond to the query. Perhaps I missed something during setup? The current container settings are attached.
Hello. I have two Twinhan 3250 ATSC TV tuner PCI cards. The drivers show up in Windows 7 32-bit as DVB-TV 878 Digital Capture Driver and DVB-TV 878 Digital Tuner Driver. There's two of each of those drivers. Two cards, four drivers. No yellow exclamation point errors or anything in Windows in Device Manager.
NextPVR only lets me use one card at a time. If I start a recording, it will then say tuner not available etc if I try to start a second recording or watch a live channel.
Swapping cards in the PCI slots doesn't help. Both cards work at the same time in Windows 7 Media Center. I'd rather use NextPVR than Media Center.
Right now, with nothing being recorded or being watched, NextPVR "show status" popup window shows both tuner cards and neither is shown to be doing anything. It all looks normal.
The channels and device settings seem fine. The ATSC part of both cards show Present and Enabled in NextPVR. I am guessing the Twinhan drivers and NextPVR have a conflict of some kind. Searching the forums, there's a couple threads about other cards working only one at a time but then sub changed something in NextPVR to get both working to compensate for the weird card driver.
I've been using NextPVR this way for months and just now upgraded NextPVR to 4.2.5. It still only uses one card at a time. I saved the logs about five minutes after trying two channels at a time again.
I'd consider switching to Linux if both cards would work, but these cards are so old (but have strong tuners) I'd be surprised if any drivers would work at all. They don't even work with 64-bit Windows 7, only 32-bit.
Was somewhat shocked to find that the old model of being able to access a backend from a frontend on a networked machine has evaporated after I "upgraded" to version 5.
Is this gone for good or is this being fixed, and if so is there an eta?
