What is a good choice if I want both Windows 10 Support and Linux support for a ClearQAM Silicon Dust tuner with NextPVR? I use a Hauppauge 950Q right now, and it works okay in Windows 10 and not very well in Linux. I'd like to upgrade to a model with 2 or more tuners and supports both OS's, as I'd like to play around with which OS I choose. I'm considering the HDHR3-CC. What say the experts?
Hi, I'm having some trouble with NextPVR. The thing is i'm currently testing out the web player, and am always getting a "Receiving Data" screen at the bottom of the NextPVR Web Page and a black screen with a time counter progressing forward. This happens on live and recorded TV. The black screen also happens when i use the client. I'm running windows 10 on a older i5 Intel NUC. My TV Tuner source is a K-World UB445-U TV Tuner. I pulled it from another computer I had it working with. The thing is it was working a while ago, (some years),on another computer, but now I'm not sure how i made it work. Channel Scanning is working and I'm using cable tica, a costa rican cable provider with it. From what I understand they are still broadcasting in analog qam, as well as HD, but i currently don't have access to the HD Channels. From what i remember this used to work with the older computer, and i do remember I had it working with an old version of NextPVR, on said computer. I have no clue why the channel canning is fine, but there is no video when i go to play a channel. Could it be bad drivers, bad codecs, or something? Im not sure anymore, so please help. here is my logs. Thanks

This section puts a smile on my face. Thanks to all involved for making this happen with Linux!
I have been using Linux Mint now for about 4 or 5 years and basically use it for all my internet-facing computers, so this is very interesting to me.
There is a situation I have wondered about, though in typical fashion for me, I am probably the only one who ever thought of it. Could it be practical for one to compile and load the "test" application in Linux for the Hauppauge HD-PVR2 on this platform? https://hauppauge.com/pages/support/supp...tml#hdpvr2
I do have a couple of these and use one connected to a sat tuner box on a regular basis, though using Windows XP and a much-outdated version of NextPVR on a HP DC7900 USDT with an E8400 Duocore processor.
I intend to upgrade to a more recent computer in that rack (an HP 8300 USDT with 4 core i5-3470s processor - Linux Mint seems to like these so I have a couple extra), so this might be a path I could go down, otherwise I am probably looking at loading it with Windows 7.
Out of nowhere, I'm getting a "Root element is missing" error when trying to open TV Guide or Recordings from the menu. I tried emptying the EPG and deleting config.xml to get a fresh copy but neither made a difference. Any ideas as to what could have gone wrong?
Logs attached, but they don't seem to contain the error, so I've pasted what appears in the error modal.
Here are logs.
The behavior is slightly different than in v4.
The first time I tuned to an offline channel, NextPVR returned to the main menu after about 2 seconds. I then exited NextPVR.
When I restarted NextPVR and selected "Live TV", it tried to tune to that offline channel again, but this time led to a black screen and hang, with the same behavior and workaround as I reported in my v4 bug report.
When watching live TV, if I accidentally tune to one of them, the NextPVR 4 client hangs. It's inconvenient when using an IR remote, as it no longer answers to any remote command, not even to try to tune to another channel. The up/down arrows that I have mapped to buttons on my remote no longer have any effect.
I have to use my wireless keyboard/mouse. The following steps do technically work.
1. right click in black screen area
2. wait about 5 seconds for pop-up menu
3. double click another channel
4. wait about 5 seconds again
5. new channel finally comes up
I have attached a log of a session when I just tried to tune to KTVUDT2 which was offline and this hang happened. I just closed the app afterwards using the wireless keyboard/mouse.
In that case, NextPVR comes back to the same offline channel the next time one tries to watch live TV, necessitating the above steps to be employed. I think if the channel was not tuned correctly, NextPVR shouldn't save it and come back to the same channel the next time around.
Was able to do more testing and the Live TV will just show a black screen after some amount of time. Tried bunch of different builds and they all seem to do same thing. Had odd sound cracking noises on 18.7 and 18.8 so just included logs for latest matrix and an 18.5. Think I did the debug log right but let me know if it isn't.
I remember you helped fix this before--seems to have crept up again in 5.0.6. A certain provider supplies mpegts streams that NextPVR is passing through ffmpeg even though there's no reason to--leading to ffmpeg pegging the CPU and choppy playback.
Logs attached, happy to give you credentials or remote access via vnc to the box if that helps.
I just turned on the EPL game on NBC today and watching it is so weird. The stadium has no spectators of course, but NBC has added virtual crowd noise, singing talking, cheering etc.
