When using the NextPVR web console to stream channels it appears the config/web/temp folder is where the ts files are dumped.
is it possible to redirect that with the docker run command:
Not sure if this thread belongs here or in the Hardware sub-forum, but here goes. (Mods: please move it there if you consider it a more appropriate spot for this subject.)
In light of the information gleaned toward the end of my previous thread, I'm looking for recommendations for a remote that will broadly work on NextPVR in Microsoft Windows. Here's the setup that we are looking to put together:
One Windows PC getting a signal from a cable company set-top box via a Hauppauge HDPVR2. An HDMI splitter would send one arm to the HDPVR2 and the other straight to a TV set, which would also receive HDMI from the PC at another input.
(Note: We have three TV sets, but for a variety of reasons we do not wish to set up a network, preferring two of the TVs to be fed by their own STB-HDPVR2-PC chain and the other one only by a cableco DVR.)
All TV viewing with NPVR will be done at distances of 15-20 feet (meaning: not at a desk or on a portable device on our laps) and remote controls are preferred over mice and keyboards.
And finally, we would prefer to avoid using the "smart" aspects of modern TV sets, working instead through either the Windows NextPVR Player or the Web app.
Those who have used Windows Media Center will see that we're trying to replicate the WMC model as closely as possible.
For those reading this who have a similar setup or who have used one in the past -- are there any remotes that enable you to control all of the NPVR functions in either the Web app or the Player? For changing directly to a new channel (as opposed to scrolling up/down a channel list), it would require a numeric keypad.
What type or brand of remote do you use or would recommend?
SiliconDust HDHomeRun Flex Quatro ATSC HDFX-4US
1.This tuner has 4 tuners 2 regular a 2 ATSC3? or 2 regular an 2 ATSC1 (making it useless to record ATSC3?
I think theres some missinformation being thrown around by SD on ebay they say ATSC then at there website it's ATSC1 they are are getting real sneakie an low down w/ the truth.
2.will the 2 ATSC3 tuners in addition to ATSC3 work on regular channels also
3.or just work on ATSC3 bc at the moment,
4.I don’t think I have any ATSC 1 or 3 channels in my area (zip code 36111)so will I be reduced to only 2 regular tuners w/ this device?
5.when my area doe’s get ATSC3 channels: when I schedule a program to record a ATSC3 channel is the Silicon dust smart enough to use the ATSC tuner?
6.if both ATSC3 tuners are occupied w/ a scheduled recording will a regular tuner be able to record a ATSC3 channel?an vise versa? If yes by how much will the picture quality be degraded?
I'm taking a chance on this technology BC I had the orginal dual tuner in addition to haugpage 1800 an 2250 total of 5 tuners. whenever W7MC didn't record a scheduled recording due to loss of signal it was allways the silicondusts fault.
90% of the time the silicondust worked fine.
using windows10 pro an NextPVR
to be honest I don't even know what the differnce in regular ATSC1 an ATSC3 is or did so marketing guy just write some stuff on a sales pitch?
thanks for advise on there new Flex Quatro
Hello, I have been using NextPVR for 5-6 years but am new to posting on the forum. I have been running the server and client on a Windows 10 computer but it's too old to upgrade to Win11 and I want to get away from Microsoft. I've purchased a Mac Mini M4 and I had planned to run the NextPVR server in Mac OS, but after reading about issues surrounding that I decided it would be easier to try a Docker container installation instead. I have a recently purchased NAS on my network, but I thought I'd use some of that Apple computing power instead, because the Mac Mini is only being used as a media computer. BTW, I've been using PC's and Windows since the MS-DOS days, but I'm new to Mac's, NAS's, Docker, linux, etc.
So to get closer to my question: I just realized there isn't a NextPVR Docker image for arm64. What I've been able to find (after asking my friend Google multiple questions) says the arm32v7 image won't work with M4 machines and the amd64 image is for Intel machines. But, I also saw that Docker has some sort of built-in emulation process, and using the amd64 image might work in Docker (or maybe Orbstack instead) on Mac OS on an M4 machine. Can anyone offer any advice on this?
Failing being able to run in a Docker container on the Mac, at this point I think my only other options are to add a Raspberry Pi 3 to the network and run the server on it in linux or Docker (but I'd rather not add another device I have to manage and pay attention to) or run it in a Docker container on the NAS, which has an Intel chip.
The NextPVR forum has been very helpful to me, and I thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
Since updating to the newest version, I have had unreliable IPTV.
That may be coincidence of course and there may need to be a deep dive with logs et al but is there a simple way to revert to the previous version to just eliminate that easily?
How does game posters work in NextPVR? The first game I recorded was the Philadelphia and Dallas game. The show poster reflected that game. But when I look at any other subsequent NFL Football games the same poster is used. Can NextPVR use show posters that actually reference the game?
I just updated NextPVR and can't seem to update EPG.
Seems to be in an endless "Scanning Freq: _ " loop.
I don't use Windows on a regular basis, but EPG seemed to work before this.
I noticed that I have DVB/ATSC EPG and Schedules Direct options... I usually use Schedules Direct on Linux.
Is DVB/ATSC EPG necessary? Didn't see any way to change anything other than DVB/ATSC EPG options/settings.
I'm giving NextPVR a try and am having an issue I'm hoping someone can assist with. When playing several OTA stations (their IPTV versions as well) the video plays for 5-10 sec, pauses, then resumes but with the audio distorted. It almost sounds as if it's slowed down but remains in sync with the video.
I'm running NextPVR in docker on an Unraid server. I've tried transcoding via CPU and VAAPI but it has the same results. I also tried linking NextPVR to my Emby server and running it through that but it has the same results.
I ran 4.2.4 on my Win7 machine until early 2025 with an older version of Kodi on 3 different Nvidia Shields and everything worked great. In early 2025 I upgraded to Windows 10 finally and then I updated to NextPVR 297.0.1.241229 and I updated Kodi on a couple of my Shields. I remember everything working well but I haven't used NPVR to record until now. Unfortunately I never uninstalled 4.2.4 and they are both running on this machine.
I am pretty sure 7.0.1 is placed in C:\ProgramFiles\NPVR and the data directory for 7.0.1 is C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\ I couldn't get the web interface to load and I remembered that I had changed it to a different port since 4.2.4 was still on the machine. I looked through the \NPVR-data\config.xml file and found that I had changed it to 8867. So the web interface seems to be working and so I assume the 7.0.1 service is running.
But tonight I quickly tried to start a recording. I went to the system tray, right clicked on NPVR, then clicked "Start NextPVR". But after starting the recording, I noticed that it was the old 4.2.4 client. I then noticed in Task Manager -> Startup that NTray is loading from C:\Program Files (x86)\NPVR which I assume is the 4.2.4 installation direction. But in Services, I notice that the location of the service that is started is C:\Program Files\NextPVR\NextPVRService.exe, so I assume the 7.0.1 service is running.
Is the old 4.2.4 client still able to record using the 7.0.1 service? I'm just a bit confused about what is 4.2.4 and what is 7.0.1. I have the older Kodi and older NPVR add-on on one Shield. I was able to start a recording on that Shield and it created a file on my computer, but the file was just 0 bytes and that Kodi does not show the recording I had created on the computer with the 4.2.4 client, although the newer Kodi's on the other two Shields do show the recording created with the 4.2.4 client on the computer.
Will just uninstalling 4.2.4 solve my issues/confusion? Thanks.
Brand new Windows 11 Geekom PC. Fresh install of NextPVR, copying setup from old machine per discussion on other thread. Last night went to watch NBC Nightly News, which was recording about 5 minutes in. Would not open. Tried watching live, would not open. CBS recorded at the same time and was watchable. No message about unable to get signal. Live watching worked fine via TV directly.
It appears that HD HomeRun ending in 306 has an issue, potentially with the 2nd tuner, which is where NBC was recording to my inspection. Log files are a bit confusing to me, so I've attached.
306 was the same tuner having issues before, but we thought it was just a refresh issue... I have one other HD HomeRun I could swap in if that's the issue, but don't want to if that's not the issue.
I don't understand why if NextPVR can't use it, it doesn't grab another tuner. 306 0 and 1 are the first on the priority list.
When I use HD HomeRun software, I can watch all 4 tuners live no problem.
