Over the last few days I have noticed that a number of scheduled recordings have been missed, not failed but they continue to be in a 'Pending' state. A couple of these have been automatically rescheduled (?) to another time - Emmerdale and Coronation St to today, Sunday June 7th, at 09:00 (ITV3) and 07:30 (ITV3) respectively. However, in the case of Coronation St the pending start time has passed and it is still showing as 'Pending', Emmerdale has not yet reached its rescheduled start time but I kind of expect the same to happen.
On checking the logs I can see that from 2020-06-07 02:46:37.244 the database is being reported as locked, this continues to be reported until 2020-06-07 06:59:33.682. My SD update starts at 02:45 each day. I have recently started putting my NAS to sleep, unless disk activity is detected, from 22:00 to 07:00 each day. My recordings are held on a NAS NFS share but all the rest of my my NPVR setup, including the database, is held on the RPI4 local micro SD card I use to run NPVR and this does not sleep.
It seems a bit of a coincidence that the NAS recordings share might be asleep when this problem starts to occur but should it be being used during a guide refresh from SD ? I would expect the PI to be able to refresh its guide / database when the NAS share is asleep. I could see it as a problem when recordings are due but the share would have been available well before Coronation St should have started recording and it doesn't account for the continued 'Pending' state of these recordings. The NAS share would NOT have been asleep when the previous recordings failed to start, and subsequently ended up in a 'Pending' state, last Friday (from 13:45 to 20:00) and which first alerted me to something being not right but which I haven't had time to investigate until just now.
I have attached the logs so you can see what appears to be happening.
Thanks as always for any help or advice you can provide, hopefully this ins't soemthing of my own making.
Where can I adjust the quality of a desired recording/schedule? I see there is a possible option in the JSON, but don't see any GUI element that would let me modify it.
Please add tooltips everywhere for channel name listings. Below example, one of these is currently marked as "offline" by my IPTV provider by appending an asterisk to the channel name. No clue which unless I go to the channel list in another admin page, and match the channel number.
I'd love to be able to set a specific channel when setting up a recording. Too many times there are SD channels with the same content or other problems, for example I have multiple east/west and "2", "3", "4" variations in my lineup, but I know only one of them is aligned correctly with the EPG data. So I want to force on that channel.
Also, the channel name/number is not shown anywhere on the recording info or on the detailed pop-up when you select an entry from the Guide. I literally don't know which of four HGTV channels these are, for example -- and the columns aren't resizable, and don't contain tooltips:
I'd love a way to search the TV guide listing by channel. Look at my mock-up, just a way to type a partial channel name and only show those matches in the actual listing.
I am getting this repeatedly, I think it's trying to fetch stuff from Schedules Direct. But I don't have an account, I use my IPTV providers EPG. The username field is blank (shows "SD Username" as placeholder input only).
My full IPTV m3u has like 30k URLs and over 100 groupings.
I need a few channels from a few groups only, like less than 50 channels total.
I am used to creating a custom channel group in tvh for this -- one for me, one for my wife -- so we only see what we want.
When I went to nvr settings -> channels -> + to create new group 'Mike' and then I tried to put some channels into it -- but it doesn't submit my changes. When I leave and come back, the channels are no longer in the group.
Also, it appears the Android client flat out crashes when there is an empty channel group. It was working fine, and my only change was creating the 'Mike' group above. Now the Android client crashes, you can tell it is hanging on the Channel Group selection.

wow, the bbcode for "code" is broken it seems, throwing a lot of broken html/bbcode. I'll just plain-text post:
I want to switch from TVH to NextPVR. I love the simplicity and the "it just works" philosophy, although I do miss some of the power user settings I get in tvh.
Anyway, I have one HUGE gripe that is preventing me from switching. The wife factor!!
She needs to be able to open the app, click the guide, and then Chromecast. With TVH, there was a client called tvhclient by Robert that had Chromecast built-in. However, this is not needed.
What is needed is super simple... please let us choose a default player! In my case, I would chose VLC for her on Android, and then she'll get the Chromecast icon right there even if the stream needs converting - VLC will do it seamlessly.
How hard would it be to do this please? I would love it if you could send me a test APK. I have a four Chromecasts in my house, three Android devices that would have the client, and a huge library of videos and IPTV streams to test against.
