Is there a way to change the location of the NPVR-data folder for NPVR 5? I am running out of room on my system hard drive and would like to move as much as possible to my other hard drive on my laptop.
In v5, how would I go about merging a single channel (not auto merging all channels)? In v4, I was able select 2 or more channels (from multiple sources) and merge them using a specific name and epg source. In v5, all I see is auto merge. Also, How would I go about and un-merge a merged channel?
In my area it seems that channels are appearing & disappearing on a regular basis (weekly) with all the channel repacking going on. This presents quite a book keeping effort since I have cable (HDHomerun Prime) and two different OTA tuners attached to two different antenna systems. Sometimes a channel will appear on the Prime and both OTA tuners devices, where I may only want to merge a Channel on the Prime with only one of the tuners (the one with the stronger signal).
we have a generic tickbox to "Avoid Duplicate Recordings Where Possible" in v5 settings however there are conditions where I would want to record duplicates, and other times where it's not wanted.
TV Shows - often many repeats and I have to manually remove the -0, -1, -2, -n files, so want to NOT keep duplicates
Movies - typically 1 or 2 repeats, usually differing bit rates based on time of day with DVB-C, so want to keep ALL duplicates until I put them in the DNR database table once cut and processed
Can you entertain an option to set duplicate recording avoidance in the advanced search mask? This would let me record duplicates for movies where I might have dropouts in the datastream, and ignore duplicates on tv shows where I am not as critical of the retention value.
is VOD supported with IPTV? the files are predominantly .mkv files, and although none are present now, i have seen in the past some of the VOD urls providing .avi files. i am using latest v5 version in a docker on a CoreELEC device.
live TV is working fine, and my VOD channels / groups show up in Kodi but when i try to play them i get 'failed to connect to recording device' in Kodi and npvr logs, and they seem to suggest npvr is only looking for a TS stream, and does not recognize .mkv files / pass them through to kodi to decode and play.
i can play the content using simple.iptv client in Kodi and on my PC with VLC so i know it is available.
error from logs below, full logs zipped and attached if it will help..
If I record a new show, I can see it in Pending, like I can see Planned recording
but I cannot see the same list for existing recorded shows . The desktop is fine with the list of recorded shows
I'm killing myself here trying to manage Windows batch processing of the completed recordings, and I'm using a lot of code with enabledelayedexpansion.
totally blow up because delayed expansion creates this string instead
"H:\Recordings\Natürlich Blond (2001).ts"
Is there any easy way to have NPVR remove some special characters from the filenames before recording starts? Maybe a platform-independent replacement file so people can tune filenames as needed?
Does anyone know what has happened with Schedules Direct? In the past when any of my local stations changed or added channels, I would log in and send them the change information. The correction would happen in just a few days. The last "correction" never happened. Now I have three channels that are not correct. Any ideas?
