Everything was working perfectly now suddenly I can't login to the web app, it just keeps saying "login failed".  I tried changing the user/password in the config.xml with the same result.

Kodi v18.6 on Nvidia Shield 2019
NextPVR Client 3.3.19
NextPVR Version: 5.0.4.200428 on Windows 10

For some time now (at least weeks, including when using the earlier 5.0.3 NextPVR) I've noticed that Kodi has been randomly dropping out of playing a recording while it is recording. Doesn't matter if I started recording 2 minutes vs 20 minutes ago, it may just suddenly return to the Kodi record menu. Typically it first happens about eight minutes after I start playing.

If I go back in, I'm usually given a "resume from" option, but sometimes it just starts again at the beginning.

It can sometimes recur - even several times - but doesn't always. If I happen to be towards the end of the recorded time (e.g. 2-3 minutes from the end), the problem seems to be more frequent, but I wouldn't say it's reliably related to that issue.

Usually it's while I'm watching something like a scheduled news recording, typically about 20 minutes behind live time. I will ordinarily be skipping commercials when they happen, thus slowly getting closer to the end of the still-accumulating recorded data as time goes on. There may be manual pauses as well as skips but it doesn't happen in association with them (e.g. immediately after one) and I've certainly seen it happen when there have been none such, i.e. just start playing it and it may happen eight or so minutes later.

I did some testing with logs on and have provided a log where I saw it happen roughly eight minutes into playing the Formula E - Race At Home program. I'd started playing it about eight minutes after it started recording, but the coincidence in times is just that I think.

Note that an earlier test of a "Army Wives" recording where I started playing about 20 minutes after recording started didn't show the problem.

I hope this provides enough info to go on, it's certainly happening often enough in my setup that it should be observable in similar conditions.  Thanks!

I still haven't figured out how to attach zipfiles on this forum "Browse and add attachment? What browse?" - so for the time being the logs will be at https://www.dropbox.com/s/oo9fav0w3smzy1...i.zip?dl=0

Hi Guys ( Great product btw) Recordings are perfect on every channel. But I do get the odd recordings that are full of artefacts. I'm starting to lean on the 4 port USB hub i have. I actually went from an older one that had a lot more recordings that had artefacts to the newer one ( still 5 years old ) that had a lot less.
I'm starting to think i should have two ISB hubs and spread the load maybe and have two usb tuners on each instaead of 4 on the one usb hub.
Here are some logs when recording friends.

Friends_20200509_19001930  - worked
Friends_20200509_19302000 - didn't had artefacts all through it when replayed on TV

Is there a way to do a manual channel add under Linux/Ubuntu? I found an old post on V4 about how to do it in Windows. Didn't seem to cross over...
Tnx

I would like to bring my Ubuntu 18.04 NextPVR back to original settings (or pert' near). There are channels (duplicate, maybe analog) sitting in the lists, and there are ATSC tuner devices that I tested that I am no longer planning to use with this implementation. I can't see an easy way to clear them out (especially the latter). No right-click on the web interface to get options I would expect would include "Delete". I could go all the way to uninstall/purge, but that seems extreme. 

NextPVR was working nicely until I started experimenting, and now it seems I can't get back to where it was a day or two ago, regardless of what I try. Quickest option seems to be a (relatively) clean start. 

Tnx

I am using latest version of NPVR with a dual TBS DVB-S2 card which has been running satisfactorily until I updated too .04. I am now seeing gaps appearing in the EPG and even after I manually run an EPG update some channels return but others become blank:


After running a manual update:


I have tried emptying the EPG and manually running it again which does usually fill the listings but they then start to disappear over time. I also get small square boxes at either end of some listings (see Film 4 'Maze runner' for aan example). Logs attached.

Thanks for any help.

i have a question about playing live tv channels.my Nextpvr loads perfect on osmc with kodi(RPi3).but my wife always turn the tv off with out clicking stop. so next time i turn the tv the screen is frozen and have to restart RPi3 to adquire the list again.There is anything i can do to make the live tv channels stop when the tv is turned off?
thanks

I presume it has to do with the latest release of NextPvr server, since there hadn't been an iOS upgrade in quite some time.  The iOS app no longer reports properly the Settings, "Click here to see current tuner activity" anymore, although via a browser app reports correctly.  The iOS app always reports idle even when actively recording. Not that long ago it worked fine.

I have a NextPVR/Kodi setup working well on an Ubuntu 18.04 system. I thought I'd try my luck on a "clean" Xubuntu 20.04 install. Not much luck so far with just NextPVR. NextPVR installs with no problem. I tried 2 USB ATSC interfaces (Pinnacle 800e and Kworld 435). Did appropriate firmware installs. Both are detected by NextPVR and both scan with 34 channels. Both can initially play liveTV. But...when I try to load Schedules Direct EPG, things go a bit haywire. The EPG load isn't like on my 18.04 system. There is a 60 second countdown the seems to stop at 1 second. On my other system, it shows channel information being loaded. No guide data appears in the web interface. Then the play liveTV stops working, stuck on the message "Starting Device" and eventually showing "Streaming Failed (transcoder exited)". Some of this is reflected in the nrecord.log files that I can include with the "standard" logs-....zip file(s) in subsequent posts. If I restart, NextPVR will kind of work (can again see liveTV) until I again attempt to load up the EPG (though I can keep liveTV going in some cases by having it open while loading EPG...but it eventually stops working). I'm at a loss trying to decipher the logs...can only make out snippets of useful info... 

Question is...am I jumping the gun trying to get this to work on 20.04?

I've installed NPVR v5 twice on my Linux laptop to check it out, but each time, I get stymied by a login screen.  I do a little searching here to see if I can find an initial user name and password, but I've never seen anything, but it hasn't been on the top of my list either.  Perhaps its been disclosed, but I haven't' seen it anywhere.  What is the initial user name and password?

Thanks
