I just discovered NextPVR and I'm impressed but unfortunately I can't make it work properly with my DVB-T device.
I have an Ubuntu Box 18.04.4 and the following usb dongle :
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 048d:9006 Integrated Technology Express, Inc. IT9135 BDA Afatech DVB-T HDTV Dongle
Install went smoothly and I cand find all channels I need, however everything stop working after a couple of mins which make it unusable.
I can see live channels from dvb-t but after switching 4-5 channels the device get stuck with either :
- Starting Device wait
- Receiving data
Same thing happens with web browser or Kodi plugin, no matter the channel.
If I restart the computer everything works fine for another five minutes :-)
I tried also the docker version but I have exactly the same behavior.
Not sure if it's some compatibility issue with my usb dongle or something else.
Before Nextpvr I had no problem with mythtv or dvblink.
Is there anything I can do to make it work?
Logs are not very useful.
After comparing a SageTV recording to a NextPVR recording of the same program, with the same source, on the same device (colossus 2) I'm noticing two wildly different bitrates
SageTV: Data Rate: 12358 kbps
Total Bitrate: 12550 kbps
NextPVR: Data Rate: 4380 kbps
Total Bitrate: 4572 kbps
NextPVR recording also just doesn't seem as shape, is there a way to correct this?
Ciao, sto iniziando a testare v.5 e dichiaro che sono in IT e la lingua EN-US non è perfettamente familiare a me, quindi ho anche alcune difficoltà a capire alcune spiegazioni dai post esistenti.
Stavo cercando di usare v.4 e ho postato alcuni problemi. @Mvallevand aveva risposto invitandomi a installare v.5. L'ho fatto, ma non riesco nemmeno a eseguire l'impostazione.
Il problema attuale:
- Ho installato v.5 senza disinstallare v.4 (ho verificato che le due versioni sono state installate automaticamente in due cartelle diverse (v.4 era in Programmi (x86) , NPVR e v.5 è in Programmi , NextPVR ) .
- l'esecuzione di NextPVR.exe da NextPVR- client questo avviso viene visualizzato temporaneamente: "Troppi reindirizzamenti automatici sono stati tentati" (???)
poi in esecuzione Impostazioni, tutto sembra OK, ma andando a dispositivi e canali va a web a http://localhost:8866/settings.html ottenere un errore del Server (vedi allegato). Idem cliccato su http://localhost:8866/settings.html.
Come va?
PS: Coglio l'occasione per segnalare anche che il file data-tuning-DVB-T-Italy - Liguria - Genova.ini è assolutamente errato (era anche in v.4) e, se interessato, posso indicare le giuste frequenze .[attachment=1261]
Was just doing some screen grabs for Graham for setting up a colossus for the wiki and I noticed a weird glitch.
Hopefully the marked screens below explain graphically what I am seeing when I open the Devices screen, then navigate around in it.
The xml output of NScriptHelper is not working for me for batch files, so I thought I'd write my own helper (in Python) for the few commands I need. I've got it working, initiate a session, login (thanks to Martins example). However I'm confused as to what format the startTime field is in so I can convert it to a printable date.
Currently NextPVR names files of recordings without season/episode data as such "title_yyyymmdd_xxxxyyyy.ts." Plex does not recognize these files and if you would just change the date format to comply to Plex standards as below, or make it an option, that would be a BIG help.
The date can use either the YYYY-MM-DD or DD-MM-YYYY formats and can use different separators:
i currently have the latest V4 installed (actually i have it installed side by side with 5, so i can send a full channel list to some TV's in my house and a list with just kids channels to the TV's my kids in bedrooms)
i am using Kodi on CoreELEC as front end.
I have two providers for ITPV. i manage the m3u through online m3u-editor that syncs with my providers daily and allows me to merge the lists from both providers, make custom groups, arrange group and channel order, set custom Logos, and map EPG, and I then get my fixed up combined m3u from m3u-Editors configurable url.
I cant seem to get this to work in nextPVR when accessing from Kodi. When i import the m3u, it numbers the channels that appear first in the m3u starting at number 1 ascending, then when it gets to the first line in the m3u that is from my second provider, that has a different streaming location, instead of numbering the channel incrementally 1 higher than the previous channel from my first provider in m3u, it starts again at 1. All looks OK apart from that on the PC and all channels work in the client app on my PC, but the Kodi plugin will not load any channels with the below error (repeating many times for all channels / groups)
ERROR: cb_transfer_channel_group_member: Cannot find group 'IPT USA Movie Networks' or channel '28010'
If i separate out the providers with a url for each in m3u-editor, both work fine on their own and load in Kodi, but never when both are loaded at the same time, regardless to weather i load as a url with both providers combined, or are separate url for each provider doing two imports on my device, or as a combined m3u on my PC or two separate m3u from my PC. i am able to load the combined m3u from both file and url without issue in simple IPTV client, and it also loads in V5, but V5 re-sorts my group order alphabetically rather than the order i configured in m3u, with no option i can see to alter group order from alphabetical, and V5 only downloads a handful of the channel icons, .vs all channel logos downloaded in V4.
i managed to get a bit of a workaround by exporting the channels after import to xml, then deleting the device, setting up a new device and importing from xml rather than m3u, or url providing m3u. this worked and all the channels loaded in Kodi from both providers at the same time, but i lost all my groups, and as soon as i placed channels in to groups with nextpvr.exe, kodi failed to load again with the same error about not being able to find group or channel.
has anyone faced similar issue before? is there something i can do to get past it?
Does it means that record features while watching channel is not yet implemented on this version ? Or do I have to upgrade to last Kodi version ?
By the way, Npvr plugin ion Kodi side is up todate
I noticed this feature is anot available from Npvr web app.
Over the past week or so I've had a couple comments on various threads I started saying that it'd be welcome if I "contributed to the wiki," but it's not super clear which wiki I should contribute to, and it's not super easy to make the commits.
First, which wiki do you want contributions to? There's the one on sub's github repo, https://github.com/sub3/NextPVR/wiki, and there's https://nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php . Do ... do you want to maintain 2 wiki's for the same project? That sounds awful :-p. Yes, I'm offering my help here to consolidate the two.
Second, can you clean up your header links? On forums.nextpvr.com the Header link to "Wiki" points to https://github.com/sub3/NextPVR/wiki, but if you've somehow found yourself on https://nextpvr.com/nwiki/pmwiki.php, the header link to "Wiki" points to http://nextpvr.com/v4wiki/pmwiki.php, which is a broken link. Yes I'm offering help with that too, though I suspect you wouldn't want to give me the kind of access that'd require.
And last ... on https://github.com/sub3/NextPVR you say "create a github account, then PM me on the NextPVR forums (my account name is 'sub') , letting me know your github account name. I'll then add you to the list of collaborators with access to this repository." Ok, I can do that -- I would be more comfortable, at least initially, forking your repo and making pull requests, so you can look over my changes and approve/reject them ... maybe after a couple of submits that way I would feel like I deserved a place as a "contributor" on your repo. I suspect that I'm not the only one who has felt this way, and this has blocked more than one person from making a "small" change to the wiki. It's intimidating to have to PM sub for a 2-line wording change!
