Hi, I have an old HDHomeRun and a well-spec'ed Windows box. When I view TV on using HDHomeRun's app it is just fine. When I view it or record it in NextPVR it is choppy as. Australia so mostly MPEG-2 and 4. I have tried lots of things. Any Ideas?
I want to change my EPG source and I looked at the Wiki, I'm not the best at the github one because I seem to never be able to search, I went through the EPG stuff and the auto map and it's not picking up much. I have a bunch of channels it didn't move over to the new source using both methods.
What's the best or easiest way I can do this?
I'd like scheduled recordings to still work, especially since one of my channels has been bought and sold a few times and has decided to start showing lots of older shows.

my 'Live TV Buffer Directory' directory got deleted by mistake and when i clicked to what live tv, I get an error saying 'no tuner was available for the requested channel'.
It might make sense to re-create the directory if it doesn't exist or at least show relevant error to help with fixing it manually.
Ability to create xml tv guide file from npvr.db3 database.
This would be used to acquire local channels from your devices via antenna and then convert to xml file that would be manipulated and merged with other xml files. For me the end result would be used in Kodi.
If the Subtitle length in the EPG is longer than a certain length, the subtitle doesn't get word wrapped and heads off beyond the box area.
This happens on multiple screens which would show the subtitle.
I'm trying to access my server from my pixel phone over cellular data but can't connect. I hopefully changed the pin but there is no save button so I'm not sure.
I'm still in testing phase and most recordings I've made playback fine. Some give a few seconds of audio/video then I get a popup ERROR_CODE_RECORDING_FAILED
It seems to be recordings from some channels but recordings from other channels don't do this.
I've included logs - the show which is failing is called Outrageous and channel is U&Drama which is on a different multiplex to the shows/channels that are working.
Cheers,
Brian
PS - Outrageous has recorded fine and plays OK connected to localhost in my browser.
This will be a longer thread, especially till i find out how to attach log files
I try to connect the Elgato Netstream Sat4 tuner. Its a quad tuner with Sat>IP protocol with no configuration possibilities on the tuner side (in stock mode).
It would be a dream to replace the crappy EyeTV4 sw with NextPVR.
I have this tuner running with some ffmpeg tasks since long time. Strangely those stopped working some months ago and a further inspection did bring up some changes on the ffmpeg side. I still dont know if i did upgrade ffmpeg or if my memos were wrong but it needed some adaption:
In my old shellscripts i did capture the stream with:
It did not work anymore, further investigation showed that the ffmpeg suite did this:

It didnt call SETUP
I found out ffmpeg (at least the newer versions!?) need another url to get Sat>IP to work, instead of rtsp:// you need satip:// to make it work.
So this works:
Code:
./ffprobe -i "satip://192.168.2.29/?src=1&freq=11347&pol=v&ro=0.35&msys=dvbs2&mtype=8psk&plts=on&sr=22000&fec=23&pids=0,17,18,6500,6510,6520,6530"
