hi

i would like to have the production year visible in the recording popup.

is sthere a complete list of parameters/variables that can be used in the skin files? (so i can "code" it myself)

also is it possible to combine parameters/variables into one text field?



in hope of getting what i want

I've been using Emby as my DVR for the last year and I want to try the new version of NextPVR. (To be clear, I'm not wanting to use NextPVR in conjunction with Emby at this time.)
I have many shows recorded that I'd like to add to the NextPVR database.

I've looked around the forum and the Internet and I see vidimport.exe mentioned. I gave that a try but received the following error:
Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at videoImport.Program.Main(String[] args)

It seems like vidimport.exe should do what I need. Is it still the preferred solution?

Alternatively...
Emby has .nfo files associated with each .ts file. These .nfo files contain a bunch of metadata associated with each show. I suppose it's feasible to traverse my recordings directory and extract the relevant data for each tv show and compile the import file that NextPVR needs to add the shows to the database. Any thoughts on what programming method would be optimal in doing something like this?

Thanks, everyone!

I just updated to v5 today and everything setup fine, looks like a nice program. Problem is I only get 7 days of guide data using Schedules Direct. I had the full 14 days with v4. Is there a settings somewhere?

Now I have NextPVR V5 running correctly on my NextPVR server I am looking again at testing my SAT>IP tuner with my V5 test server after a Windows reinstall and the latest NextPVR version. The main problem is that the channel scan does not like missing or dead transponders and stops detecting channels after searching one. Using the 28.2.ini it finds 12 channels on the first transponder then nothing on the 108 other transponders in the file. 

Around half the transponders are encrypted so several years ago I created a 28.2-FTA.ini with only 49 transponders that are used for Freesat/Free to Air transmissions. Scanning with this ini file it finds over 200 channels but finds no channels after 11597 MHZ V.

Missing from my ini file are the 2nd and 3rd  transponders in the 28.2.ini as they are no longer used so the scan now does not lock up after the 1st transponder. The reason the scan stopped at 11597 MHZ is because the next frequency 11611 Mhz is an another unused transponder. I have removed several more transponders from my 28.2-FTA.ini file so I am down to 44 transponders. A full channel scan with this file now seems to find the expected channels.

Any Ideas??

Also on a side not Im running on an AMD R7 GPU is there a way to use AMD for GPU decoder rather than DX11?

Thanks

Hi, new to this forum.
Had WMC, having to move now so am trying NextPVR. Installed v5 ok on my older Win 8.1 Pro machine but none of my TBS tuners are detected. Eventually decided to uninstall and install v4 and it immediately detects all tuners and so far appears to work fine. There is obviously some issue in v5 that will not detect TBS6285 and TBS 6982 cards. Have done quick search on forums for 'tuner not detected' but get nothing back. Is there a known issue here or have I missed a step. I am assuming v5 will be the more advanced version so would be nice to get that running but I cannot get past the basic install at the moment. Any thoughts greatly appreciated!!

Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or supposed to be like this.
In devices, if I disable one of the IPTV entries, those channels still appear in the TV Guide.
Even if I clear the EPG and Re-Import, they are still there.
The only way is to delete the relevant IPTV stream from the devices list.

Is it supposed to be like that?
Is there a possibility we could hide disabled stream in the TV Guide (even if it's a selectable option in settings).

Happy to provide screengrabs/etc if required.

it would be very nice, if you could say

recoed "blah" on any time, any channel, episode once BUT only if channel is in group "grp"

I noticed this today, because all of my channels have names like "KCDODT7" and "KCNCDT2" and I wanted to change them to be human readable (e.g. KUSADT -> NBC [KUSADT]).

I changed the name under Settings -> Channels, and the channel was there in the TV Guide with all guide data, and the right name, but the icon was the one for a broken image link. Changing the channel name back restored the icon; checking the URL of the image showed it to be the same regardless of the name of the Channel (e.g. http://127.0.0.1/services/service?method...el_id=7159 ).

I built kodi-pvr/pvr.nextpvr and it shows the guide and changes channels as expected. 

When I'm watching LiveTV, the only playback controls are Stop and Record -- I would expect Pause, Rewind/Skip-bacwards and Forward/Skip-forwards. 

Do I need to do something special to get these to appear?
