Hello! I have a fairly straightforward setup that randomly (but regularly) drops a live stream with the following log message typically preceding the stream failure:

Quote:stream@2 got zero bytes

This happened the last time there was a new release, too.  I use IRSS to send Windows class messages to the client to control the application even when it doesn't have focus.  It seems like the new version no longer responds to those messages.  I believe there is some setting sub can turn on when he compiles the application.  I verified it is using the same class name as before and tried sending the message directly from the IRSS Translator program to make sure it wasn't my remote control that wasn't working.  I am using the released v7, not the prereleased version.

I'm Running Debian 12 server with NextPVR v7.0.0.241105.

My setup is with an IPTV provider in which I download the M3U and guide from them and store them in the /home/nextpvr folder. 
The EPG downloads 4 times a day and that process works great.

My M3U I would like to update once a week, mainly to update the channels for NFL games.

I've tried running this command in every way possible. With and without sudo, with one or both source_id and channel_id, or neither. I've tried specifiying a single channel_id.
In all case, none of the channels are removed.

/opt/dotnet/dotnet /opt/nextpvr/system/NScriptHelper.dll -pin:1234 -server:127.0.0.1:8866 -service:method=setting.channel.delete&source_id=26&channel_id=0

I do see the delete command in the logs, but there are no other errors or any indication that any deletes have taken place.

Removing 1 or all channels through the web interface works as expected.

Looking for any advice you may have.

Thanks!

Martin,
When I hit pause in Yauiclient, the OSD is up for 10 or more seconds.  Which is longer than I would prefer.
I have these settings in the NPVR config.xml:
    <OSDTimeoutInfo>4000</OSDTimeoutInfo>
    <OSDTimeoutInfoOnPause>4000</OSDTimeoutInfoOnPause>
    <OSDTimeoutStatus>4000</OSDTimeoutStatus>
    <OSDTimeoutTimeline>4000</OSDTimeoutTimeline>
    <OSDMouseControls>4000</OSDMouseControls>
Looks like I have a build from 9/11/24.

Moved to a new thread as requested.

I am experimenting with JellyFin as a replacement for Kodi as a front end. I have a Docker based JellyFin 10.10.3 server and use the Amazon Firestick JellyFin plugin as the front end client.  I have installed the NextPVR JellyFin plugin (v11) and can access my existing NextPVR v7 server for both live tv and recordings without any problems.  Moving on to testing setting up recordings I find this set up works for basic recordings but doesn't allow access to the more 'advanced' NextPVR recording options, for example recordings setup via JellyFin  have the following default settings:

Pre-Padding: set to zero
Post-Padding: set to zero
Directory: set to default
Keep: set to 1

In (native) NextPVR I would normally have:

Pre-Padding: set to 1
Post-Padding: set to 5
Directory: set to default but I have a number of additional directories (eg Films, Sports, TV, Events etc) that I can select if needed
Keep: set to All

Is there any chance any of these settings could be made selectable in the JellyFin NextPVR plugin ?  I am almost at the point of making a permanent move to this setup so if these changes were possible that could well be the deciding factor.

If this is not the right forum to ask such questions please let me know which is. I did check the JellyFin forums as well but couldn't find a suitable place there to ask about this.

Regards.

I had something come up with a new episode in Scheduler but when it went to record it this error happened
[Failed: No errors, but no data delivered. This is usually because the device failed to lock a signal.]

I have the sneaking suspicion that it was because it was (manually) set like a year ago to record on a disk that is now full. Is that likely?
I set it to record the series and then changed where it was to be recorded manually because the default disk at the time was filling up.

When the initial recording failed, it was pushed to a +1 copy of the channel to be recorded an hour later where the same error occurred. I have since then been able to record on a different channel.

Using the web interface, how do I add new channels the guide?  Simple setup with one Colossus 2 and Schedules Direct.  I know that I can reload all the channels and then pick what I want in the guide, but that seems like a bit too much work.  Am I missing something or is this the way you do it.  I searched here but did not find anything useful.

When looking at channels and choosing advanced tools-channel groups and I choose a specific group, could only those channels for that group that are checked show instead of a mix of checked and unchecked channels? Otherwise a group with a lot of channels requires a lot of scrolling to find the check marked channels to remove unwanted ones. When there are over 20000 channels finding ones specific to a group can be time consuming.

Hi.  I have a trusty 2nd gen I5 running Windows 10 on an old Asus PH877 motherboard.  Microsoft says this is done once Windows 11 comes along and I dont want to run unsupported OS.  Also the HDMI port on this way back in time.  The box is only used for Nextpvr and playing things like Netflix, Prime, Disney, Youtube etc. No gaming.

So my question is what is the minimum hardware requirement for a PC platform today for NextPVR and these streamers?  I was thinking it needs to run Windows 11, have an HDMI 2.1 port able to do 4kUHD at 30Hz and of course support at least 1 Hauppauge 2 tuner USB stick without hiccupping. I dont have any real preference for AMD or Intel CPU, though AMD seems to be getting less bad press recently.  

Any thoughts on where to start in configuring a new box would be appreciated.

I had my install working but I have been trying different iptv providers so I completely uninstalled and reinstalled and now http://localhost:8866/service=?method=channel.m3u grabs nothing. I tried with curl also. Unauthenticated access is enabled. It worked fine before the reinstall and as best I can tell, my settings are identical. I was able to successfully add an xtream link which pulled down channels and EPG data. http://localhost:8866/service=?method=channel.xmltv also doesn't work anymore. I also donated just recently. I'm not sure where else to look. I can provide logs also. Do I attach them here? I have version 7.0.0.241105 installed.   Version: Version: 7.0.0.241105   Version: 7.0.0.241105
