I am running NextPVR Version: 7.0.2.250621
Silicon Dust HDHomerun HDHR3-US  (dual channel ATSC 1.0)

There is one channel that I cannot seem to get on my HDHomeRun, that my TVs seem to have no problem with.

I updated NextPVR and reloaded HDHomeRun firmware, rescanned channels and still can't get one channel that my TVs (including a 15 year old TV can easily receive.  It does not show up at all on channel scan.

The channel is "MATRIX Midwest"   "MyN"  Virtual: 32.1  Actual:24
My zipcode is 63122

I'm at a loss.  Any suggestions or help appreciated.

Been running NextPVR on a Dell Optiplex 990 for a long time.  It runs Windows 10 and cannot run 11.  Moved to new computers for my wife and I on Windows 11, and now considering getting a mini computer for the next home theater box.  When I say "home theatre", I mean watching OTA programs, streaming, and playing DVDs (library loans them for free).  I do NOT mean gaming, have zero interest.  

Any good discussion on here about the pros or cons, the specific configuration needed / desired?  Or a good source for that info?  My preliminary research indicates that a very basic mini PC can fill my needs.  

Thanks!

I was considering switching my old Windows 10 computer to some form of Linux.  I have since decided to not do that, and instead I'm probably moving to a mini-PC with Windows 11 on it.  Still researching that.

In advance of doing that, I'm wondering if there is a tutorial specifying the EXACT steps to move a NextPVR installation from one Windows box to another, so that everyone continues to work in the same way.  To be clear, I'm looking for more than "copy the ____".   For example, in the past when I had an issue, I might have been told to copy the XXX.XXX file.  I did that, and no change.  Then I was asked "did you also copy it to this subdirectory"?  Answer - no, because I didn't know to do that.

I did this many years ago when I setup a NextPVR box at a summer cottage, but that was many years ago and many versions ago.  

I know I will need to setup my HD HomeRun devics on the new computer (I have 4, using 2 of them on my current setup, so I'm probably going to use the 2 new ones on the new computer and then swap the entire installation out).  I did recently have an issue where Martin helped with my discovery of NextPVR looking for a no longer in place HD HomeRun box, so I'm assuming that will be easy to figure out now.

So, is there a step by step process to move NextPVR from one Windows computer to another?  Specifically, moving the programs setup to record, and the existing recordings, top the list, but having the same features and defaults selected would also be important.  I have not yet upgraded to the latest version, but probably would do that in the process.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

It would be great to have some control over when the OSD is displayed. The current implementation shows the OSD when watching recordings or live TV in the following cases:
1. When video playback is paused.
2. On resume from pause.
3. When selecting fast forward or back.
4. When selecting the Info button on a remote, as bound with Ctrl-B.

There are five parameters within the existing config.xml which appear to relate to the OSD but only one of them has any noticeable effect, so maybe they are deprecated.

I would suggest having options to control the four points as above by defining a duration in milliseconds of how long to display the OSD with zero being do not show.

Thanks

Just a suggestion rather than a wish...

It would be nice if the Export Recordings used an env variable for the recordings directory / filename path rather than absolute file path. It's not something people use regularly and a lot of users probably never export/import recordings. It would save editing the xml file if the recordings dir is different.

Cheers,
Brian

With the help of Copilot I created a python web page to show Ready and Pending Recordings. Is there any way to incorporate something similar? I record a lot of shows especially in the Fall and Winter months and like to see the weeks recordings in a Calendar view.

I've attached a screenshot of the Calendar view I created.

I know your developement time is limited these days. But it would be a nice add if you can find the time.

Thank you for your consideration.

Hi All, I am trying NextPVR again since the integration with Kodi is much better than Channels DVR (although I am still using some of the Channels DVR sources as a source in NextPVR - as well as the guide)

In the NextPVR web interface, all the series icons are correct, but in Kodi, they are completely wrong, I have tried re-downloading guide data in both Kodi and NextPVR, but nothing changes.  

Also, the channel Icons are wrong on both Kodi and NextPVR.

Any ideas, or is this a known issue?  Any help is appreciated!

EDIT: Looking at this further, the show icons seem to be showing up as the Channel icons (but they are also wrong)

Hello,

I posted this on an old thread and didn't get a response. So I created a new post. Just wanted to check if this is a possibility.

Is there anyway to get one last update for the Apple TV app? Currently when the apple TV is set to auto (Best Available) the sound is on only 2 channel stereo. If I set the Apple TV to 5.1 audio then it plays in 5.1 surround. I like to keep apple TV sound settings to Auto (Best Available). Also, when watching in-progress recordings and skipping back/forward sometimes glitches and just keeps repeating the same scene.

I know developement has stopped due to time constraints. But wanted to ask if it was possible to get one more update that may address the above issues.

Thank you for the consideration.

Is there a setting that disables auto-skipping commercials when Comskip is integrated with NPVR? The default seek feature works so nicely that I just might skip on the comskip, no pun intended. I'd still like to have it as an option though, if anything just to have a visual map of where the commercials are.

Not a big deal, but just wondering if it's an option.

I'm looking to remove the OSD when pause is pressed and again when its resumed and see that there are no regular options to achieve this but there are some parameters relating to it in config.xml. I would like the Info button, as bound with Ctrl-B, to still give the OSD though.

I've tried setting OSDTimeoutInfoOnPause to zero and this removes the OSD when pause is entered but I still get the OSD when its resumed. Changing the other parameters one at a time by setting to zero doesn't seem to make any difference although with one of them set zero it resulted in the Info button not giving the OSD although I'm not sure which as I couldn't replicate it.

The parameters are:
    <OSDTimeoutInfo>4000</OSDTimeoutInfo>
    <OSDTimeoutInfoOnPause>0</OSDTimeoutInfoOnPause>
    <OSDTimeoutStatus>4000</OSDTimeoutStatus>
    <OSDTimeoutTimeline>4000</OSDTimeoutTimeline>
    <OSDMouseControls>4000</OSDMouseControls>

How can I control when the OSD appears?

Its using NPVR v7.0.2.25062, LAVFilters-0.80, and most recent video drivers.
