Is this were we report bugs? I set pre and post padding to 0 but everything still has one minute padding on each end.

I haven't noticed this until now, although I wondered why NextPVR wasn't waiting anymore to post process my recording until after midnight, which is some logic in my script.

Here are two samples from my Postprocessing logging file in February. I am in Auckland NZ by the way:

21/02/2020 17:50:00 - 5082 - Recording started on /recordings/1 News At 6pm/1 News At 6pm_20200221_18001900.ts recorded channel 1 on tuner 23

The above is correct, I have 10 minutes of pre-padding and the recording started at 17:50 and the filename for the news shows that it starts at 18:00 and ends at 19:00.

Since the 22nd of February, which I am thinking I must have updated NextPVR, (maybe to 5.0.1.200209?)

22/02/2020 04:50:01 - 5128 - Recording started on /recordings/1 News At 6pm/1 News At 6pm_20200222_05000600.ts recorded channel 1 on tuner 21

The recording is at the same time of day (18:00), but it is logged as starting at 04:50 and the filename is even showing that the news starts at 05:00 and ends at 06:00.

To me it looks like the timestamps and filenaming has gone from NZ daylight savings time to Greenwich mean time?

Note: I am having trouble attaching the logs, in which the upload has been taking a long time (several minutes). Once it gets to 100% then the browser complains that: NextPVR Forums
There has been an error due to your post data being empty. This could be due to a browser page refresh or direct access to this page. We recommend you press the browser back button and begin again. 

I have tried a few times but to no avail.  If I clear the log attachment, then I can post.

So the other post about IP camera got me to playing around and I found the wiki on extras.  Between the two and your ffmpeg code, I muddled my way thru and got it sorta working in linux with my crappy little COOAU 720P camera.

The problem is it displays video for about 10-15 seconds, the screen flashes black and then the image goes static, no more live video.  If it matters, this is viewing it as a livetv channel in Kodi.  The url "rtsp://[username]:[password]@192.168.1.181:554/11" plays fine in VLC.  Watching the process in htop between the 2 doesn't seem to vary so I'm thinking it probably has something to do with the ffmpeg arguments.

Google has failed me so far so I'm hoping you can shed some light on where I might be going wrong or point me in the right direction?

Hello,

i used an ealier Version 5 without problems.

Now with the newest version, i have a problem with the EPG.

I saw, that some channels have no EPG listing. So i went into the settings and started an EPG update. It takes few settings, then the message occurs, that the EPG update is finished, with no changes (0 insterted, etc.)

I clearded the EPG and started the update again. No change.

I restarted the PC, and then the update worked.

Today i have the same problem again. On some channels the EPG is missing, even though it should have been in the cache from yesterday. But it is empty.

Same behavior again. Not updating. 

I attached the logs (i had to delete files from the zip, because it was to big to attach is completly, i deleted older logs). I think it has something to do with entering standby. So that after the system was in standby, the update does not work anymore. But thats only guessed.

Hi all,

due to being home more this last couple of weeks.... I've finally got to look at a few issues with video/recordings playback on nextpvr (4.2.4).

The main one is a delay of around 17-18 seconds for the video to display when i play a recording, audio starts very quickly.

This is on a client machine, however i have tried to play a local file with similar results.

In the log on the client machine it shows the same delay between "setaspectratio@3.6.1" and the next line , every time i play a video or recording.

I have attached a capture of this for simplicity, but can upload the logs if necessary .

cheers
james

Hi all,

I have a strange problem. I am using NextPVR v5 in combination with Kodi. When I have more than approximately 700 channels the channel icons don't appear in Kodi anymore. When I reduce the amount of channels to approximately below 700 the channel icons reappear in Kodi.

I first thought the problem was on the Kodi side but after some more investigation I have figured out that the problem is actually on the NextPVR side.

I figured that out using the below link.
http://127.0.0.1:8866/service?method=channel.list

When there are less than 700 channels the link gives the XML code of one channel looking like this:
<channel> <id>66610</id> <name>|NL| NPO 1 HD</name> <number>3</number> <minor>0</minor> <formatted-number>3</formatted-number> <type>0x1</type>
<details>http://line.hi-ott.net:80/Mehra/VXBYpvSct1fPs8c/740 </details>
<icon>true</icon> </channel>


When I have more than 700 channels the link gives the XML code for the same channel looking like this:
<channel> <id>66610</id> <name>|NL| NPO 1 HD</name> <number>3</number> <minor>0</minor> <formatted-number>3</formatted-number> <type>0x1</type>
<details>http://line.hi-ott.net:80/Mehra/VXBYpvSct1fPs8c/740 </details>
</channel>

The icon tag is suddenly missing! That explains why the icon doesn't display anymore in Kodi.

Now I would love to have an explanation why the icon tag suddenly disappears when I have more than 700 channels.

Hopefully someone will be able to solve this mystery. I have included my log files.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Rohin Mehra

Sub,
Did you get round to adding the horizontal option for the Menu display (or have I missed it)?
Could only see a setting for "slideout" in the Config file.
Ray.

Tried carrying out a 'Empty EPG' command. No idea if it worked (forgot to just go look in the guide), but perhaps a 'Guide Emptied' message would be nice.

When I click on an empty iptv device I have and tell it too import channels, it says 'm3u url (required)' and 'xml url (optional)'. I presume the xml thing is where the guide link goes. Maybe a bit more help text ?

Under Devices, maybe the text at the top could be spread about a bit more, am always forgetting that 'press ctrl for more options' thing.


Sorry, think there might be a feature requests thing this might be better in...

I have NextPVR Version: 5.0.2.200322 installed on Linux. When I click on Recordings from the web browser, then click on a recording picture, clicking on the Back button in the upper left corner of the web page does not go back. Hitting back on the browser works. I am having this issue when using a Mac connected through the browser. This does not happen with FireFox.

MacOS Mojave
Version: 10.14.6
Safari Version: 13.1 (14609.1.20.111.9)

Thank you,

Mike
