Hi, I am a long time user of TVHeadend, using DVB-C card in the UK, Live TV, BBCiPlayer and Youtube add-ons. I would like to use V.5 if possible but have some questions.

1. Is there a BBC iPlayer add on, and does it work well?
2. Is there a Youtube add on, and does it work well?
3. I would like to manually edit the tuning files, to add my own, I read there are .ini files somewhere, where are they located on Linux?
4. anyone know of a good Softcam guide?

Kind regards.

Hi,

I have noticed a strange Kodi Timeshift behavior lately. After I have paused TV for some time and I come back and press play again, it momentarily goes back to a previous time to play and then it again switches back to where I was to continue watching...

I can't tell from the logs which is the pointer requested every time so can you possibly take a look and see if you see something peculiar in there?

Logs that have the timeframe when this happened should be in nrecord.log.3 file.

Thanks and regards

What do you use to clean your remotes?  I've always just wiped them down with a damp rag, until now....

My wife is a pretty major germaphobe and she just got over a rare cold.  Now with COVID-19 she's thinking about asking her mom to move in with us (out of the senior living apt. that has now started visitor restrictions).

So she wants to clean everything.  EVERYTHING.  Not that this is a bad thing, but she was going to use a vinegar and isopropyl alcohol concoction to clean the cordless phones and remotes.  I think the vinegar would be a bad idea, and I am wondering how fragile the decals on the remote (above the buttons) and the text/symbols on the buttons might be to a solvent like isopropyl alcohol.

Anyway, I thought I'd see if other had experience with regular disinfecting and the durability of labels on remotes.

Thanks,

ps.  This doesn't seem too bad, especially if you can minimize the amount of dampness of the alcohol/water mix the remote see, as described - ?

I have v5.0.1 installed on a test system running on Mint Mate v19.3 x64.  I have to say you guys did an incredible job making this easy to setup!!!

After installing I launched Firefox and logged in.  I was surprised that NextPVR had automatically found my HDHR tuners on Ethernet (cool!), I plugged in my Schedules Direct info, scanned for channels, did an EPG update and BOOM!  It looks pretty functional.

However, when I tried to test-watch a show from the EPG Guide, it queues for a few seconds with an increasing number (bytes?), then replaces that with red text "Browser blocked video playback" at the bottom of the playback window, which remains black but the timeline progress continues to count up. 

The default browser in Mint v19.3 is Firefox (v71.0).

I installed Chromium, connected to the server, playback works fine there, so seems like a FF setting.  Any ideas?

Logs attached (if that helps).

Thanks!

For those that don't know, many TV channels are changing frequencies.  https://antennaweb.org/repack

In my area, two channels changed last Friday, March 6th, and a few more changed this Friday, March 13th.

I simply rescanned channels on my HD Homerun Devices.  Then I went into NextPVR and typed in the new frequency for the few channels that changed.  Quite simply, if something moved from 44.1 to 25.1, it was an easy change.

How do you know if they changed frequency?  Try to watch a channel...  

is there a way to change the icon of a channel?
if not it will be great to do it on this panel

I can't reading Thai characters in EPG display. I try it on webview and kodi, both of them are in unreading text. How can i fix it.

Hi 
I'm using nextpvr to get uk freeview dvb-t and collecting ota epg data.
Most genres are correct but all TV dramas are appearing as "Adult Movie / drama".

I would like to map these all to a more appropriate genre (to stop everything looking like pron in the guide).
Is there anyway to edit this my end?
I've seen the "xbmc-genre-translation.xml" file in the npvr public user directory - does npvr read and use this?


Thanks

Hello, 

Something strange has happened with a recurring (keyword) recording that I have scheduled.
recording was done, transcoded, and my postprocessing.bat was executed to move the whole directory including this recording to another drive succesfully.
Also npvr.db3 update command was updated with new filename based on OID provided to the batchprocessing.bat (%3 parameter), using the below command (which was tested working in the past):

call "C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\sqlite3.exe" "C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\npvr.db3" "update `SCHEDULED_RECORDING` set `filename`='D:%~p1%~n1%~x1' where `oid`=%3;" ".exit" >> "C:\Users\Public\NPVR-data\logs\recordings.log"

However, filename field inside npvr.db3 was not updated and it still has the value: [Default]

I am wondering what may have happened (most likely %3 parameter was not correctly populated? but I was not echoing the parameter in the log, I have changed the .bat file now to echo the parameters as well to a log). If so, why?

Please note that this scheduled recording was a special one as the TV played two episodes at once, one after the other (the recording resulted 6GB file as I am also pre-padding and post-padding 1 hour).

From the filename and directory structure, I did not see any episode number created so could it be that %3 parameter was null? (and hence my SQL update failed to locate the record?)

Also, having the attached XML, I tried to change the drive letter and import it but it still was not imported. Any help to import it would be appreciated.

Thanks and regards
