just a quick note
when 2 people watch the same channel its using 2 different stream instead of using the same one
to use only one stream in this scenario
thanks
On my Linux v5 setup I was attempting to change the priority of the devices and found that the bottom 2 devices were stuck at the bottom of the priority order. After looking at the db3 file with DB Browser for Linux I found that there were duplicate priorities listed.
I have seen this happen more that once but I don't know what I did to get it in this state. The last time it happened was on my Windows PC. I can correct this by using DB Browser and editing the priorities to make them all unique.
Hi all...I am currently a good way along with having a working Enigma2 plug in for NPVR5. For the time being it is pretty basic, but when an initial version is ready it will allow you to:
Get a channel List.
Get an EPG for those channels.
Pick channels from a bouquet.
Blast the box to replicate the remote control.
View the channel stream in NPVR, Kodi-NPVR or whatever using a command line encoding pipe (either cVLC or FFMPEG directly - not decided yet).
It's a couple of afternoon's work so far and is basically just some Python plugged into and streaming from the Engima2 box via http and Open Webif. To plug into NPVR you would then have to create a couple of additional config files and create an extra device in the NPVR server web session (Sub - can the steps that I laboured through painfully to get my last STB running in NPVR as an extra be automated any? Am happy to build that step if so).
Of course you can always just run then Enigma2 and NPVR backends in tandem in Kodi, but that introduces various issues, particularly around channel groups and numbering. By using an Engima plugin within NPVR, you can then set up all your channels and groups outside Kodi and just use a single PVR back end.
The Kodi Enigma2 plugin is a lot more customisable and advanced than what I have so far. If no one on here is interested, I will just go as far as I need to and leave it at that. However, I am looking for a hobby project to improve my C++ skills with, so could be tempted to put the effort in if enough people would find it useful.
Apologies for bothering you as the chances are that I am about to display my ignorance with computers... ( please be patient and take explanations slowly )
I have used Nextpvr on three computers for about a year. It has been amazingly successful and the setup guide helpful.
About two weeks ago three things happened;
We had major wind and rain.
Freeview on main TV needed retuning.
Windows 10 did yet another update.
At some point in that sequence Nextpvr stopped recording or displaying live TV. There is a black screen for both with no audio. At first this seemed to be on one machine but it is now affecting all three.
The aerial is in the loft. The cabling seems to be in good condition so I suspect the weather is not an issue.
The lounge has a three way splitter leading to a main TV which works fine ( signal strength 59- 61 ) and two computers with TV cards which I use as PVR. The TV card programmes still display live TV ( one is PCTV with signal strength 53, one is WinTV7 but I have not found how to check the signal yet ).
Removing cables and trying a single source rather than the splitter did not change the black screen on either machine.
We have tried retuning the channel list more than once, which did find more channels.
Recording results in a TS file of 0 size.
I previously used Microsoft DTV-DVD decoders but in case it was related to the Windows update I have tried to install LAV ( never too sure of my abilities ). They are now offered as an option on the Nextpvr decoders settings so I may have succeeded .
Hopefully I have managed to attach the logs from this computer ( which has the PCTV card ).
There is probably a very simple explanation or a step that I have missed but I would be very grateful if I could be pointed in the right direction as I am now tying myself in knots trying to think of what to try now.
I started using NextPVR about 2 months ago; initially with Kodi front-end but now on its own.
All went well until about a week ago when I started to find on the TV Guide that programs which should be scheduled to record were not showing as such. I then found that if I tried to create new schedules, only instructions to record a single instance were accepted.
Is it possible to read the following lines in the XMLTV file to flag shows in guide with a Finale tag? This is what's received from the Schedule Direct JSON file.
only got this a couple of days ago...generally very pleased and thanks...(had to finally move to WIN 10,so WMC no more)
All is fine , but a ccouple of comments more than anything, regarding the 'now and next' popup....(which I really like to use)
Every time I access it I can't get rid of it....until....trial and error and eventually found that pressing Esc did the trick....this is not to be found in the keyboard reference.
The only other way was to press enter on the channel I was currently watching (I only wanted to peek at what else was on) but if I do that then it takes the channel to 'Now' in time
whereas I was actually watching with considerable time shift (having paused earlier)
It would be really great if I could mouse click outside of the popup and it go away with no disruption to what I was watching
and/or there was a timeout on the popup (dare I say ....like WMC)
All in all though,just really glad I can still use the TV card , so thanks again
Hi just to let you know the auto-merge channels do not works will on version docker 5.0.1.200217
when you merge the feed are getting remove instead of merging
Currently KNEWC is broken on recent Matrix build because of an arbitrary decision by the Kodi team that requires me to bump the minimum version of python KNEWC requires even though that is actually not my code requirement. I also need to wait for kodi-six to be released before I can do anything.
This will also force me to create a new source version controla on github just for Matrix and add another version onto the download repo.
