My HTPC is set to run Kodi as soon as the user logs in. Unfortunately this always causes the NextPVR add-on to fail to initialise.
The issue appears to be that the NextPVR service is configured for a delayed start. If I delay launching Kodi for 2 minutes then everything works fine because, by then, NextPVR is up and running.
Is there any reason why I shouldn't reconfigure the NextPVR service to start immediately?
I'm finally getting around to migrating NPVR off the mighty Dell XPS 420 that I've been using since 2007.
I'm looking to migrate in the most painless way possible. Everything will be the same on the new system - same tuner cards, same drives for recordings etc using exactly the same paths and the same OS (W10 64).
Can I just install NPVR on the new PC and then copy the contents of \Users\Public\NPVR over, or will that break things?
Hello, I've been using NextPVR for several months now and I've had this issue regarding channels. Upon launch I can view any channel, but after stopping live TV or after there's been a recording I cannot revisit that channel or any channels from the same broadcaster. If I view a different broadcasters channel I can then switch back to the first one, but not the second one.
I.e. I can do the following: ABC > SBS > ABC but not ABC > ABC or ABC > SBS > SBS.
I'm using Windows 10 64bit with a Playstation TV tuner that uses Pinnacle drivers.
Any help would be appreciated. Which logs do you want attached?
I'm finally getting around to updating my server to WIN 10. At this point I'm still running V4 of NPVR.
Using my on-board video (HD 4200) I can't get the screen to fill out; have a black border.
I assume this is a problem with WIN 10?
I've tried a registry hack that seemed to solve the problem, but it keeps reverting back to the border eventually.
So I started playing with some video cards I had laying around. The one installed at the moment is a Radeon HD 5570.
That quickly solved the border problem, but now I have an audio problem.
Occasionally, when I stop playing a video I get a continued high pitched whistling sound. The workaround is to restart and stop the video.
My question, is this a video driver problem or could it be a decoder problem?
I didn't have this problem using the on-board HD 4200.
If it's the driver, I'm probably screwed, since I believe I have the latest driver for the video card.
Hi,
I have Ubuntu 18.04.4 installed and Nextpvr V5. I am using the Hauppauge 2650 cable card dual tuner. The tuners show up in the devices, but I unable to download any channels from Schedules Direct (SD). When I start to initialize a tuner, the correct SD lineup name appears, but when I scan, nothing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A problem that has plagued me (and a few other users) in V4 is playback of a recording suddenly jumping to video fast forward (with normal audio) when there is a "blip" in the recording file's data or sometimes when performing a forward skip.
I've been playing around with V5 recently and was hoping this problem would go away with all the excellent rewrite work but I've now found it is consistent in V5 as well.
I have a recording which hits a blip in the data stream about 4mins into playback. If the Microsoft decoders are selected, the playback freezes at this point. Sometimes it may restart after about 10 seconds but thereafter the video is jumpy and pixelated.
If the LAV decoders are selected, the video jumps to fast forward at the point of the blip (with sound continuing at a normal pace).
It is very difficult to skip over the point of the blip but if you succeed, video & sound are perfectly normal until the end of the recording.
If I play the file in VLC, video freezes for a couple of seconds at the point of the blip, but then continues with normal video/sound.
I can send you a copy of the file if you want to take a look?
