I have one (home theater, HT) computer we use to watch all our TV (one TV, too). That computer ran Windows 7, and I'm upgrading to Windows 10. I have an Unraid server that stores all our recorded TV. I use HD Homerun Prime (3 tuners), with a cable card.
I would like to add Next PVR to this system. Next PVR (client) will of course be on the HT computer, but should I consider making the back end/server part be on my unraid server? In the past, both the unraid server and the HT computer have run 24/365. So, it's possible for me to put Next PVR solely on the HT computer, though this means copying recorded TV to the unraid server periodically.
So, should I attempt an installation on my unraid server? Or just keep everything on Windows?
Some recordings, when i play them i get nothing (black screen and no sound), if I right click and "stop" then select the same recording but Resume rather than play, it will play fine.
In the log, I started up and started to play at 14:55 and started the Resume at 14:56
I previously tried out NPVR on windows, and just recently came back to playing with it on Linux! I'm running it on an Odroid MC1 ( Samsung Exynos5422 big-LITTLE octa-core CPUS with 2GB RAM ), with Ubuntu 18.04.
I can install NPVR no problems, load my channel line up, heck even create a few recordings, and they sometimes work! But.... really often, unfortunately for no reason I can see, the service nextpvr-server just dies.... I could be changing a page in the web gui ( channels, to guide ), it crashes. Looking at recordings, it crashes, after a recording has completed, it crashes.....
I must say I REALLY like the look of NPVR 5! And the fact that it's on Linux now, AMAZING!!!!! Would love to move to this from TV Mosaic, as TV Mosaic has issues recording a couple of shows sometimes, but can't after 4 days figure out why it keeps randomly crashing....
I've uploaded my log files to this post, and hope perhaps someone might be able to help me troubleshoot what the issue is, so I can start using this awesome version!
If it's any help, I had several crashed even just this AM ( Jan 28th, @ roughly 8:00 to 9:00 AM ).
I could really do with some help!
Im using NPVR v4 in Kodi 18 and wasn't having any issues with live tv reception in my old house.
I moved about an hour away to my new house a week ago, scanned for the new channel frequencies and got most of them (I've double checked they are correct) but I'm rarely able to watch any channels in Kodi or in NPVR itself- I just a blank screen.
I've tried re-scanning several times and ended up totally reinstalling NPVR and Kodi add-on but the problem persists.
I also tried scanning channels just through the antenna to back of TV and the TV picks them all up so that kinda confirms the signal is probably ok.
Occasionally a random channel or two will work but others won't.
So I got the point of calling an antenna guy around just to make sure it's not a signal issue. But this morning, after 3 days, all channels were working perfectly so I cancelled. Now a few hours later, I've got no channels working.
I've attached logs in case anyone may be able to help diagnose before I get the antenna guy to come.
The NPVR log does show signal as -20 for some channels....is that actually saying I've got no signal for that frequency?
I going to setup on my analogue tuner on channel 4 for cable box but come find NextPVR doesn't give me any option only Digital ATSC and ClearQAM with both HVR 2250 and 1800 not even S/Video or Composite showup
Here is my setup:
The purpose is to have a PC in Greece with a usb tuner attached in order to stream Local free to air digital tv channels,
Server
i3-8gb ram-360gb hdd,Terratec usb tuner with Realtek 2832U chipset, computer located in my parents home in Greece,wire connected to router with line abilities of 20M download speed and 1M upload.Config file has been modified to allow remote streaming and parameters for web streaming bitrate have been decreased due to insufficient upload speeds.
Clients
Nvidia shield TV ,TX3 mini android box, MotoG5s android phone, all with Nextpvr client app in Malta ,plus a dell laptop accessing web client.
With MotoG5s i can say that i have the most success till now and with TX3mini android TV box as well,regarding the Next pvr app.It connects and streams well ,after applying lower bitrate settings of course due to sufficiency from the upload server line.On both of them kodi struggles and i can barely watch 1-2 seconds of Live TV.
On Nvidia shield i cannot login at all to the Server and i always get a message to ensure that Next Pvr is running etc.,which is not the case coz from the other devices i can login and from Kodi with nextpvr client installed ,as well.On Nvidia shield TV kodi struggles as well ,like in the other devices.
So first of all,how could i solve the non connectivity issue with Nvidia Shield TV?
Secondespite the lower bitrate settings applied ,often i will get a second or two of buffering from Moto G5s and TX3 mini android tv box.Is there a way from the server side,a setting to compensate for slower upload speeds,like a delayed 10 seconds buffered stream lets say or something like that?
Third ,are there known well working settings for kodi?
And as an extra,are you guys aware of an alternative way to upload the video from NextPvr server to a CDN type of servce and then redirect to the client apps?Would it improve the situation for slower upload lines or i am overdoing it?
Regarding the logs i tried to upload the 4 txt files ,but i recveived a message that this file type is not allowed.Should i rar them or something else???
Thanks for your time and all the helpful replies,in advance
