I followed the directions using the .deb file and --install-recommends switch.  The web interface showed my Device as ATSC LocalRecorder(adapter0)(unavailable).  Even so, it let me Scan Channels and Save them.  However tuning to any of them shows a red error message "Failed to start requested stream."

I removed nextpvr-helper (without autoremoving dtv-scan-tables dvb-tools and hdhomerun-config), then reinstalled.  Now my Device appeared without the (unavailable) next to it, and could tune to channels this time.  

After restarting the PC, I got the red "Failed to start requested stream" error message again.  NextPVR will survive a logoff, but it won't survive a reboot.  To make it work I must remove and reinstall every time.  

Manually updated the EPG and allowed it to complete without interruption, but nothing showed up in TV Guide.  The Closed Captions and Gear icons didn't work in the player, but I could right-click and enable Show Controls and successfully turned on that CC button only after full-screening with my fonts enlarged to 200%.  Otherwise it'd be blocked behind the popup player controls.

Running Linux Mint 19.3, with Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1800.
I tried using generic kernel(s) from Ubuntu, and both the standard and HWE kernel versions from the Hauppauge PPA with identical results.


Any ideas?

I know the app isn't designed for this yet but others seem to have it working so I figured would try it out.  Got the app loaded onto the fire stick.  Can connect and everything seems fine.  Guide loads, recordings load and channels load.  Try to play recording or live tv and just get black screen.  Have tried both direct play and transcode but get same black screen.

Same thing also happens with kodi app.  It connects, everything looks fine but then nothing when I try to play something.

Logs were cleared out so only thing is me trying to play live tv from android app via direct play then another try with transcode.

Any ideas?

In the NextPVRServer window I see "missing root element" when it is about to fail. In the video playback window I get [b]Streaming Failed (transcoder exited) [/b]after the following error rolls past the screen.  I included a few rows before and after the error that shows in a red font.

I'm using a Windows 2019 x64 server without a monitor for NextPVR.
All control is done over RDP

I noticed something strange with the GUI (NextPVR.exe from the client directory)
When I leave it running it maxes out my CPU usage
But only when I minimize or disconnect RDP
As soon as I see the screen (RDP) the CPU usage drops

I have never seen this kind of behavior with any other programs
The peak in the screenshot is when RDP is minimized

New to NextPVR, started in fresh with v5.  I have a Win10 system where I also have a working Ceton 4-tuner card.  Is there a way for my NextPVR installation on this box to access the Ceton tuners?

NextPVR is working fine with the HDHomeRun I have on the network, but I would like to take those tuners back for other network clients and use the local Ceton tuners for NextPVR.  Doc pointers are fine, I'm willing to dig in and experiment as necessary.

Thanks for any help...

I have a few questions about the information displayed in kodi skins

this is information for my DialogPVRInfo.xml

pvr.nextpvr



pvr.iptvsimple



as you can see one addon shows the cast and director and the other one doesn't

textbox:

Hi.  I'm having a problem with choppy video (slo-mo for a second or two, then very fast catchup, slight skips, etc.) on some IPTV channels, even though the audio plays fine.  Currently I'm seeing this on the UK channels BBC1, ITV1, 2, 3 & 4, and Channel 5.  On the otherhand, Channels BBC2, BBC4 and Channel 4 all play perfectly fine, with excellent video.  This is using NextPVR V4.2.5 directly on my PC, with no VPN.

If I watch those same channels on my Firestick using the Tivimate or IPTV Smarters players, they all play fine, with no choppy video at all.  My current NPVR log file is attached, and I'd be happy to email you privately my m3u login credentials if that will help with troubleshooting.  Please advise.

Ray.

let's start with xmltv with url not working and not automatically mapping on any system 

I checked many different sources (only manual addition of each station works correctly)

same file on linux after adding location (Add XMLTV Lineup)  XMLTV [/home/guide.xml],

/home/guide.xml   works correctly.

on Docker  adding (Add XMLTV Lineup)
/storage/nextpvr/guide.xml or different locations do not work at all

Dears,

I'm trying migrate from DVBLink, where my diseqc configuration looks like on attached picture.
Can anyone help me how to configure this in nextPVR?

Thanks in advance,
Martin

I'm considering switching my NextPVR server to a Raspberry Pi 4. I'm currently using a Hauppauge WinTV-DualHD USB tuner on a Ubuntu 19.04 system. I'd probably use the .deb installer on the Pi. Will the WinTV-DualHD work with NextPVR on the Pi?

I'm only interested in ATSC OTA recording...playback will be done using the AppleTV client. I would use a USB external hard drive for the data.

Advice/comments/opinions appreciated.

Thanks...
