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
I'm new to NextPVR (very long term tvheadend user looking for more stability...) so forgive what maybe a stupid question.
I have set everything up correctly using the direct .exe, all works well. I've since watched the youtube video and realised I should use the service. After installing the service Kodi and the ios app work correctly, but trying to access the web UI via IP:8866 fails. Stopping the service and going back to the .exe and it works fine.

Hi,
After a 6 month break from playing with NPVR I recently reinstalled NextPVR on a new Mac mini with the latest OS Catalina 10.15.2, using dual HDHomeRun tuners. After a few hiccups installing the app (mainly code signing issues much discussed elsewhere in this sub forum) it is working pretty well. I got a free month subscription to iceTv for the TV guide and I installed ffmpeg and am able to watch live TV and record as well. This is great and thank you! So far so good.
There are a few small bugs which I will submit reports for in a few days.
However unfortunately I can’t get the AppleTV app to work at all. I downloaded it the morning and started it up but it crashed multiple times - searching for NPVR server… crash. The Mac terminal logs show:
[10] Unexpected error getting IP address: System.Net.Internals.SocketExceptionFactory+ExtendedSocketException (00000005, 0xFFFDFFFF): nodename nor servname provided, or not known at System.Net.Dns.InternalGetHostByName(String hostName) at System.Net.Dns.GetHostEntry(String hostNameOrAddress) at NShared.LocatorService.DetermineIPAddress()
each time I restart the ATV app.
I have rebooted the ATV and the NextPVR app on the Mac mini but the problem persists. I have enclosed the logs.
Now that I have a functional NPVR setup on my development machine, I'm finally in a place I can help with documentation. I see there's some stuff on Github already. Is it best to just fork that and then put in pull requests, or is there some other process in place?
