As a WMC/MCE refugee, I use a RC6 MCE IR USB compatible remote receiver to launch and control viewing with NextPVR on a Win10Pro PC. I had a need to launch the 'Subtitles' sub-menu when viewing (playing ?) a recorded show, which is easy to do with a keyboard and Ctrl-X, but my media PC is set-up as an Appliance without a keyboard. My solution was to download 'AdvancedMCEmapper' (https://app.box.com/s/6zab0xg9k3n3wl09wtm7) and remap the unused 'Red' button to Ctrl-X. AdvancedMCEmapper must be run as Administrator to allow you to save the new key map in the registry. AdvancedMCEmapper might only be compatible with a RC6 MCE IR remote, so your mileage may vary. It is always a good practice to backup the key mapping before you change it. A picture of the remapped key in AdvancedMCEmapper is atttached.
This is New territory for me installing apps on a Sony Bravia Android TV.
I found NextPVR in the Google App Store and tried to install it. It asks to purchase the app which I already have on an iPad tablet. So I chose to purchase a copy for the TV. Then an error screen appears to advise I have already purchased the app and there is no option offered to install it. I tried twice with the same result.
I have received 2 emails which has made 2 purchases for NextPVR from my Google account, then 2 further emails that refunded me.
I was having a problem with NextPVR latest 4.xx release finding my tuner where I would have to rescan the channels to have make the tuner available. While playing with the settings I checked "use as a server" know when I try to load the program I get this error: Server database not found at:\\hushpc\npvr\npvr.db3
I uninstalled and reinstalled the software but the error persist. I even went into the Regedit and erased what I saw for nextpvr and that didn't help.
I must be missing something.
Any other ideas?
Thanks
So I have my #2 ODroid N2 CoreElec's setup exactly how I want now, with Comskip functioning in playback, and controlled with my Hauppauge 45 button remote.
I went back to the first N2 (I'll call #1) I set up previously and duplicated the steps. Everything works except the Play button is still play/pause and doesn't jump to the end of the commercial segment. But the N2 #2 I described above DOES skip the commercial segment with the Play button (Play button does not play/pause).
My Hauppauge 45 button key map file defines this for pause (0x1e30) and play (0x1e35) buttons
0x1e30 KEY_PLAYPAUSE
0x1e35 KEY_PLAY
I copied remote.xml on the N2 #1:
cp /usr/share/kodi/system/keymaps/remote.xml /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml
Then edited /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml file with the following changes in the <global> section:
<play>Play</play>
<pause>PlayPause</pause>
I thought this was all I did to get the Play button to trigger the commercial skip on N2 #2, but it doesn't work on N2 #1.
Comskip does work on both #1 and #2, I tested with "999" toggle.
I didn't see any settings that seemed applicable to this in Kodi, PVR or knewc add-ons.
I'm havin' a bad day it seems. I've been trying to get KNEWC to connect with the V5 PC server. A pin error was suggested so I went to the web app and changed it. Then I changed it in the RPi4. No luck. So, using the web app again, I enabled the web server in Settings and now I the web app does not ask for a login and shows no information at all!
But everything is just fine if I open http://<ip>:8867 on another machine! Pops right up and asks for the login credentials.
I attached the logs. The desktop app works perfectly as far as live TV goes so I believe the DB is OK. Will you need the config file?
I can't get RPi4 Raspbian Knewc to connect to my V5 Windows server. It used to work until I was hacked. I've restored the best I can but no luck so far.
After restoring my system drive, I cannot connect to NextPVR using http://localhost:8866. I get the attached screen message.
I've attached the logs. I'd like to avoid a re-install but will I need to?
I updated to the latest build (121419) after the install the server.exe will only stay running with the command prompt window open. Anytime I close the window the server shuts down.
Issue: Lack of focus on subsequent Windows NextPVR launch (new user-old problem ?). Currently using NextPVR V4_2_5_191014, Intel-DH55TC mobo, Win10Pro X64, RC6 IR MCE remote (from an old Sony VAIO PC), and a Logitech Harmony 650 IR remote. The front end is a Cetron InfiniTV4 card with M-SIM card to Frontier FiOS. First time launching NVPR via the Harmony IR remote or VAIO IR remote MCE 'Green Button' results with NPVR having focus on the Windows desktop. If NPVR is exited and re-launched, NVPR shows on the Windows desktop, but does not have focus. The remediation is to logoff the existing user session and log back on or to use an attached keyboard to give NPVR focus. Since this is an 'Appliance' PC with no normally attached keyboard, the lack of focus and need for a keyboard is a nuisance. The solution was to re-define the Logitech MyHarmony 'Watch NextPVR' activity on the Media Center PC with a trailing 'Alt-Tab' key sequence. This grants the NVPR Windows session focus when launched with the 'Green Button' and the IR remotes then function as desired. An image of the Logitech MyHarmony 'Watch NextPVR' is attached.
I'm running nextPVR ( Version 4.2.5 (191.14) ) on my backend server on a Windows 10 computer. I'm running the nextPVR addon on both Kodi Krypton (Version 2.4.13.1) and Kodi Leia (Version 3.3.15.4) so I can watch live TV. In order to make it possible to time shift greater than 20 minutes, I changed the Pause Buffer setting (slipseconds) on the back end server to 7200 seconds.
Under Kodi Krypton, I can time shift up to 2 hours when watching live TV. However under Kodi Leia, the ability to time shift disappears completely after approximately 40 minutes.
Is there a way to get the Leia nextPVR addon to respect the backend pause buffer time like Kodi Krypton does?
