Hi
I have new machine all working OK.Latest NextPVR. After EPG update at 2.00 am machine will not go back to sleep. Will sleep OK if you use the power options for sleep. Powercfg requests says kernel driver is the problem. The Tuner Hauppauge Dual Digital Tuner. The tuner is still showing an orange light so presumably it is still active and this is keeping the machine awake.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
John
For example on Discovery you have a show called "Gold rush: White water" where same episode is aired multiple times. I want to prevent duplicate recording so i set my recording rule to "Record Series (NEW episodes)".
That didn't work because the column first_run for all EPG_EVENT data is always set to 'Y' and is not updated. I am using the EPG data from DVB-C from my provider.
Since it was not set I thought let's make a config/PostLoadEPG.sh script which runs a complex .sql statement that uses the episode-num in the metadata of the description and checks the start_time for episodes having the same episode-num and then updates the first_run column, this works. But I ran into a problem because every 24 hours all EPG data is deleted from EPG_EVENT table including old events (laying in the past), so my previously and correctly first_run='N' episode is now updated by my SQL query back to first_run='Y' and stays Y until aired.
Can I somehow retain old EPG_EVENT data for some days before being deleted? Or do I need to save a copy of all first_run='N' instances?
I do wonder how this `first_run` can be used reliably when its not set by EPG data directly.
Just now, I opened NextPVR to watch a recording of Meet The Press on NBC. Audio was normal at first, but after 15 mins the audio sounded very low-pitched - like a ransom demand in a movie. Same issue when I started to watch the recording of This Week with George Stefanopoulos
Problem also happened last Sunday, June 29th, on multiple recordings.
Hi,
I have downloaded the latest NextPVR. I have started scanning my channels choosing "Italy/Sicily" but just 23 have been found over hundred we have. They are secondary "Rai" (The national TV) channels. Other PVR scan 120.
Since 2 days, my EPG on DVB-C does not update anymore. here was no windows-update or anything else, as far as I can see.
I've updated NPVR to latest version to check if it solves the problem, but it did not/
I deleted the EPG database and also updated it , but always the message: EPG Update complete. [0 inserted, 0 updated, 1010 skipped]
how about like media center would do, were movies from your tv guide could be shown in a poster style graphically displaying movies in genre like horror, action etc and were you can view by alphabet or in order of date.
It could be a new section to create and would be a great way to see what movies are coming up etc.
Recently I noticed that recording via NextPVR I get a TS file where the time recorded does not match what the file says - only with a transcoding it gets somehow fixed but the audio gets lost at some point.
I know the IPTV stream could/can be faulty but I am able to record the same IPTV stream with other tools and with ffmpeg.
Any chance you can have a look at what's going on?
Let me know if I can share some more details.
I've been troubleshooting Extras tuner integration on Linux with the latest nextpvr-helper.deb package (v3.1) and have run into what looks like a complete absence of Extras support.
Environment:
- OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Architecture: amd64
- Mono: 6.8.0.105
- NextPVR: 3.1, installed via official .deb with --install-recommends
Extras Config:
I've created /var/opt/nextpvr/extra/extras-hdradio.xml containing:
The script exists, is executable, and runs independently. Permissions are correct.
Confirmed:
- <ExtraDirectory> is present and correct in config.xml
- XML file is valid and readable
- Manual server restarts performed
Issue:
- No log entry about loading extras-hdradio.xml
- No Extras tuners shown in Devices tab
- No API trace from /service endpoint
- Purged install and reinstalled from official .deb, recreated files
Suspected Cause:
It appears the Linux build is skipping or missing Extras subsystem entirely. Windows build loads the same file without issue.
Question:
Can you confirm whether Extras support is enabled in current Linux builds? If not, is it planned, or is there a workaround?
