Having failed to get my 5.0 set up running which picks up the HDHR perfectly whilst having some playback issues I cant get 4 to show the HDHR as a tuner device.
I have searched the Wiki google and the search on this forum but not found anything.
Is there something i need to flag/install to make it find it?
For a while (going back to v4 and I'm pretty sure X-NEWA), we would occasionally (a couple of times a week, maybe) have an issue where when we'd start a show playing, the player seems to be put in the background and the Recording list continues to display. (You can hear the video playing, but not see it.) Pressing buttons (like the arrows, the stop, etc.) affect both the Recording list and the playing video in the background. If I exit out of knewc back to the Kodi main menu, then I see the video playing in the background.
It may be coincidence, but since the upgrade to the latest Nextpvr v5 version yesterday morning, I've had it happen multiple times. For the latest, I captured logs. Kodi's been running for a while, so the kodi log is very large. I put it in the folder with the NextPVR logs. You can download them here:

I am trying to install NextPVR on a PC that has Debian 10 (Buster) installed on it.
I downloaded the nextpvr-helper.deb file and attempted to install and got this response
rex@straitmedia:~$ sudo apt install ./nextpvr-helper.deb --install-recommends
[sudo] password for rex:

Note, selecting 'nextpvr-helper' instead of './nextpvr-helper.deb'
nextpvr-helper is already the newest version (1.0).

Sorry for having to ask, but when presented with the web page as a result in using http://127.0.0.1:8866/, I'm at a loss as there aren't any attempts by the server to ask for username and pass word setup. Are there defaults? Using my login info as I do for my machine does not work.
Ok some progress
EPG Update complete. [1029 inserted, 0 updated, 448 skipped]
But as can see only few a channel have any data in guide and run update 3 time and it still come out the same
Apparently I've been out of touch. I didn't even know about v5 until today! Anyway, I've been incrementally updating various parts of my DVR systems for years but now looking to do a whole-house upgrade. Windows has been my mainstay since 2006 but seeing that a Linux back end is available for NextPVR has got me thinking.
Has anyone installed NextPVR directly on their Synology NAS? I don't have all the right hardware to try it yet (my NAS box is 8 years old), but I've always been interested in offloading that task to the NAS box itself. I'll likely be upgrading hardware this Black Friday and now my head is filled with all sorts of possibilities.
For the second week in a row, I had an issue recording my school's football game. The games' broadcasts started at noon and I did my usual two minutes buffer at the beginning. In both cases, the two minutes of local content recorded and then it stopped recording as soon as the credits for the previous show ended. It started recording again at 2:58 PM when the recording of the next show that I had scheduled started. For sporting events I record the next show to make sure I don't miss the ending of the game.
Logs attached (after deleting some old web & MVP logs to get the zip small enough to attach)
Details for logs: Started recording channel 505 at 11:58 AM. Issue happens at 12:00 PM. Recording of content resumes at 2:58 PM and continues until scheduled end at 3:02 PM.
I should start by saying that everything I know about Docker I've learned in the last day and might actually be included in this post.
I'm planning (not in the near future) to purchase a Synology 918+ NAS and would like to run NPVR 5 on it and retire my Windows DVR. I currently have a Python script that runs as a post process for some Kodi library integration that I'd like to keep using, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to need to extend a Docker image to add the Python modules I need for the script to run. It looks like the NPVR 5 Docker image is based on Ubuntu (based on a forum post I saw). I think that means I have two choices:
Extend the NPVR image and install Python (assuming it isn't there already) and then the Python modules I need.
Extend an Ubuntu image (or I guess Debian if I wanted to), install the Python modules, then install NPVR using the deb file.
I think I'd rather do #1 because the extended image should inherit the CMD and all the needed EXPOSE commands for the network stuff. Another question is whether the HDPVR support I've seen talked about in other posts will be coming to the Docker image (the install post doesn't specifically list the HDPVR as supported, which is why I'm asking). I found a way to map a USB port on the Synology to a Docker image, so, in theory anyway, I should be able to get it working.
So I guess the question is whether I'm headed down the right path here or if I should just plan on keeping my Windows machine to run NPVR 5 on when the time comes to upgrade.
