In addition to regular TV channels my cable co provides an assortment of music channels. SWMBO asked if I could add one to NextPVR. That was easy as they show up as a regular TV channel, but I'm having problems playing them reliably. The Kodi clients on both a OSMC Vero 4K and several Pi3 all have problems. I'm guessing this might be more related to Kodi, but I'm not positive as I never played with them in V4.
They all start playing sound but don't show any screen for 15-20 seconds, then they usually drop the sound for 15-20 seconds, start sound again, and then finally show the video screen. After playing audio for 20-30 seconds they then drop completely on average 2 out of 3 times. Sometimes they play fine but even then it takes 45-60 seconds before the video screen will come up. interestingly if I pull a stream directly through VLC both audio and video come active almost instantly and play with no problems. As best I can tell the audio/video format is not the normal for a TV channel so I'm guessing that most likely has something to do with it too.
Attached are screenshots showing the video format for both a normal TV channel and one of the music channels along with clean Kodi and NextPVR logs. Both NextPVR and kodi were restarted and then I tried to play the music channel. First attempt played about 1 min then died, the second attempt did the same and the 3rd attempt played fine. After several minutes of playing I pulled both logs so they should only show those events. I can do a screen record if it would help.

I subscribe to an IPTV service that I have incorporated into NPVR.
My epg listings are mainly from the xmltv file provided from the service, but I have filled in some of
the gaps from a schedules direct account.
My service has now added some new channels to their lineup. I would like to add at least some of those channels into my
programming. I'm not sure how to do this without destroying the existing epg mapping. If I simply import the new
channel list, I'm afraid I will lose all the SD guide data.
Is there a way I can selectively add new channels to my NPVR from my service without re-importing everything?
I'm using the Docker AMD64 version. I was able to set up my service on with the new version. I am unable to do anything in the Settings/Channels page. I can click on the Advanced Tools and I see 3 options, Auto Merge, Auto Map and Channel Groups. Channel Groups brings up a list of all the groups on the right side of the screen with delete options (Trashcan) Clicking on the trash can doesn't do anything for me and I see no way to edit the channels. I would like to assign certain channels to different EPG data but there is nothing on this screen to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
EDIT : I can delete groups, it just takes awhile. Still no channel listings to edit.
My m3u includes "tvg-shift" parameter to timeshift the EPG for a specific channel by # of hours. Can this be a feature of NPVR? Seems simple enough. I have a bunch of west coast channels and only east coast EPG info.
I would like recordings to start one minute after the hour (or designated schedule time) and end one minute after the hour (or designated schedule time). I tried entering a value -1 pre-padding and a value of 1 post-padding. With this the recording still started at the top of the hour, not one minute later. Do these entries support a negative value?
Using a browser I can't figure out how to enter a "manual" recording schedule completely. I can sucessfully enter everything fine except the time. Defaults from 8:30PM to 8:30PM. Can only get a calendar popup in the date/time field. I can type a different military time in but it doesn't take. I can get a time entered using the client app localhost but the client app doesn't prompt what directory I want it in. Tried to work between browser and client app to get a complete entry but can't figure out how to edit after a schedule creation so I can fix the incorrect scheduled time.
I have not been around for awhile, hope you both are doing well...
I installed NexPVR on an old Mac with El Capitan and an getting the error below.

I have a maddening issue that I hope the very knowledgeable NPVR community can assist
The short version is I live overseas and use an AFN set top decoder box. For seven years, I have successfully used 92518 zip code with a Schedules Direct subscription to create the guide in NPVR. About a month ago, three of my channels suddenly imported 8 hours ahead of the actually airtime. I have contacted SD, AFN, and Zap2it. But only SD returned a response and they said "your application needs to apply an offset."
If I understand correctly, it is either an AFN or Zap2it issue but neither is providing me corrective action. So I am wondering if NPVR has the ability to offset those three channels by 8 hours so my guide is accurate?
Can anybody tell me how to add more descriptive programme metadata or info such as recorded programme episode content or overview or recorded programme description to the details pane in Windows Explorer? At the moment, all I get is the basics such as Title, File size, running time etc.
It would help with archiving and storage of material and the retrieval thereof.
If the config.xml has two EPG sources entered how are they handled? Does one have priority over the other, if so which one? Is source B merged with source A or the other way around?
