Hi Sub,

Foxtel (AUS) have added some channels to the line-up and I'm trying to work out the easiest way to add them to the HD-PVR channel list.

Firstly, Add Channels doesn't work at all through the Web Gui - I have to use Import Channels.
Secondly, with Import Channels, is it possible to add a {xmltv id} tag to the blaster args, that picks up the HD-PVR channel to blast from the xmltv file? Currently {channel} simply adds the new NextPVR channel, and not the Blaster Channel.



Here's my xmltv snippet:



So "Fox ONE" needs to blast channel 101 to my colossus, not 816.

Really hope this is possible, as when I update the xmltv file with new channels, I could then simply clear and refresh the channels easily.

Not sure what the issue is that Intel highlights in their release notes here but I saw this because I was having sound stuttering issues though that may or may not be related. Just a heads up for anyone having trouble this week.

This is a continuation of the my thread on the V4. V5 is currently unusable for me and I am seeking guidance.

Few up front things.  Raspberri Pi's run openelec 7.0.1, windows 10 1903 I believe HDhomerun dual tuners

A few issues that I am running into:

1) NextPVRServer Error - issue can be seen at 17:20 of Nrecord on 11/6, not sure what is causing this or what is effected about it.
2) Openelec play back on RPI2 set to access back in through port 8867 freezes, transcoding issue or not feeding MPEG2? Logs indicate a test.ts instead of the live tv feed, doesn't make sense...
3) Access to port 8867 is a bit weird.  RPI can pull information, I can access via localhost:8867 however any other access is denied.  HTTP server setup does not access 8867, but 8866 (V4) works like a dream. 127.0.0.1 will not access 8867 either.

For the time being I am using V4 to feed the house.

Thanks for any help

Hi,

Does anyone know how to run this on Catalina?

To clarify, I get an error with System.Private.Corelib.dll (unable to open as developer cannot be identified).

I've been using NextPVR on Windows 10 for years, and now I intend to switch completely to Linux. Of course, I would like to use NextPVR on Linux as well. I also tried other DVB solutions for Linux, but none really did what I wanted.

So I installed NextPVR on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and with some help from this forum, I also got it working.

Unfortunately, the channel scan does not find any channels. The correct driver for my two Hauppauge WinTV-soloHD DVB devices is installed and working. The devices are correctly detected, and w_scan and kaffeine both find all DVB-T2 channels. NextPVR finds none.

What am I missing?

Greetings all,

It's been a while and I hope you are all well.  After almost 3 years of work-hell I finally find myself at home for a while with some free time so I'm working on my honey-do list.

NextPVR updates are on that list and while I was digging into that it got me thinking.  While our 9yo HP 1080T PC is still humming along as our NPVR server and family room client, it's still Win7 (with support ending next year) and I'm concerned about how much longer we should rely on it.  My first HTPC (GBPVR), a Dell 9100, only lasted about 6 years running 24x7 before it went flakey, so we're about 1.5x that unit.  I'm trying to be proactive, especially given I have some free time right now.

Any recommendations for a new box?  I generally look for a deal, but it's such a PITA when problems occur (like "drop everything" to fix it PITA), I would be alright spending a little more on it if that improves reliability. 

Honestly I've been extremely pleased with the 1080T, all I've done to it over the years was add a SSD drive for the OS (not really necessary, but I had the drive), up-sized a few of the 3.5" HDDs for increased storage capacity, and recently replaced the case fan.  The 1080T seems to have all I need, an HDMI output, 4x 3.5" bays (and SATA ports), and a 5.25" bay for a Blueray DVD drive.  Anything else I should be looking for in a new PC?

Thanks for your time.

I'm pretty new to NextPVR and loving it, but found one issue that I haven't figured out yet.  I looked in the forums, but didn't find a direct answer.  Apologies if it is out there and I missed (if that is the case, please link me a previous answer).

I have a HDHomeRun with 2 tuners.  Now that I have several recording schedules created, I am finding that, occasionally, three shows are scheduled at the same time.  Since I only have 2 tuners, NextPVR marks one of those shows not to be recorded (shown as orange in the guide).  It appears that the decision about which shows get recorded and which don't is related to the order in which I created the schedules.

I can't figure out if there is a way (and how to do it, if there is a way) to set up recording schedule priorities... is this possible?

That is, if I really want to record Show X, but just happen to have scheduled it most recently, if Show X conflicts with two other shows it will never record.  I would like to tell NextPVR an order in which to consider the shows, including which is the "least important" show so that it can be skipped in case of a conflict.  

Thanks for any help!

Cheers!

Any ideas on a windows 10 batch file to escape special characters in show titles?

For instance a show title might have "&" in it.  Unless this is escaped comcut truncates the title and then returns a fatal error.

For some crazy reasons I am recording TV on windows then moving them to a Ubuntu machine to be processed with Comcut.  Comcut is a bash script that combines comskip and ffmpeg to remove ads.

If I had any idea what I was doing I could probably insert some code using sed into Comskip

I have a HDhomerun with MPEG4 capability. I noticed nextpvr5 stores recordings as MPEG2. I looked into the web UI and didn't see an obvious way to have my HDhomerun stream as MPEG4.

NextPVR4 does of course do this (aka service type of H.264 HD), and after some poking around i believe under the covers it's stored in the nextpvr.db3 under the channel_mapping table using a service type of 25.

Before I go about doing something silly I have a few Qs;

1. Can I set the service type to "H.264 HD" in nextpvr5 web UI as I can in nextpvr4? I don't think so but i want to double check.
   
2. If no, - is the schema that effects channel_mapping relatively unchanged from v4 to 5? Looks like it's the same to me. I see new tables, but things sort of look relatively similar enough.
   
3. Thus, can I "update channel_mapping set service_type = 25" in nextpvr.db3 and achieve the effect I desire?
   

With prior sources the Settings/Channels tab was populated with mappings for every channel offered by the source. With the latest sub, tried today, there are no mappings. I have the new source's EPG and a 3rd party EPG listed just as before and have updated the EPG. Usually under the wrench icon there is a default and alternate EPG choice.  With no mappings, not certain how two EPG's are prioritized or utilized.

Is it possible if every m3u8 channel has an XMLTV EPG match that nothing would show in the Channels tab?
How would I know which channel is getting it's EPG from which EPG source?

By the way, the Channels and TvGuide are fully populated with the 3rd party EPG content so everything seems to look and work fine.
