I recently updated my old Windows 7 PC to Windows 10.  NextPVR was showing both SD & HD channels clearly after the initial install of Windows 10, and I successfully recorded TV shows.  However, after running Windows 10 for a few days I noticed that my TV reception in NextPVR would break up - SD channels would show some pixelation with the sound breaking up occasionally, and HD channels would be unwatchable, with half the screen covered in green (or sometimes pink).  Using the original software I got with my TV card (Winfast PVR2) I confirmed that reception was still OK (i.e. I could clearly display both SD & HD TV channels), so the problem does not seem to be a reception issue.  I've also tried changing the decoders used for MPEG2 & H.264, but only the LAV decoder (MPEG2) and the Microsoft DTV-DVD decoders (H.264) seem to work at all.  I've found that occasionally I can fix the issue by restoring my PC to a backup I made when the TV signal was clear in NextPVR, but not always.  I was wondering if anyone else had seen this issue and has any suggestions for me to try.  I never remember having any issues when I was running Windows 7.

I've attached a zip of my current log files, but at the moment (touch wood) NextPVR is clearly showing both SD & HD channels.

TV Card: Winfast DTV 1000 S (Driver Date: 13/10/2010 Version: 1.3.4.5020
Video Card: AMD HD 6450 (Driver Date: 04/11/2015 Version: 15.201.1151.1008)

Have you seen this bug before?

I recently got a Hauppauge Dual HD USB tuner.  When I am watching one tuner and hit the up or down arrow the TV guide comes up on the screen perfectly. No troubles.

However when I have PIP active and hit the up or down arrow the TV guide display comes up but with channels missing through the whole table.  In this screenshot one can see that 4.1 and 7.1 7.2 and 7.3 are missing with only the last channel in each subchannel series showing up...   if you compare this to the channel table on the right you can see what is missing. https://imagebin.ca/v/509WkM6qcMbN If I scroll the TV guide its the same all through... only the last channel shows up.

When I stop the PIP and try the TV guide again.. its working properly.

Hope I helped.

Are there any minimum requirements for passwords?

There seems to be as I was trying to change my password to something simple like one character or one number but it was ignored. And 4 of the same characters didn't work either.

Thanks

I finally have TV working via Kodi on localhost and have started trying to access from other LAN computers. I've tried Android Kodi and Windows 7, both will not connect to the server. If I click TV, in the upper right corner "PVR manager to starting up" will appear but never change from 0%. All computers and tablet are using the same NextPVR add-on. 

I've checked using a second not internet connected router with different subnet settings to make sure my ATT router isn't blocking :8866 and nothing changed. 

Also checked using Kodi :8080, which works fine on localhost but not remotely. 

Ports 8866 and 8080 are both allowed tcp with ufw. 

A ping of the server (running Ubuntu 19.04) works fine.

Please help! What am I missing here?

Hi!

Long time NPVR user that is slowly expanding the horizon of the software offerings.  This past weekend I figured out how to allow a family member to stream to remote location (their house) a football game via my PVR system.  I used my routers HTTP server and all worked well for the most part(occasional drops). However after the fact I realized that this wasn't the most secure connection. 

My System is an r3 1200 windows 10, NPVR build 4.2.5, asus rt-arch13 router

So my question is what is the best way to secure an output feed from your system?  What methods are others using? Is this outside of the realm of what the web access portion of the software is intended for?

My first thought was a VPN however they seem to be inconsistent (even paid services)… I than looked at HTTPS but not totally certain that it is what I need.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Can someone tell me where I may find within NextPVR the channel and epg info?  I want to edit the info within the files.

Thank you,

Bruce

Hi. I was experimenting on my windows 10 PC with nextPVR.  Wanted to try using Intel quick sync as the video encoder for "transcoded streaming"... as on the "clients" tab in settings.

When I select this Intel quick sync option - a warning is displayed that this would only work when running the recording service from the command prompt.

As I am not a programmer but just sort of handy with a computer.. I thought I would ask what is the correct way to run the recording service from the command prompt? I use a standard user account to run nextpvr and watch tv.

Having said that is there some sort of advantage in running the recording service as a service that I would loose when running it from a command prompt?

Many thanks

Edward

I can't get live tv to work in the desktop app on latest build.  This was working in a previous build.  Looks OK for an instant, then degrades into a pixelated mess.  I fiddled with decoders to no avail.  Best I can tell, recording is working and I can play a recording using the client as well as VLC.  Live TV works in web app. V4 live TV is working fine.   I have decoders set in V5 matching V4.  Attached logs, but I don't see much there.  Colossus 2 on Windows 10.  Using Component/SPDIF.

Now that I'm moving my production system to v5, I'm missing having the Windows Desktop Gadget running on my laptop to showing me the current recordings and free disk space "at a glance".

cncb: Do you still have the source code for the gadget? Have you looked into updating it to use the v5 API instead of NEWA?

Any plans to provide channel sorting by column in the channels page @ /settings.html# ?  Hard to map without sorting.  Importing two sources also causes two of every channel number so the channel list starts with channel number 1 details A, number 1 details B, number 2 details A, number2 details B, etc.  :-)
