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).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Not sure where to go from here.

Thanks

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.

Thanks in advance,

Apologies if this has been asked before, I couldn't find an answer after a cursory search.

What is the recommended method for updating V5 on Windows without losing any current configuration and recording schedules?

Hi guys,

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.

What does anyone think?  I'm completely off base?

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:

1. Extend the NPVR image and install Python (assuming it isn't there already) and then the Python modules I need.
   
2. Extend an Ubuntu image (or I guess Debian if I wanted to), install the Python modules, then install NPVR using the deb file.
   

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?

Thanks in advance

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.
