is it possible to view iptv channels in groups ?

Got v5 m3u and epg setup working well until I tried cleaning up virtual IPTV sources.  Now the Guide content is missing about 1/2 way down but only in iOS devices. Locally the NextPvr client shows correctly and local browser shows correctly, see attached.  Whats more odd is in iOS if I goto Channels and change from Favorites (which I created) and change to All Channels, then the content that was missing shows properly.  I could delete the favorite and create all over, which is about an hour job, since "auto map" doesn't line up the 3rd party EPG channels well using either of the two methods. But I hesitate since the problem is only on iOS. I rechecked my Favorite settings and all looks fine, no differences between showing and no shows.  Restarted server & clients. No change. Suggestion on a first corrective action?

Hi,

I have been playing with nextPVR5 over the past week and new to this type of software but its going ok. I am curently trying to finalise the backend before devoting time to the clients. Great software and kudos to the developers.

I am running a physical Server 2019 box with a TBS 6909-X octa tuner pci-e card. NextPVR sees the 8 tuners and i have managed to scan channels on 28.2E using the default scan settings. I have tested clients on the frontend and managed to get streams to play so doing well! The issue/questions i have are based around the EPG and more importantly the Channel Numbers. 

I cannot get Schedules Direct to populate every freesat channel - not crappy channels but ones like BBC HD. I also cannot find an easy way to rearrange channel numbers.

EPG:

• Is Schedules Direct the only way of getting EPG?
  
• When populating via Schedules Direct by entering postcode etc. What should i be choosing for freesat? Every option has a -cable suffix. Should i be selecting all of them?
  

• How can i auto re-arrange channels to be in "normal" order?
  

In TvMosaic, devices are added equal to the number of connections a host provides, in my case 3. And the m3u and epg are added to each device.  Does NextPvr work the same way, or is only one device needed that serves multiple connections.  I thought I saw the number 32, while creating, and thinking it represented the number of connections one device would support.  Or does it mean something different?

Just installed latest v5 for the first time, tired of fighting TvMosaic issues. Can client into server on same box both with browser and client app. Loaded NextPvr iOS app on AppleTv4k and it endlessly searches for the server.  Presume it uses broadcast and can't see server on a different subnet. Is there a way to setup the iOS app to a specific ip:port so it works?  I operate other servers/clients across two subnets without issue.

Hello, I am unable to play old and new recordings since the update to tvOS 13 on my AppleTVs.  I looked around here and could not see anyone else posting so not sure if this is specific to my environment.

When you play a video it plays for 1-2 seconds and then stops.  Any ideas?

Here is what I found in the weblog:

Might  be a silly question, am I able to wake npvr server by adding the mac adress of devices/clients to setting option on npvr server?

Are there any other areas in which I could help with some testing?

I now have v4 and v5 servers up, remote or local, and many client options: Windows, Linux (any distro), Librelec, Mac, Android Phone, Android Tablet, Kindle, iPad, Chromebook.

Hi,

I'm not sure how recently this started, but have noticed it over the last few weeks with some stuff coming back onto UK TV that I wish to record.

My EPG isn't getting automatically updated, but when I manually press the "Update EPG" button, it happily goes away and gets a week's worth of guide.


I'm running 4.2.4 on Windows Server 2016, with a HDHomeRun Connect Quattro tuner.

I've attached my logs in case it casts any light.


I can't remember whether this was a brand new installation, or whether I migrated it from an older machine (where I was using a BlackGold BGT-3620 which was installed directly into the machine) - I think now it might have been a migration so I didn't need to re-configure my list of shows I record...

Thanks!

As you will have noticed, we're now running different forum software. I liked the old vbulletin 4 software, but it was no longer being updated, and starting to become a security liability.  I looked at various options forum software, and opted to go with mybb, which I've found decent on the kodi forums.

I've imported what I could from the old vbulletin site. Its only really the attachments which weren't copied over...the vast majority of those were just logs, so no great loss.

It'll take a little while to get used to the new forum, but it should be able to do most of the same things. Some of the things it does much better than vbulletin.

I've picked a theme that is more mobile-friendly.
