I can't get the ffmpeg in the Docker container to use HW acceleration, it doesn't look like everything is available that is required.

I have been using the following Docker container to do accelerated transcodes for other things, but obviously I can't call it from another container.

Since it is also based on Ubuntu, it seems like using

I have had this card for some time, i have notice that in devices via npvr v4 and v5 it only shows dvbs2 but doesnt show dvb t from this card. heres a link for the card

When performing a QAM channel scan I found that there are some channels missing in the list when it completes. The scan reports that if found 232 channels but only 66 are listed. I made a scan file that only scans channel 83 (one of the missing channels) and they show up in the list even though it says 0 channels were found.

I attempted several scans and it always seems to miss the same channels.

I think the "channels found" may be reporting the same channel more than once.

I record a show and the in PostProcessing.sh I convert the ts to mp4. I also use comskip, in ParallelProcessing.sh. All the files have the same base, the filename of the ts file, without the extension.

If I delete the recording the .ts and all the files generated by comskip are deleted, but my mp4 is not deleted.

Should it be deleted? Is there a script/hook or something that I can use to delete extra files when I delete a recording?

Hello, recently I posted issues changing channels with Colossus card using STB and IR Blasting and DVB-T channels, and the audio issues I was encountering.
Specifically, upon changing channels from Colossus STB sources with different audio parameters OR from Colossus STB channel to DVB-T channel with different audio parameters..... that Nextpvr would throw up a decoder error stating that a particular codec like AC3 or AAC was not installed. (when they are)

After lots of testing, I thought I would post an update.
So, basically I have things working pretty good, with channel changing working reliably between Colossus STB channels and DVB-T channels.

It was suggested that I needed to have an IR blasting script, to add a delay. After much testing, in my configuration, this seems to make little or no difference whatsoever, to the decoder errors that Nextpvr throws up when doing the above.

Here is what I have observed. The decoder error (loss of audio) ONLY occurs when using the mini guide (whats on now) gui menu.
(ie. when a channel is currently playing, and you press cursor up/down button to bring up the mini guide to select and change to a different channel.)
When changing to a channel (either STB or DVB-T that contains different audio parameters, Next PVR throws up a decoder error such as no AAC or AC3 decoder configured.

However, if I don't use the mini guide, and instead use the full guide to select a channel, and then STOP playback before changing to a different channel (even one with different audio parameters), then it works perfect every single time.

In a different thread, Sub said that he was considering a feature to allow the stream to stop before changing channels, to aid Colossus/HDPVR users, which currently it does not, for reasons of channel changing speed. I surmise this mini-guide channel changing from active to another channel is what Sub is meaning?.

Is there a way to stop playback of active channel when in the mini guide onscreen?.
It is this feature that is causing Nextpvr to throw up decoder errors/loss of audio when changing channels.

The work around is NOT to use the mini guide to change active channels, and to just use main guide, and stop playback before changing channels.
Now the odd thing, is that if I use the legacy/MS Demux option in settings, then the mini-guide channel changing works perfect.
However, media playback and skipping thru recordings/videos etc is 'not a great experience'.

Disabling the Legacy/MS Demux gives good media playback, but completely smegs up the mini-guide channel changing reliability.

Okay, that's my update.

Unable to scan sat Ip, I get the option to scan my local provider. It starts the scan but I dont get any channels I goes through the motion and shows it scanning the frequencys and also it has crashed my PC sometimes. I have tried the same settings on npvr v4 and it works fine and I get all channels

Recently updated both phone and tablet. Went from Nexus 5X on 8.1 to Pixel 3a on 10 and a Fire 7 HDX running a version of 7 to a Samsung sm-p200 running 9.

Both are having general app slowness issues like guide and recording thumbnails loading. The Pixel interface is also pink for some reason. But the main problem is that whenever a transcode is started from one of these devices, ffmpeg just stops in the task manager on server machine after about 10 seconds and the video stops on the playback device.

I've tried going back to the old devices and everything works fine (except live tv transcode stopping after 30 min but always been like that).

Is there anything I can do to get playback on these devices working? Will this be addressed in the eventual update?

Wasn't sure whether to attach logs because when I looked at the modified timestamp on the log files nothing seems to have updated when I initiate playback from these devices.

im haveing problems with web app on both lg tv on web browser

i can log in, but my channels list doesnt show up in tab menu , my tv guide shows up epg ect but it wont alow me to select any channels ? or evan get the sub directory. can any one help. i have attached my logs.

Do you guys have any info for mounting an external drive?

I'm using fstab

UUID=F0E5-E1234 /media/recordings exfat defaults,auto,umask=000,users,rw,uid=pi,gid=video 0 0


I think I figured out how to change the group to video but the other commands I'm unable to run on the external.

Thanks!

I run comskip on the recordings, and use the PVR addon to connect to the latest NextPVR v5 docker image.

Are the comskip files supposed to be used by the PVR component?

If I convert the TS to mp4, and play the recording, mp4 file, outside of the PVR, directly from the NAS using KODI the comskip files are used, if I play the TS file the comskip files are not used - I guess this is kodi design.

My main issue is if I play the Recording using the PVR add-on the comskip files are ignored, is this really expected?
