When I try start a channel to watch a show it just blank screen on Chrome but on both iPhone and iPad they seem be working

backend: Win10 NPVR,
frontend: RPi3 Kodi + NPVR addon

Timeline:
12:30 pm: TV show started recording. (will end at 2 pm)
12:35 pm (5 min into recording): I start playing the recording from beginning
12:40 pm: The play suddenly stops. (This is at 5 min mark). I resume playing at 5 min mark. At this time, the TV show has 10 minutes of recording
12:45 pm: The play stops again.

How to fix so that it continues to play while recording?

PS: I tried live TV but it would not go back to the beginning of show.

I am running NextPVR on windows 10 - 64 bit. My transmitter is Meridian Hannington.

I have a WinTV Dual HD and have both Hauppage WinTV software installed as well Next PVR.

Channel 726 on this transmitter is BBC Radio Solent. If I use the Hauppage Win TV software the channel plays normally.

If I use NextPVR the sound is like chipmunks and sounds as though it is double speed (or similar) and then there are gaps before the chipmunks resumes.

Channels 722, 723, 724 and 727 demonstrate the same abnormality. Others may do so as well.

As the sounds is right through other software using the same hardware I believe this is a problem with NextPVR.

I realise the explanation is lacking and I am not sure logs would aid fact finding.

Sub,
Just wanted to catch your attention with my thread title
Anyhow, I'm wondering how difficult it would be for you to add a subtitle feature, similar to how PLEX does it.
If I start a show in PLEX that I've downloaded, I can just click on subtitles and it will automatically find it and begin using it.
As it is now in NPVR I have to go to the subtitles web site and search for the subtitle to match my download, and then put it in the same directory as the show, then rename it to match the show before I can see it.
The PLEX method is really great, but I would rather be using NPVR.
Thanx.

Hi,

I'm on Windows 7 with Kodi 18.3, NextPVR add-on 3.3.15 and NextPVR back-end 4.2.4 (190307) on the same PC.

First, thanks a lot for NextPVR, i'm a new user switching from Argus (that i used for years) and it seems great !

My issue :

If i add a recording rule from Kodi, type "repeat keyword" : L'hebdo de la musique :



Kodi doesn't found any programs :



But if i launch NextPVR and select the reccuring recording i created : "find all", it found programs :



I thing the issue is related to the accent because if i search the same keywords without it : "hebdo de la musique" :



Kodi find programs :



Can you help me with this issue ?

Thanks

NextEnd for v5 is available on the NextPVR wiki.  It was bit tricky because the v4 release required an external dll for JSON and I had to hunt down the source.  I also wanted to see if I could figure out how to distribute a minimum installation using NextPVR's files which works on all environments without requiring all the files that a typical .netcore app requires. 

For those that don't know what NextEnd is I refer you to the wiki for information and usage instruction https://github.com/sub3/NextPVR/wiki/NextEnd


Installation instructions

A. If you install the Windows Netcore 3.1 runtime on Window 64 or use any other platform 

1. Unzip attached zip file into a folder Plugins/NextEnd in the v5 user data folder.  Case is important outside windows.  I kept the v4 upper case, but that will likely change.
2. If you aren't running in C:\Program Files\NPVR  edit NextEnd.runtimeconfiguration and change the C:\Program Files\NPVR to your binary folder keeping the trailing blanks
3. On linux it might be tougher you also need to run this

I talk about my NextPVR backend well here is what I live with now with v4 and v5. It used to be quite organized but during testing of v5 it became a bit of a disaster as I have been switching things around so much and testing too many combinations (this picture is actually from a webcam hooked into v5 on linux). It doesn't help that I have to walk a ways to get there, glad I can do most things with ssh, rdp and vnc.

USB and network devices are convenient but PCI used to hide most of this.

They talk about cutting the cord. I have a few.

Hello, pretty new user here.
Have had some issues getting NextPVR working with my STB and Hauppauge Colossus card.

The issues are not yet resolved, so am just about to give up.

Basically what is occurring, is that most of the time, when I change channels from one containing DD (AC3) to a channel with PCM audio (stereo), I lose audio.
Similarly, the same happens when I change channel from one containing PCM to one containing DD, the audio disappears.

It was suggested to me, that the Colossus card needs some time to stabilize after changing channels, and that I should try a batch script, to delay the tuning to a different channel.

Well, have performed quite a bit of testing, and regardless of what delay I use (1-30 seconds) , it actually makes no difference whatsoever, as to whether the audio is present or not.

What happens is that NPVR will pop up an error message saying that there is no AAC codec present, when changing from a channel with DD, to one with PCM.
Similarly, NPVR pops up a message saying there is no AC3 codec present, when changing from a channel with PCM, to one with AC3 audio stream.

I tried configuring all the AC3 channels to use SPDIF, and all the PCM channels to use RCA audio input.
Same issue occurs, and audio disappears.

I tried installing another Hauppauge Colossus2 card, and setup all the AC3 channels on the Colossus card, and all the PCM channels on the Colossus2 card.
Same issue occurs, and audio disappears.

I tried changing to every audio codec known to man (grin) (this man anyways), and all different audio renderers.
Same issue occurs, and the audio disappears.

It works a lot better when using Kodi as client, but when using NextPVR as local player, it loses audio every single time I change between channels with different audio streams.

The weird thing is, if I use Mediaportal TVserver and it's local client MediaPortal, channel changes work perfectly when switching channels with DD and PCM audio.
Same Colossus driver, same codecs (LAV).

Have attached logs in hope that something can be discovered.

Hi - trying to setup using my SD account. Am on the Settings\Guide screen. Have added my SD ID/pwd. Clicking Add SD Channel Lineup, then entering my zip code and selecting North America - United States. Clicking the Search button doesn't seem to do anything. Also tried similar from Settings\Channels. Baffled. Help? Thanks.

Hi all. Thanks for reading.

I've just installed a Hauppage WinTV-dualHD tuner that worked fine running the included software and then I installed NextPVR. It had no trouble scanning channels, seemed to work for about a second, and then live TV blinked out and I can't get anything but a black screen. I've tried all hte decoders I have, including Microsoft DTV-DVD, LAV, and a couple others.

Now, if I try and use the original Hauppauge software I get nothing but a black screen too. I've tried deleting and reinstalling to no avail.

I'm attaching my log files (I think.)

Any help would be really appreciated. Bought the tuner as my birthday gift. Bummer so far.
