Hi - just installed v5 for the first time on a fresh Windows 10 PC (never had NextPVR on it). Got it setup with my IPTV provider and works fine from the same pc, but can't connect to it from any other device on my local network. Using Kodi add-ons plus a Shield TV third-party app. Not seeing any specific error messages other than unable to connect. Have also tried with firewall disabled on the Win10 pc, but no difference. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi to all members here I am a newbie to this so i would like some help please thanks.. I have a Hauppauge WinTV HVR 2250 card on my gaming computer (OS win 7 pro / 16gb ram/ gpu 770 card) useing it for 6 analog channels but i want to share it online to friends and family who can not get the stream online my question is i need to know how to setup the sever side and the client side with the server side where it uses a user name and a password to access all 6 channels thanks for the help in advace...

I use DVBGuide to load the EPG data and it has worked flawlessly for several years, but since the 5th it has been failing with "NIT not found" and not writing out the XML file.

I use the command "DVBGuide -as -c11427830 -ph -mQPSK -s27500000 -y3002 -z3003 -g c:\ChannelLogos -o freesat_epg.xml"

Has something changed in Freesat that I need to amend the above ??

NPVR is 4.2.4

Thanks in advance,
Dave

Hi I'm new and have a few questions. I'll try to be concise..

My wife has a HP laptop with Win 7. She's been using an old usb Avermedia Volar Max along with Media Center for a long time (US ATSC). Times are changing and I've convinced her to let me replace Win with Mint Cinnamon. I've been using Mint for almost 2 yrs myself and so I'll be doing a complete wipe and installing Tina.

Can't use the Volar Max so I've ordered WinTV-dualHD 1595 from Amazon. This looks to be the safest bet for working.

As far as I'm reading I could either use either 4.15 default kernel and just have one working tuner, grab 5.0 if I want to use both, or use the ppa and let Hauppage take care of it, correct?

Now it (looks) to me that NextPVR is about the most sensible solution for software but I don't know. Certainly not going to shell money for Plex pass and mythtv is pretty hard to set up (I've read). She doesn't need a ton of features, just the ability to play tv, and have a decent guide to set recording. I just wish this could stay fairly simple. I'm reading stuff about front end and back end, I more or less get the concept but could this 5.0 beta NextPVR be a total solution? If not, I'm all ears for anything else. If it's more complicated than this I guess I'll just have learn more.

when I select bbc1 hd by default it uses stream track 1 (MPEG1,NAR) . I have to manually change to track 2 (AC3, eng) every time. Is there a way to make track 2 (AC3, eng) default when I select this channel ?

I am using NextPVR w/ IPTV as a tuner. My PC that hosts NextPVR has a VPN running. I have several client/android TV boxes running Kodi.

Since my host PC is running a VPN, to I need to also have my client ATV boxes to run a VPN as well?

My thought is that if my host is routing the traffic through a VPN, my clients should be safe when viewing IPTV content.

Is that accurate? Or should I be running VPN's all round?

Thanks!

In UK and using 4.2.4 under Win10 1809 on a Dell T3610, Radeon RX480 with latest driver.

Std over air EPG.

The problem I have is that for periods of time if I select a channel via the NPVR EPG to view by either using a dbl-click and play or Ctrl+P I just get a black screen and no audio. Hit Esc and goes back to the EPG.

If I can find a channel that does play - usually BBC1 SD or HD (1/101) then typing in another channel number works straight way. And I can move to virtually any channel the same way once I have one running. Going back to the EPG and selecting what was running fails. Also when there is a black screen, typing a channel number in usually results in a freeze.

Preselected recording setups via the EPG are always okay.

This has been going on for some time but I do not recollect it happening on previous versions of NPVR.

Any ideas on curing this are most welcome thanks. I do have NPVR setups available from 3.4.8 through to 4.0.5/4.1.0. Would codecs have any effect here? Video does freeze occasionally but sound keeps going.

I've just had the problem - at 15:51:30 i tried to play C5 via Ctrl+P (working otherwise) and it failed to black screen. At 15:52:30 I hit Esc and returned to the EPG. Attached is the log for that period....

Seems to be a bit of a prob with the guide. Times are wrong in localhost 7:007:00 8:00 8:00. Think someone else mentioned this somewhere ? Also timing is about 3 hours out vs nextpvr.exe. I think its doing a guide update at the moment so I'll see if anything changes.

btw I tried to do a guide update half an hour ago but it was like it did a xml guide update but apparently wouldn't do a dvb-s update, or it did it was over in about half a second, which is pretty unlikely.

I see no tuners when looking at NPVR "Show status". Also get "Unable to communicate with recording service" when trying to watch live tv. The tuner is available and I have scanned channels using NPVR successfully.

Used NPVR last week without problems. I have installed a VPN service but I don't think that's the cause?!?!

The error in the log starts at "Unexpected socket exception calling StartStream(): System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (0x80004005): The requested address is not valid in its context 127.0.0.1:8968"

Any ideas?

I have tried restarting, stopping recording service. I have even uninstalled and re-installed NPVR. My tuner is available in device manager.

Thank you.

Where do the scan templates get installed from? Like /usr/share/dvb/atsc/us-ATSC-center-frequencies-8VSB-062009

I deleted mine in the hopes that a re install would fix my scanning problem, but they did not reappear.
