Hello,

I'm using NPVR with dual Hauppauge HDPVR2 capture devices. Everything is working perfectly, except some channels won't display for me. I see the HDPVR fire up and stream, and NPVR shows the device as working, but the screen is blank. The only commonality I can think of is I think these channels are SD.

Is there a log or something I can review to see whats going on? (I'm new to NVPR)

Thanks!

Jason

Giday, new NextPVR user here trying the software.

Have successfully setup NextPVR, configured devices, EPG etc.

Am using Hauppauge DVB-T tuners and a Hauppauge colossus card with STB, and using the Colossus cards IR blaster.
(Have learned the IR codes of my STB)

Have all working fine using NextPVR interface, and guide is working, and the IR blasting is working to watch Analog channels from my STB using NextPVR on my PC.

However, I am encountering issues changing STB channels from a Kodi client running NextPVR addon.

I have successfully configured the Kodi NextPVR addon, and it imports the channels and guide.
But, when I choose one of the Analog STB channels in Kodi, it does not initiate the IR Blaster like it does when using the native NextPVR on my PC.
(it just plays one of the DVB-T channels)

Just wanted confirmation that IR Blasting should work when using Kodi NextPVR addon?, or does IR blasting only work on the local PC running NextPVR.

Also, do the channel numbers have to be unique?
ie. I have a DVB-T channel numbered '1' and also an analog STB channel named 'Sky TV 1' Is that OK?
(Have defined two groups in NextPVR 'Digital' and 'Analog'

Kinda perplexed as to why IR blasting aint working from the Kodi client. Is there something obvious I have overlooked?

Ok this is really bugging me, as I stated in another post I am having issues using nextpvr app when using outside my network, but now it's doing this on my own network. It only seems to do this on my samsung s9+ I have a FireStick 4k and works perfect on wifi. So why would this be doing it on my phone. I'll post some resent logs.

Thanks.

Hi, I'm using NextPVR 4.2.4 as a backend with Kodi clients as frontend. The NextPVR has two hardware tuners. Is there a way to dedicate one of the two tuners to live TV only? Currently, if two shows are scheduled to be recorded then recording always takes priority and live TV cannot be used. This is creating frustration within our household! Better yet, is there a way to allow both tuners to be used for recording, but if live TV is requested, can NextPVR be set to give live TV priority over recording?

Hi,

I'm experiencing issues getting TV playback to work in Kodi.

Playback via NextPVR is working.

In Kodi, selecting the channel results in an initial screen showing but freezing almost immediately. Kodi then crashes.

Attached are logs for kodi and NextPVR.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi.

Is there a way to determine when the last EPG autoupdate was completed successfully? Also, is there a file location for the EPG?

TIA

As the title suggests. You mentioned that it was open source but I can't find any source. I want to make a client for my 89 y.o. MIL that will only play the two or three channels that she actually wants to watch without having to wade through the other 60+ channels to find it. No layers of menu to wade through, no place she can get lost. Press channel down, it goes to the next channel, press left, it goes to the next channel, press OK, it goes to the next channel. Press any key at all and it goes to the next channel... It is so painful to teach her how to use firety + netflix (which she loves) over and over again. My main interest is seeing how to use c# + libvlc to play the content then add v5 calls to the linux backend.

Are their any plans to offer an AppImage? An AppImage can be used across all Linux distributions with a few steps. It is portable and does not require installing. A comparison with other portable Linux formats is listed below.

Hi All,
Im attaching a couple of images the left is my main PC build and the right is my HTPC (technicaly and Unraid VM but the problem im seeing i have seen on most other HW that isnt my main PC.

there is obviously nothing wrong with NPVR its done it on all versions it just so happens im running v4 on my pc and v5 in the VM

like i say i have seen this on my shuttle, another tower pc and this VM all have plenty of system resources to do the job.
Im using PCTV 291e USB tuners x2 in the UK

Somone had suggested power may be an issue but these are running directly off the motherboard or a PCI card it makes no difference.

Also the audio is choppy

Any ideas...

i'm running V5 on an Asus Chromebox with LibreELEC 9.1.001 (kernel:Linux 5.1.9) and Docker, with a Western Digital external harddrive. Everything works fine but when I shutdown or reboot I lose all of the settings.
To get it to work I had to SSH into it and use the following settings:

docker run -d \
> --volume /storage/pi/config:/config \
> --volume /var/media/sdb1-ata-WDC_WD5000AAKB-0/videos:/recordings \
> --volume /var/media/sdb1-ata-WDC_WD5000AAKB-0/videos:/buffer \
> --publish 8866:8866 \
> nextpvr/nextpvr_amd64:latest

I'm fumbling my way through this as I have no experience with Docker and minor use of Linux. I'm guessing that there's something wrong with the config location, but I'm lost after that.
Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.
