This may be a request, but I don't suppose there is a way I can manual record without using Kodi or Nlite?
I have thousands of channels which makes it a nightmare on NLite to search through each of them to find a channel, and would be much better on the web panel which is my main interface.
I am running 4.2.4 and recently began having issues with my EPG. I have an active subscription to Schedules Direct. As I am updating the EPG, I receive the following message when seeking data for channels 0-10. Channels 11 - 29 work as expected. I have cleared the EPG and then attempted to update many times. Any suggestions of where to begin?
I have Verizon FIOS STB that produces 1080p connected to Colossus 2 via HDMI. If I record a .ts with Hauppauge Capture, Mediainfo shows that the .TS file is "Progressive". If I record same thing with NPVR, Mediainfo shows that the .TS file is "Interlaced". I observed there is no 1080p "Mode" in the current config file. Is is possible to have NPVR record in 1080P? Am I missing something?
Using Hauppage PC card. Used to update but not anymore on several channels. Ran channel update on Hauppage client and it works fine but when switching the NPVR several channels not updated and no video. Go to details to update EPG but no help.
Several times in the past few days, I have found the NPVR Service in a 'Stopped' state and have had to Start it again. This has caused a number of programme recordings to be missed. This morning it has happened again. Is there anything I can do to prevent this behaviour? Has anything changed recently to cause this - I have been a user of NextPVR for a couple of years (and have donated), but have not encountered this problem before about two weeks ago.
So far what works under Linux NextPVR
OS
Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS and PoP!_OS 19.04
A out of the box experience (Just flat out work)
WinTV-dualHD USB ATSC
WinTV HVR-1800 ATSC
WinTV quadHD ATSC
A not so out of the box experience
WinTV HVR-2250 ATSC testing it right now, It pain getting drivers working but final manage to get NextPVR to pick up channel on scan
Up coming Plan Tuner
???
More to come
Post what have working and problem you may run in to like drivers and firmware install
Hello. Pretty new Nextpvr user here.
Been messing around with the software for a week now. Had some issues with IR blasting, but a post or 2 later, and the experts on this forum got me sorted.
I had quite a bit of issues getting my STB working right, and would keep losing audio after channel changing between channels that contained AC3 audio, which would result
in recordings with no audio. Finally worked out that my STB (NZ MySkyHDi box) defaulted to outputting Dolby Digital AC3 by default.
My capture card is a Hauppauge Colossus, and NPVR just does not work correctly detecting audio streams, regardless of Decoders used.
What happens, is that it falsely detects the audio as AAC in the first instance, and then pops up error saying I have no AAC decoder selected. (but I do)
If I stop playback, and select channel again, it correctly detects the AC3 audio.
I would like to have the best audio stream, but having Dolby Digital selected on the MySkyHDi causes a lot of issues for my configuiration, and basically makes the PVR functions unreliable.
I also have Mediaportal TVServer, and it does not have issues on the local MP client itself, but remote clients like Kodi etc do the same thing, and can not detect audio on the first attempt, but do on the second attempt.
To cut a long story short, I had to change the MySkyHDi audio output setting from Dolby Digital to 'Auto'
Doing so gives me perfect channel changes for the STB channels and retains audio when changing channels.
(am guessing this is an issue with Hauppauge drivers)
Question 1: Does this mean I will not get surround sound, or it that it is surround sound, but just not Dolby Digital?
Question 2: Now, I have the opposite issue with DVB-T channels that contain an AC3 audio stream.
Is it possible for Nextpvr to always play the AC3 stream from DVB-T channels like NZ TV1, TV2, TV3 etc?
By default it always plays the HE-AAC audio stream, but right clicking and selecting Audio Stream gives option of AC3 stream, which if chosen triggers my AVR to show 'Dolby Digital'. Is the HE-AAC audio stream 'Surround'?, or is there something I am overlooking?, like can Nextpvr not play the 'best' audio by default?
I, and I assume others, would like to be able to have full permissions to the recording folders and their files. Right now the owner of the folder and the recording are nextpvr and no write permissions are granted for either folder or file. Can you make the file permissions 777 for the folders and files so we can run comskip and store the edl in the folder or compress them to MP4 and replace the original? Or publish the password for user nextpvr? What are your thoughts on this?
