As someone who's keen to get functionality working on an iPhone and Android TV (beyond kodi), do you know when the apps will be updated to support NextPVR v5?
Downloaded version 4.x and install it. It stopped installing at the npvr.exe and a window came up. It stated: server database not found at: \\hushpc\npvr\npvr.db3. I clicked ok and it resumed the setup. I started the npvr.exe and the same message appears. I tried settings and it still appears. I can't get the program to open to reset the location and when I set up the location manually it did not work. Any suggestions?
New here - would appreciate some help.
Can someone explain to me in simple terms how to get the EPG to populate for 14 days please. And also how to change the default update time from 2am to 10pm
When trying to backup my NEXTPVR library with a simple copy command, when it hits the *.ts files I get the error message "element not found" although the other files copy without issue. I am also unable to copy using Explorer even to the same directory. It appears to read the entire file without issue and when it hits the last byte it gives the error.
This is hosted on a local NAS, using an NTFS share, which the files play perfectly and are deleted when I want them gone via the app.
I trieded stopping the NEXTPVR service in case it was locking the files without luck.
Has anyone come accross the same issue and if so how have you worked around this.
I am using the current NPVR v4.2.4, HDHomeRun Prime and RPi3 Kodi v18.x
I just added HBO, Showtime and a couple of others to my lineup. I re-scanned with HDHomeRun Setup and HDHR finds the new channels just fine, however, NPVR does not import in the new channels. Is there something different between the premium channels and the normal cable channels?
I'm in the process of re-scanning, so I don't have current logs. Scan's take a long time to complete, but I'll try to get logs as quickly as I can.
This looks excellent. When I changed from recording on a Windows PC to recording on RPi (less power consumption for an always-on computer), I had to switch to TVHeadend which does a good job but has a couple of deficiencies:
- lack of GUI EPG (table of programmes as channels versus times/dates): not as easy to see overlapping programmes with a long list of events on all channels
- lack of intelligent handling of overlaps: it can't tell you when you first schedule the overlapping programme, only when it actually tries (and fails) to record it, which is very naive
These are things that NPVR did very well - certainly on Windows.
When I've got some time, and when my Pi isn't busy recording anything on TVHeadend, I'll give it a try.
It happens that I occasionally want to record two multi-hour shows that run back-to-back on the same channel. I know from experience that in that long a period with no user input, my cable box is going to put up an "Are you still there? Press a button" overlay sometime during the second show and that recording will be ruined. What can I do?
I've tried putting a -1 minute post-pad on the first recording and then adding a 1-minute manual recording on some other channel between the two. NextPVR won't allow it, as it apparently thinks the first show is still recording and wants to cancel it.
I suppose I could turn the entire first recording into a manual recording, so NextPVR won't do that, but creating two manual recordings as a workaround is getting pretty inconvenient. Any other ideas on how I can force a retune between the two shows? Thanks.
