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.

I finally have some log files for you to look at.

Thanks.

For V4, I have a Postprocessing.bat file for compressing recordings to .mp4's using ffmpeg. By tweaking the settings, I have been able to store and archive shows to a 1/3 of the storage space without sacrificing noticeable quality.

With V5 under a Linux environment, I am guessing I will have to translate the .bat files to Bash script?

I thought I would give V5 a try in parrellel to v4, so have installed it on my win64 machine in Program Files/NPVR
the software launches, discovers all my cards and loads the website
I then configured my folders & thought I would tune a channel or two to test on a kodi client.
However when I press scan channels its says device failed, I have tried with V4 running and with the service + nextpvr shutdown. same result each time.

I have attached my log file incase that helps.

Thanks for the good work, really like the webview

Thanks
