I'm testing an add-on under Kodi 19 for compatibility with Python 3. Your current client is incompatible with version 19. Do you have a basic PVR add-on that is compatible with Kodi version 19? I'm running nextPVR version 4.2.4 on my backend Windows server.

Thank you in advance

System:
Win 7
HDHomerun Extend
NextPVR (fresh install)


Symptom:
"Update EPG" - displays TV guide for the next 2 hours. After that "no show details"
EPG guide in Samsung TV (with the same OTA feed) shows data for next several days.

Solved: In HDhomerun app, changed BDA compatibility from "NextPVR" to "MediaPortal"

Live TV worked OK on the PC I am using as my V5 test server. The problem started when I plugged the disk into my V4 server and copied over the V4 config and database. Live TV plays for several minutes then stops. There are errors in the logs relating to the Live TV buffer. Logs enclosed. Live TV starts 16:29:02 and stops at 16:34:16.

The only way to get the disk back working in the V5 test server is to delete and reinstall V5, copy the original test server database over and run NextPVRServer.exe to regenerate the original working test server.

I have tried creating other directories for the TV buffer and changing permissions!

I've been struggling with channel logos since rescanning for channels due to spectrum repacking. With your help, I've made progress, but right now, my problem is that Kodi is not getting channel logos for two channels (out of 34) from NPVR. All of the rest of the logos make it to Kodi and are displayed properly there. Moreover, all guide data is correctly reflected in Kodi.

Within NPVR, all logos (including the ones missing from Kodi) and program information show up correctly in the channel guide. Here is some more detail.

I'm running NPVR and Kodi on the same Windows 10 desktop PC.

For NPVR, I maintain a folder of channel logo icon files in C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Media\Channels. The names I've given to these files correspond to the "Name" reported in NPVR at Settings>Channels.

For Kodi, these icons eventually get deposited in C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\addon_data\pvr.nextpvr.

After a scan for channels in NPVR, I manually assign logos to each channel by appropriately naming the files in the ...\Media\Channels folder. The I delete all channel logo files from the ...\pvr.nextpvr folder to force a refresh when I start Kodi. The only file remaining in this folder after the deletion is the "settings" file.

Upon starting Kodi, all logos show up correctly in the Channels and Guide displays except two. On checking the ...\pvr.nextpvr folder, I can see that the logos for these channels are not there. They did not "transfer" from NPVR like all the other channel logos did.

I went back to NPVR and ensured that these channel logo icon files were assigned the correct names. One of the missing channels had the name KTXD-DT on the NPVR Settings>Channels screen. When I highlighted that channel and selected details, I noted that the name given in the general section was KTXDDT (without the hyphen) and the "mapping" given in the EPG source section was 47.1-KTXDDT. Since NPVR seemed to be associating two names to this channel, I put it's logo into the ...\Media\Channels directory twice -- once with each name. Then I deleted all the logos from ...\pvr\nextpvr and started Kodi again. The logo in question did not show up, and was not present in ...\pvr.nextpvr.

The second missing channel logo did not have conflicting names in Settings>Guide and Details, so I couldn't think of anything else to do.

I've zipped and attached logfiles.

Thanks very much for any help, or please advise if I need to take this to the Kodi forum. (Or, perhaps, to just give up! )

does v5 support analog tuners? The analog tuners shows up in v4 but not v5.

Thanks

NextPVR is once again proving how unruly it can be when the recording count exceeds 10,000.

This time, it says recordings failed when they didn't really fail, and now I want to know how to un-fail them so that I can actually watch them.

If I have to manually edit the database myself to make NextPVR realize that they succeeded, please tell me what values I need to alter.

Is there a way to display the channel numbers down the side in nextpvr.exe, as it only shows the name.

Also, playing iptv channels in nextpvr.exe, the sound is, just bad, like noise is somehow added to it, but plays ok in localhost:8866. I think from memory it was OK in v4 and I have the same decoder settings as v4 (hopefully).

What are the rules NPVR uses to determine if it can use Series and Episode information?
i.e. which part of the EPG data is checked for SxxExx data?

What format must the SxxExx be in? (i.e. are S01E01 or S1E1 or S01 E01 valid?)

I ask because I have "avoid duplicates if possible" ticked and some recurring recordings aren't getting scheduled although they are not duplicates and there is no unique program ID in the OTA EPG data.
There is however a S9E03 in the programme description but it's not getting used for the file name (and that file name option is ticked too).

Just trying to understand why it decides a programme is a duplicate when it's not.

I've noticed for the past few weeks my GUIDE isn't being updated automatically.
It appears to me that updateEPG.bat isn't being executed during my auto-scheduled morning update.
If I click on the update button in the settings screen it works.

What would I look for in the log files to try to solve the problem?
I searched for "updateEPG" but nothing is found.
I'd like to try to troubleshoot the problem myself.

EDIT: I was looking in the wrong log file

I am unable to populate my guide data. I was able to log into schedules direct and select lineups. When I force an update to the guide data the console is spammed with the following in the attached picture.[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

Thanks!
