System: Unraid NAS V6.6.7 running with LibreELEC Linux Kernel version 4.13.20 on an Intel i7 processor, 16GB of Ram.
Tuner: Hauppage WinTV-HVR-2210 PCIe card, Dual Tuners on Terrestrial Antenna - Waikato NZ Region (Te-Aroha Transmitter).
Passed through card to NextPVR docker container with the parameter --device=/dev/dvb, so it can see the DVB-C and DVB-T tuner adapters.

When I chose a DVB-T adapter and press the "scan channels" button, the scan digital channels dialogue box appears, but the is a blank pull-down box and pressing the "scan channels" button next to that does nothing. Now I am stuck. :confused:

FYI: I configured a Plex docker container on the same system and I can scan for channels and view Live TV, so I know my hardware is good. I then disabled that from Plex so it does not interfere with the NextPVR installation.

I have my satellite stuff set up, and decided to add some iptv stuff (m3u8 and xmltv guide), and it seems like, correct or not, when asked to updated the guide, it updates for satellite then updates for iptv, but after its finished the satellite guide update, it says its finished, even though according to the nextpvrserver window its still busy slaving away adding info to the iptv epg guide. Should it do that.

Hello,

I initiated a thread on this topic over on the OSMC forums and they advised me to try over here before pursuing the "nuclear" option of removing ~/.kodi data. (I'm not a techie, especially not a Linux techie, so I'm not even sure what that means.) Anyway, here is the problem I've experienced:

I recently had to rescan my OTA channels due to spectrum repacking. I went through the process in NPVR on my Windows 10 “server” then validated that all was well when watching TV through NPVR. All channels showed up in the EPG (I use Schedules Direct) with correct information about the programming and all channel logos displayed correctly. (One logo changed; I placed the new logo into the appropriate NPVR directory on the server.)

I also have Kodi Leia, using NPVR, running on the server that’s running NPVR. I started it and confirmed that all was well within Kodi, too. All channels showed up in the EPG, all programming information appeared correct, and the channel logo that had changed was displaying correctly.

Then I fired up OSMC, which is connected via wifi to the server, and rebooted it to ensure (I thought) it was getting the latest information from the server. Evidently it was not. One channel is not showing in the “Guide” display, but all of them are showing in the “Channels” display. Moreover, some programming information is incorrect in the Channels display (the programming information for the channel missing from the OSMC Guide display is for a different channel in the OSMC channels display). Finally, OSMC was not picking up the correct channel logos from the server. In particular, one in particular that had changed continued to show the “old” logo for that channel, even though it should no longer be accessible to NPVR because I changed its file name to "Not Used".

In case it’s relevant, if I try to tune to the channel that is showing in the Channels display but not in the Guide display on OSMC, it takes considerable time, with significant buffering. Eventually, it does tune to the channel.

Until this rescan, I had no trouble with Guide and related data in OSMC, and virtually no buffering tuning to and watching live TV.

I've zipped and attached NPVR logs. In case OSMC logs might be helpful, you'll find them here: https://paste.osmc.tv/cuyosacoya

One other point that might be helpful: I did the rescan in NPVR twice. I have 6 tuners. I rescanned tuner 1 and noted (manually) which channels had changed. I left the unchanged ones alone and unchecked the "old" channels that changed. Then I deleted all channels from the remaining 5 tuners and, one at a time, opened them to configure them, and answered the question about copying over settings "Yes". After finishing that the first time, NPVR threw an exception that was picked up by Windows. I didn't write it down (I'm sorry), but I believe there was an address out of range. The text indicated that the application might be able to manage the exception, so I pressed on. With the process complete, I proceeded to check channels and EPG in NPVR and Kodi and all was well. The above problem occurred in OSMC.

Because of the problem I had in OSMC, and the exception that was thrown, I decided to complete the scan again from scratch. This time, I deleted all channels from all six tuners, then rescanned the first one and deselected channels I was not interested in. Then I used the same process to "copy" the settings to my other 5 tuners. This time, no exceptions were thrown. I re-ran the checks and got the same results, thus my post.

Thanks very much for any assistance.

Recently the NextPVR client is not showing any new saved or pending recordings, with the last recording being May 28th. However, the database file shows new recordings being saved, and new recordings being scheduled with EPG updates. Also, my custom application which reads the database in order to facilitate playing recordings in MPV can see and play these new recordings without issue.

When I added up all of the ready recordings from the NextPVR client, I got a total of 1001, though I may have accedently added an extra 1 when counting three or four series in a row having only one recording. Based on this, it appears that the NextPVR client is reading only the first 1000 scheduled recordings it finds when populating the recording section. Is there anything which can be done to increase this amount, or possibly allow unlimited recordings?

When checking the web interface, it appeared to not have this issue.

I imported my IPTV stations and removed the ones I wasn't interested in, but many of them are showing up in the Android App. The don't show up in the Kodi plugin, or the web gui, just the Android app.

I'm using the Docker v5 backend (which has been working awesome by the way)

Installed V5 and it is running in a terminal window, Is that correct or did I go wrong somewhere? Can't say I have seen anyone else mention it.

If I close the window server goes down, otherwise with terminal open is connecting to Kodi OK

On a clean install of latest NPVR NextPVRServer.exe crashes and closes almost immediately. Eventually managed to catch error message before shutdown as no log created.

To cut a long story short the following files are missing!:-

config.xml or Config-master-dont-edit.xml
npvr.db3 or empty.db3

There are no files at all in NPVR-data directory. After copying missing files from other computer NextPVRServer.exe starts without error.

Hi,
I downloaded the OSX version of the NextPVR v5 beta and it looks very promising but unfortunately didn't get that far with testing it with OTA channels in Australia. I'm on High Sierra using an HDHomerun network tuner. The HDHR is detected and all the channels show up in a scan but I don't seem to be able to populate either the channel guide or view live TV. I am using theDVB/ATSC guide which is freely available in Australia and shows up in the HDHR app, but it never populates the TV guide.
If I try to watch live TV when I click on a channel to open the player I get an Error Starting Transcode: Internal Server Error which appears in the player window.

While playing around I also got a few error dialogs show up and my terminal window also has a number of error messages. I have saved the log file if you would like to have it

I have a few files in my Video folder that when I have tried to search for Metadata there are numerous options.
I have selected the one I thought was most probable, but then found it was the wrong one.
I have tried to select another but it keeps reverting to the first one I selected.
Is there anyway to Simply (onus on the simply) delete all traces of the metadata and any links to it from NPVR so that I can find and select the correct option??
Many thanks
Bob

When we do a clean install of Windows and NextPVR we only need to copy the database and config file to get up and running again. Will it be possible to do this when we are ready to stop using V4 and go over to using V5?
