If I now decide to say bugger it and uninstall v4 and install v5 on Windows, is any info retained eg settings, channels logos, and particularly program artwork ?
I would be interested in using & testing v5, but there are a small number of plugins that I have used for years, that have not been updated for a long time - I guess people have moved on.
Movies - is a thing of beauty and keeps control of over 350 Blurays on my server in various genres. vic hasn't been around on the forum for a long time.
AutoRefresh - uses MediaInfo (a very old dll, newer ones don't work) to set the video output to a suitable matching refresh rate, to stop juddery video. System - provides a system overview of recordings, drives, active tuners, basic hardware monitoring, and power options. imilne still pops in to the forum but doesn't appear to be doing any development.
Web Radio - still mostly works - if I remember to not update VLC. maybe Martin will release a replacement for v5 sometime?
Also there is the "Custodian of the Remote" who should not be upset
First, thanks for doing this! I look forward to see if it's a better option than TVH or Emby for live tv.
Second, a few questions --
1. What is the channel tune/change speed for HDHomeRun prime users? I could test this myself but your clients are $7 each and I don't really want to pay that just as a test. Wish there were some trial options available on those.
2. When does the EPG update? I setup my 6 HDHomeRun prime tuners and mapped my channels but the guide is still empty. I don't see any UI to trigger this. Does it happen automagically?
Hey sub at first I getting "No usable version of the libssl was found Aborted (core dumped)" I have PoP_OS 19.04 Install
So any one has Ubuntu 19.04 clone you may need to install this http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/m..._amd64.deb
So take it that it not GUI ver of NextPVR like the reg Windows
I would like to try testing V5 Beta on a windows client machine on which V4 is already installed as a client that uses a different machine as the server.
Is this permitted?
I've unzipped the download into folder NPVRV5. I hesitate to launch NPVRServer.exe. What happens when it executes? Will it disrupt my client connection to my current server? What happens to client NRecord.exe? Does the launch also create the User folder? Will that clobber the current V4 client setup?
Your install instructions state that the port should be changed to something other than 8866. Does this mean the port V5 will use? I'm guessing that a new config.xml will be created to allow the port change since there is now no config.xml.
On my V5 test server, I'm trying to add one of the HDHR Prime CableCard tuners.
For some reason, my main (original) SD lineup for the local cable lineup wasn't listed. (It also wasn't listed in V4, so that must be something weird/old.) Anyway, I went ahead and tried doing Add Schedules Direct Lineup. And the window prompts for username and password even though that info has already been entered and is being used. (So I cheated and went to the v4 server and added the lineup there.)
Then when I selected the correct lineup and clicked Scan, I got an error saying "Unable to download channel lineup. The given path's format is unsupported." See the pdf with the screen capture of the message in the logs zip.
Over the last 6 months or so I've been busy working on the next generation of NextPVR software. The primary goal of v5 was to making the it possible to run NextPVR on other platforms. We've made good progress with that, and now have an application we'd like to get more people testing it. Today I've posted public beta information, for those that are interested in giving it a go.
Is it exactly the same as v4? No. Unlike previous versions, the setup and configuration is done using a web application. Where possible I've reused stuff, so there is a lot of familiar aspects to NextPVR v5, but there is also a lot of new stuff and things that needed to be done different ways...so there is definitely some learning curve for getting started with the new application.
Does it work with other clients, like Kodi, or the iOS/Android apps? Yes. In general it works the same with Kodi, the iOS apps, Apple TV app, and Android app. For those who were using the X-NEWA addon for Kodi, you'll need to update to the knewc addon which replaces it. Emby will need an updated plugin, which will be provided shortly.
I am asking because I usually shut down my computer when I am going to be away for several days or more.
Then when I return I am greeted with a long list of failed recordings because the recording service was (obviously) not active at the scheduled recording times.
After manually deleting the failed recordings, all is well again.
So I was wondering if there is a way to manually suspend/pause all scheduled NPVR recordings for my "away" time, other than deleting them from the scheduled recordings list?
