At our new house we get lousy DVB-T terrestrial reception with some multiplexes missing, so I've got a PCTV 461 DVB-S adaptor and I've done a scan on the 28.2 Sky/Freesat satellite for all channels. Most channels are detected, but some are missing: in particular TalkingPictures TV (Freesat 306). I can see the scanner trying 11538 MHz (the frequency for the multiplex that contains that channel) but no channels seem to be added for it.
Is it an outdated entry in \users\public\NPVR\Tuning\DVB-S\0282.ini? Are those ini files kept up-to-date to reflect any changes by Freesat?
How do I add a channel manually, and what parameters do I need to specify? I tried modifying an exisiting channel entry with frequency and H/V polarisation, but nothing plays on Live TV so I'm evidently missing something.
I've established that another package (the one that was supplied with DVB-S adaptor) can see that channel, so it's not a reception issue. Sadly that package doesn't find any EPG for any channel so I have to add channel-and-times entries manually.
I have NextPVR working with an HDHomeRun HDHR4-2US tuner. Works great. When I play the recorded .ts files within NextPVR or using the VLC media player, subtitles work fine. When I steam the TV recordings on the NextPVR build-in web server everything work great (guide, streaming, etc.), except that there are no subtitles on the streamed video. Clicking on the settings wheel does bring up a dialog box to choose sub-titles, but none are available to select.
What do I need to do to make sub-titles work on the streamed vide within the NextPVR web server?
I am haveing problems with npvr as a client on a separate machine from host on LAN. It only seems to be only on free sat channels. Client is getting an error saying no hardware detected . I am . Running npvr on the host machine on useing sat IP supplied from dvb viewer. It is all working on the dvbviewer side. I have even changed the streams from TCP to udp on dvb viewer side still no luck.
I actually had it working when I first set it up, then it stop working randomly! Free view channels are still working and there supplied in the same way.
Many times, I and others have tried to schedule a program for recording expecting the entry in the guide to turn red. But it doesn't and the program is not scheduled. No reason why. After long experience, I learned that one must execute NextPVR.exe with the -removehistory parameter to remove the item from the deleted history. The guide entry will now turn red and the program will be scheduled.
I'd like to suggest that when a user uses the guide to schedule a program, honor the request AFTER automatically deleting it from the delete history. Simply delete the entry whether or not it exists. Is there some other rationale for not doing this?
I've got everything set up and can use the NPVR GUI to watch on my local machine.
Ive also got it set up in Kodi so I can watch on all networked machines.
Using Kodi, the EPG takes quite a while to load.. Sometimes 2 minutes.
Can I load the NPVR GUI which loads very quickly on all machines as clients and connect them to my main local machine?
If yes, Is there a guide to show me how?
Sub looking at pvr.nextpvr code I was wondering if there was also an "Any Day" dayMask I could use with &day_mask= that Kodi doesn't enable? NUtility does have one.
Code:
std::string cPVRClientNextPVR::GetDayString(int dayMask)
{
std::string days;
if (dayMask == (PVR_WEEKDAY_SATURDAY | PVR_WEEKDAY_SUNDAY))
{
days = "WEEKENDS";
}
else if (dayMask == (PVR_WEEKDAY_MONDAY | PVR_WEEKDAY_TUESDAY | PVR_WEEKDAY_WEDNESDAY | PVR_WEEKDAY_THURSDAY | PVR_WEEKDAY_FRIDAY))
{
days = "WEEKDAYS";
}
else
{
if (dayMask & PVR_WEEKDAY_SATURDAY)
days += "SAT:";
if (dayMask & PVR_WEEKDAY_SUNDAY)
days += "SUN:";
if (dayMask & PVR_WEEKDAY_MONDAY)
days += "MON:";
if (dayMask & PVR_WEEKDAY_TUESDAY)
days += "TUE:";
if (dayMask & PVR_WEEKDAY_WEDNESDAY)
days += "WED:";
if (dayMask & PVR_WEEKDAY_THURSDAY)
days += "THU:";
if (dayMask & PVR_WEEKDAY_FRIDAY)
days += "FRI:";
}
return days;
}
Also how to I indicate a Timeslot recording just add the start and end timestamps?
About 4 years ago, the forum helped me set up NextPVR with Ceton InfiniTV 6 ETH and Comcast card using Schedules Direct
I thought SageDCT was another component but they may gone
I think I remember setting up one tuner.. Exporting channels and importing them to the other 5
This has been running great all these years
I just added a bunch more channels (from 79 to 230) to my Comcast Subscription and cant for the life of me remember how to add channels
I've logged on to Schedules Direct and selected the new channels. I can see the guide in the NextPVR EPG
Under Settings > Channels.. Something got jacked up because I now have 1987 channels and many triplicates
Can someone direct me to a guide that can help me sort this out again?
I've been using nextpvr for many years now for my OTA streaming and have recently added IPTV to the mix. I am noticing a weird issue though. I will be watching a show using an MPEGTS stream and it will after a short period of time loop back 30 seconds then get stuck in that loop until I restart the stream. HLS streams are noticeably worse for this issue. I'm not really sure how to troubleshoot this type of an issue and could use some help. I have attached my logs that captured the issue and can provide a direct link to my nextpvr instance if needed to further troubleshoot this issue.
Windows 10 computer running NextPVR 4.2.4 is not recognizing Kworld analog tuner, even after installing Hauppauge WinTV7. (Win TV8 would not install correctly.) After clicking "Devices" within NextPVR settings, no ATSC device is recognized.
The same version of NextPVR 4.2.4, running on another windows 10 computer, successfully recognizes the same KWorld analog tuner.
