I'm trying to setup an Extras Device, using the template method. I started with a green setup (also anyway to remove old devices?) but used an already working xmltv. I have added the device and channels. The setup kicks off the batch file that changes channels and seems to start ffmpeg, but the temp file never grows and I get an error that the transcoder exited when I try to test live TV.
@echo 2nd-blast %1 >temp.blst
putty.exe -ssh "[redacted]"@192.168.1.108 -pw [removed my password too] -m .\temp.blst
"\Program Files\NextPVR\Other\ffmpeg.exe" -rtsp_transport tcp -i rtsp://192.168.1.114:8554/main/av -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f mpegts
rem del temp.blst
I know it's not deleting the temp blast file, it doesn't need to, I just thought of doing that while testing. The command for ffmpeg works just fine on its own, if I append a file destination it'll create a file of the stream. I've ran the batch (augmented too) I have also changed the nextpvr service to run as a network service. I noticed the extras instructions had an extra " - " at the end of the command but none of the examples I've seen have it.
Hi all,
I was having video issues (picture break up) so decided to acquire a new HTPC (Beelink EQ13). I set up NPVR using my USB backup drive as a D: drive and everything was fine. I then transferred my 2TB NVME data drive with all my recordings from the old PC to the new one where it appeared without issues as D:.
However, now, when I play the recordings, the video is slightly choppy and the audio is out of sync, although it does seem to catch up eventually. The audio on live TV is fine. I have just made a couple of test recordings and the audio on those seems fine, so it's just the old recordings (I have tried several, all the same issue).
I am using the NPVR windows client and a Hauppauge USB tuner. I have 32-bit LAV foilters installed and all decoders set to LAV. Logs attached.
Any thought/comments would be welcome. Thanks.
Stanno
Edit : PS - the new recordings are Homes Under The Hammer and Come Dine With Me The Professionals, others are previous ones.
Please move to another folder if more appropriate.
While processing the TS files i was trying to decide what to do with the original file and decided I would like them in
the Recycle Bin where they can stay until it is full and then disappear. I did the below on a Windows 11 PC.
1. Create a new local Windows user. I was able to make this work without it having admin privileges.
2. Log into that new acct and set the size of the recycle bin for the drive with the recordings.
Note that it is specific for that user and you will not see the file in the Recycle Bin from a different acct.
3. Install this module in PowerShell (one time) Install-Module -Name Recycle
Add line in your batch file where needed:
powershell -executionpolicy bypass "Remove-ItemSafely -path '%~dpn1.ts' "
4. Update the NextPVR service to run under the new acct and restart the service.
It seems to work fine with the acct not having admin.
I have a windows 10 and have not been able to complete the install. I have included the install log as a zip. The gist of it is:

Hi,
I just installed the latest 6.1.1 (221106) NPVR and cannot find any way to manually update the EPG. Help says it's in General settings, but I see nothing there, or anywhere else. Clicking on Device & Channels in the client just takes me to the web-based Settings page, and I can find nothing there.
Older versions had this. Has it been removed? I hope not - I used it all the time prior to setting up a recording as I don't leave my PC running 24/7, and don't have a set time I turn it on to set up an automatic update. I'd gladly go with a way to have it automatically update the EPG on startup if there's an option to do that.
FWIW, I have a USB TV tuner "stick" pulling in ATSC channels (38 total) that all show up in the Guide.
Hello. Recently, I've had to replace my computer motherboard. In rebuilding NextPVR, I was able to connect to the TV card (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2255) and rescan the channels. Prior to the motherboard change, I was able to watch and record all of the PBS channels (channels 11-1 thru 11-5) available in the Chicago area. After replacement, I am able ro reconnect to all the previous channels except PBS. I am running NPVR v6.1.5.231022 on a Win10 box. Any info/suggestions would be appreciated!
I am running a windows 11 vm in proxmox and I have a WinTV-HVR-955Q passed through to the vm. The tuner shows up in web client but when I try to scan for channels it goes through the process but never finds any channels. Anyone know how to fix this?
Ciao a tutti, circa un mese fa in Italia è stato attivato il primo mux in codifica DVB T2 hevc, ho notato subito che il cambio canale è molto lento (6/7 secondi) rispetto alle altre tecnologie (DVB T, DVB S2). E' normale oppure si può fare qualcosa a livello software (NextPVR, aggiornamento codec..) o hardware (aggiornamento firmware HD HOMERUN).
Grazie, Marco.
Hi,
My iptv provider uses rotating links for the stream which are fetched from a base url.
E.G ffmpeg connects to "https://someiptvprovider.com/streams/994724824708/" which returns "https://someiptvprovider.com/hls/hfsjfhiouf89f89f7fs8fg/index.m3u8
the issue with this is that the return url changes every 2 hours or so, causing ffmpeg to close and cut off my recordings,
I've tried to use some flags like "-reconnect" and "-reconnect_on_eof" and stuff like that, the issue is that these flags
try to reconnect to the redirected url instead of the one input into ffmpeg. there is a 7 year old bugtracker post about this
on ffmpeg's bugtracker, but it's still open and has no responses at all.
Is it possible to have some sort of xml line that checks if ffmpeg closed and restarts it to continue playing?
E.G
<reconnect>
reconnect=true
</reconnect>
I'm also open to other ideas to get the same result.
