I have two hdhomeruns and when I go to the channel setup I notice that at least one channel that appears in hdhomeruns channel list does not appear in nextpvr's channel list. I'm using schedulesdirect as my EPG provider if that helps.
I clicked on devices in the setup dialog, followed by Scan but the channel does not appear in the scanned channels. Any idea what could be going on? I've attached the nextpvr log.

Hi sub what are the parameters to create an any channel recurring recording? I tried in Kodi 17 and it seems to look just like an EPG based recording.

The modern interface use NEWA API for this so it is possible you don't support it.

Good day...I have been using a Hauppauge Quad Tuner for some time now with no issues until today. IPTV channels are working fine as I can view and record. However, I cannot record nor view OTA channels. Using SD as my EPG source and only the OTA is not working in NPVR correctly. NPVR recognizes the quad tuner device and I have setup the tuner which indicates my local channels. Is there anything I can do? TIA...cheers!!

Hi sub, can the pretuning .exe for IPTV modify the URL in the database? Also you posted the URL for IPTV can be internet radio. If the guide is flagged radio does it matter what video codec is selected when adding the URL?

Finally I think I posted this before and couldn't find it If under the channels guide a station is set as Radio, would it be possible to filter out any video streams preferably at recording time or on streaming to Kodi.

Thanks.

Hi,

I was wondering if there's any support or other interest in supporting Locast as a source instead of a tuner.

While I live near NYC, there's no reception available in my cul de sac due to the geography.

Thanks guys,

I'm trying to use the scheduled recordings feature to record shows from my IPTV service to my PC. It automatically starts on time but, the recordings run for a minute or so and then fail every time. There's no error displayed. I looked at the logs and don't see anything obvious (to me, at least) that's causing the problem. I was recording to an external USB 3.0 hard drive. I switched over to the internal SSD but it didn't help. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I have NPVR setup to record our shows and we watch them back through Roku/Plex on our TVs. All signals received are well in the 90s...I think the lowest signal I get is 88. More often than not, when we watch through Plex there is an annoying amount of pixelation, and often times audio dropout during those moments as well. All shows are recorded to a USB drive but the same results are experienced when I record to an internal drive too.

If I play the recorded show back on the computer, it may momentarily stutter/pause in the same sections but overall the playback is smoother than when streaming to our Plex TVs. I am obviously getting getting interference from somewhere during recording and would like any ideas on how I can improve the signal/recording, if possible.

I don't watch live tv through NPVR but when I test it, it seems to play fine.

Thanks,

Recording conflicts have become so rare that we hardly ever look at the Conflicts screen. Would it be possible to add a notification message, icon, etc. on the Recordings and What's New screens that would alert us when a Conflict needs to be resolved?

OK, Martin. Here's another one of those oddities I'm seeing sometimes. (Note, this one happens much less frequently but has been happening for a while.)

Here are the logs.

At the end of the the kodi.log (in the Logs folder), I pressed the right arrow and then the pause button several times. It seems the button press is being passed to the NextPVR server because when I press the pause, the OSD comes up for a little bit. However, the player doesn't actually respond to the button press. So for the right arrow, the play doesn't skip forward. And for the pause, the video just keeps playing.

EDIT: I've also noticed that when this happens, commercial auto-skipping doesn't work. See 07:30:04 in this updated kodi.log.

My old DVR finally gave up the ghost, I think the board went south but it was a good excuse to get some much more power efficient hardware in place. My dilemma now is how to cut commercials from a bunch of movies that were recorded before I re-encode from TS over to MP4 files. I would like to have them cut and removed, so that when they are played in Plex there is no commercials at all. I have the most recent version of paid comskip, and I've tried videoredo but can't seem to figure it out. I've tried comclean but it doesn't seem to want to touch TS files or MP4's.

I'd like to do this in batch/automated mode so I don't have to manually pull commercials, etc. I've read that videoredo can use the comskip files, and it can call videoredo from the batch file. I just can't seem to figure it out and I'm hoping someone much smarter than myself has been through this before.

I'm fine running them through comskip again if needed. I'm even ok running them all through handbrake prior if needed.

Any help is appreciated so, thank you in advance!
