I've been experiencing a few cases of weird behavior with X-NEWA (running under Kodi on an RPi 3+) recently. Since Martin is working on X-NEWA a bit at the moment, I'm going to try to capture logs and post them. I did just upgrade to X-NEWA 2.5.4, but these problems were occurring with X-NEWA 2.5.3 before, so I don't believe that the change to 2.5.4 is related. I've been running the latest LibreElec betas, so I realize that might be part of the problem. Currently, I'm on LibreElec v 8.95.003.

One of the problems that happens somewhat frequently is that X-NEWA will just crash and Kodi will go back to the main menu. This happened just now at 06:42:30. I've uploaded logs here.

Let me know if you need anything else or want me to try anything.

I have seven tuners (all silicondust) , four of which can record off air and three that record off Comcast cable and yet every week I get this error on a channel that all seven tuners can capture. Does NPVR try a different tuner when it gets a failed lock or does it just give up when the first try fails?

I have uploaded a new version of x-newa to the repo to address a few issues

- Error logging certain characters in web client causing video player issues in all versions
- Updated web client skins for Classic and Confluence skins. Caused black screen in v18
- Minor error in text colour for status in native details popup in all versions
- Fixed Busy notification after v18 dialog change

If you have automatic updates enabled you should get it today.

This version should work on v17 and v18, not sure about earlier version.

If you don't use Confluence or Estuary skins for Kodi you will need to select Classic.

Hello,
I am a new user of NextPVR. I set up the software and it seems to be working well. The only issue I have is that the modern web interface does not ask for a password. I am looking to password protect the web gui. I changed the web password in the setting but the issue remains. I apologize if this has been answered. I googled for 30 minutes and was unable to find the answer. Advice appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi Sub,

I have a problem with scheduled recordings where the channel EPG changes and the show is no longer planned -- but the recording still is done taking up a tuner/time/space on the drive. Is there any logic to double-check that a scheduled recording is still in the EPG table?

Hmm -- the event numbers in scheduled -- some are not on the EPG list anymore -- like they were stuck from some corrupted DB data. Is there a *safe* way to delete the EPG and planned recordings, and restart the process without losing all of my lineups?

Thanks,
Dane

Hi
I have a Winfast DTV Capture Card running with Windows 10. For months now, I have had what appear to be either Signal Issues or Decoder Issues. Every now an again, I manage to get NEXTPVR running smoothly. It may be OK for a couple of weeks, but then, the prime culprit a "Windows Update " kicks in an kills my signal.
I have tried everything from Decoders, Decoders, and more Decoders. I have tried EPG updates, Channel Updates, I had a TECHO guy around and he checked out my signal and the end result was that everything seemed to be fine. In last couple of weeks, I have had nothing but signal issues again and I have run out of things to try to fix the problem.
My question is ...................... Would it be the TV Capture Card? That is the only thing that I have not been able to try and have avoided going and spending heaps of dollars in case it does not fix the issue. Do different TV cards have better signal receiving capabilities than others. I really enjoy NEXTPVR, when it is going OK, but lately it has been doing my head in trying to get it to receive the signals without the interference. I have tried LAV, Microsoft DTV-DVD, and ffdshow, Video and Audio Decoders, both as Video Decoders and Audio Decoders, as I have no idea which one is the problem.

If any one can shed any advice on this it would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks

Hi all. I'm looking for help for a fairly persistent looping issue I have when recording IPTV streams through NPVR. Basically, my IPTV provider streams are very consistent (and rarely loop) when watching LiveTV. However, when the same service is used to record those streams, I consistently experience a looping (repeating) of content throughout the recording. When it loops, it will return back 10-15 seconds and then play through the problem area. I followed the information contained in the thread here: https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...only/page5 and provided logs and sample recording. I am using the latest NPVRShared.dll here https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...post529004

Some of my specs:
- Intel NUC i5 w/ 500GB SATA3 SSD, 16GB RAM
- 50 GB/s Internet - With 3 simultaneous recordings and 1 LiveTV stream, I max out at less than 20 GB/s
- Motorola Surfboard modem support DOCSIS 3.0

Attached are the log files. At the time where the looping occurred, the FillBuffer was taking too long to refresh and the socket then disconnected and reconnected. Couple other anecdotes: Occasionally, when this recording repeats, I will notice that the leading number will grow to a number very large (e.g 17 hours) out of a 30 minute show - this didn't happen during the bad recording I'm referencing here. I have a sampling of the video uploaded here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/h7i9719ll...nk.ts/file.

Thanks guys. Great product. Looking to help make it even better.

Hi all,
I have a series of MP4 files and when I try and play them NPVR hangs and I have to kill it with task manager. I am aware that NPVR only handles TS files directly so I thought the files might be corrupt - but they play fine in VLC and WMP.
Logs attached, no dump file in C:\temp.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

My HDHomeRun Prime suffered an untimely death and had to be replaced. I just got the replacement setup, and all appears to work just fine. NPVR see's the new device and scans the channels, however, when I try to watch live TV from NPVR I get "Unable to find available capture device".

I don't see anything obvious. Any thoughts? I attached the logs.

Thanks
