Twice today I have NextPVR freeze when playing a recording.
That's with the <UseLegacyTSReader>true</UseLegacyTSReader>

Here is a sample of a few seconds : https://www.sendspace.com/file/fmec6f

If I change to <UseLegacyTSReader>false</UseLegacyTSReader>, the file plays fine.
I checked the full recordings and there is not glitches present in it.

Most of my recordings work fine and I don't have this problem.

But I sometimes record a movie and the music and sounds are present but not the voices (center channel?), except when the voice comes from left or right side (surround sound).

I am wondering if there is a setting somewhere to solve this problem.

I can try to find a log of a recording if it would help.

The last one that was like this seem to be in stereo only 2 channel so I am not sure how it could be a surround sound issue unless it is being downconverted somehow.

In Nrecord.log, I only saw this:

So I stop the recording service on the server then on the client.
Exit Ntray on the server and the client.
Install 4.2.3 but it complained about the not being able to write NPVRServiceControl.exe.

Cancel the installation. Tried again same problem. Went to uninstall 3.9.2, Install 4.2.3 same error. Now I am unable to install 4.2.3 and I can't locate uninstall.exe.

Reboot, install 4.2.3 and it finally succeeded.

I then installed 4.2.3 on the client, things when fine.
However, now on the client if I am playing a recording and hit ALT-Enter (or double click) to go to full screen, the playing stop and I am back to the recording menu. This doesn't happen on the server.

I also see some stuttering when playback begins or when skipping forward. So I wonder if I need to apply https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthrea...538#post528538

Also now on the client when I right click during playback I get and error about not being able to find 'P:\TV\CBC News Network'.

OK, It seems I am unable to load channels[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]. I have checked and rechecked my typing and am sure I am using the address provided. I seem to be getting the enclosed error message.
Can someone assist me in decoding the message I have received.
Thank you for you time.

Hi Guys, my HTPC is Win7 32 bit and I'd like to switch it over to 64 bit as my VPN provider only supports 64 bit in their app.

I have a 1TB drive with the operating system and recordings on it.

I'd like to separate the operating sytem and the storage drives out so future operating system upgrades are easier (Win7, though I love it, won't last for ever!).

120gb SSD drives are cheap these days...large enough? And from what I gather, SSDs don't like repetitive file saves, so moving the NPVR buffer directory to the storage drive would be a good idea?

Any downsides to using a SSD? I have a spare drive bay, so I'm not opposed to using a traditional HD either.

I'll probably look at increasing the storage drive size too while I'm at it.

I'd appreciate any and all input!

Thanks!

Hi Guys,

I'm playing with the Area-51 IPTV service. I'm running windows 7 Pro 64 bit and running NextPVR 4.2.3(181112). I have the SAF6, LAV, and FFDShow Decoders installed, and I'm using the Auto Refresh Plug In that was recommended with the SAF6 Decoder Package, the Auto Refresh Plug In version is 2.4.05.03. I'm using Mullvad VPN and their 64 bit app version 2018.6. I'm also using a hardline connection to the router. I have NextPVR up and running already with a HDHomerun Prime Cable Card and it's been running stabily for a long time, for the moment though I've deleted the HDHomerun channels so I can focus on the IPTV only (this isn't my only NextPVR machine, so it's not interrupting any viewing or recording...it's just a seldom used machine in a spare room).

I like to keep notes when working on projects so I thought I'd share them and hopefully save others wanting to do the same thing some time.

Hello all,

New to NextPVR so just trying to set it up correctly.

I have imported an M3U file from my IPTV provider however the grouping has not been loaded in, I only seem to have 1 grouping "IPTV Channels"

Here is an example of my m3u file
group-title="UK VIP HD/FHD"

Is there anyway the importer can read these and create the appropriate groups?

Would be appreciated, thanks

I have my recordings transfer to a separate drive than default directory. I am getting random folders with fanart etc. of shows not recorded.

I have never uploaded log files before so bear with me if this is the wrong file, but attached is the log for today's date. The activity happened on today.[ATTACH=CONFIG]46265[/ATTACH]

Hi Guys,

I'm playing with IPTV. Some of the channels play fine and some stutter on live tv. However, if it stutters during live tv I've noticed I can let it play a few seconds and then hit the rewind to start button and it'll play just fine. Recordings always play fine.

I tried changing video decoders, it didn't help.

Sooo, it seems it needs to pause and fill the buffer a bit more before starting to play. Is there a setting for that?

Ok, This has been happening several times. When I exit out of live tv and go back to the EPG I get a black screen. Everything freezes and I have to reboot the computer. It happened this morning around 730ish. I have enclosed the logs.
Hope someone can assist me.
Thank you,
Bruce
Happy Holidays
