Hi Guys,

I've searched for my couple problems but I'm not finding them in past threads, so excuse me if this has been covered before.

When setting up the IPTV device if I come back and change a channel number after the intial setup it deletes the stream address. You can't edit anything but the channel number, so you have to delete it, which brings another problem...if I delete it and then add a new one it screws up the channel range used when you use the plus / minus keys or the remote channel up / down keys.

Next, if I enter a few channels and then exit the device setup and go over and setup the guide and stuff things work perfect, but if I come back to add more channels it will let me add them, the guide update works, etc.. HOWEVER, it also screws up the channel change range used by the plus / minus keys or via my remote again -> whatever channels were setup during the initial setup is all that it will cycle through, any channels later added are ignored.

i.e. if I add 10 channels initially, then come back and add another 10 then 20 channels show as setup, but when I try to change channels via plus/minus or channel up/down it will simply cycle through 1-10. If I would choose channel 15 in the guide it would go to it, but if I change channels it drops back down to channels in the initial 1-10.

If I had 10 setup and decided to change channel 5's number to 11 it would change the channel number to 11, but it wouldn't work because the stream address got deleted, PLUS the channel range would now be just 1-4.

So basically you have to set things up perfectly to start with. If you try to add or correct anything later it breaks the channel change.

Is there a way to make it recognize channels have been added?

Could we make it keep the stream address when changing the channel's number?

Thanks!

Hello everyone,
Seems no one is using an Android box for kodi I decided to get a PI. I have OSMC running but it does not come with the NextPVR loaded. I am trying to find out where and how to load and install NextPVR onto my OSMC PI.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Thank you,
Bruce

Hi Sub,

I've got a strange one at the moment -- finally got to doing some larger HD sweeps for OTR movies, and getting more conflicts -- which are okay as NPVR really tries to move things around beautifully in the background.

I am wondering if there is a problem as I keep getting errors like this:

[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]

when instead I can see in the log files (I really had to work hard to capture this, the rollover is killing me!) that the recording service is manically trying to allocate a tuner but can't!

The recording should have started at 250am, and due to rollover can only get bits & pieces after the fact (235, 250 and 310am).

Any suggestions? Is this a web display problem instead? Interestingly enough I don't see any "conflict" entries on the web UI, but a couple of failed recordings after the fact.

Thanks,
Dane

Hi All! Happy Holidays!

I am thrilled that the project is still alive and well! After several years of using WMC for recording protected content, we have decided to dump the cable company and move to streaming. I setup with Rokus and I have YouTube TV and Philo for the content we watch. It is great for the live TV and streaming content, but we like to record network TV shows and skip through commercials (like most good civilized people ) I have a HVR-2250 up and working with OTA channels and am ready to come home to GBPVR...I mean NextPVR! I have looked through the Wiki and searched a lot of the forum, but have some basic questions on the path forward. Seems like there are several possibilities.

My goal is to record OTA channels and get them in an ordered manner to a pile of Rokus. Having access to an EPG and the ability to schedule recordings from the Roku would be nice. But not totally required. Also would like to have the recordings in some kind of order by the title of the shows that we record. Finally, comskip would be nice, but not required.

So I see Emby, Plex and others. What plugins do I need? Feel free to point me at a post and I will move from there. What is a cleanest path forward.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

All my scheduled recordings are stopping some time between 30 seconds and 5 minutes after starting.
The bit that gets recorded is ok - right channel, right time. My PC never sleeps, so that's not it (fixed
*that* problem a while back). I read through the logs but didn't see anything in the parts that I could
understand. Help, please!

Win 10 Home 64-bit
Quick recording "Basic Black" started at 2018-12-21 19:29
Prematurely ended after ~45 seconds, should have recorded until ~20:30

Thanks,

-Eric

Good Day...Is there a way to re-arrange the channel groups to my liking? Even if I have to use another proggy to get this done that would be fine. Cheers!

Good day...Just received this unhandled exception error after installing TV Listings. Looked around the forum for a fix, found a couple but did not fix the issue. Any help please...Thanks and cheers!

As I found no clear guide on the web that tells you if & how the Elgato EyeTV Netstream 4C SAT>IP tuner works with PVR backends & Kodi frontend, I decided to share my findings here. Spoiler on the result: it works, mainly because of a factory reset.

Before I go into detail, a big THANK YOU! After quite a few experiments with other PVRs / clients, I ended up with NextPVR Server + Kodi Clients for my Elgato EyeTV Netstream SAT>IP tuners. Works great except for a few issues.

As Elgato EyeTV Netstream 4S and Netstream 4C both share the same issues with the SAT>IP tuner not being discoverable, I´ll share my experience with the 4C here. I could not make use of the tuner with any other software than the EyeTV app, or the bundled Terratec Home Cinema. But of course I want a decent PVR backend & nice frontend like Kodi, so I experimented with VLC, Kodi and Mediaportal - no chance to get the Netstream work.

The key to the solution was described in a few forums: a factory reset! ( Hint 1 / Hint 2 / How to factory reset Netstream 4C )

After Factory reset, the firmware is set back to a development version that supports SAT>IP. Now the Netstream can be found in my network, but published channels do not work, and it has no webinterface for tuning or creating an m3u. But I found a way to use all 4 tuners with an m3u I created with the AVM FRITZ!WLAN Repeater DVB-C. That device has an integrated DVB-C dual tuner with a web interface for tuning & exporting an m3u playlist. Simply changing the IP in the m3u to the IP of the Netstream let´s me use it in VLC and Kodi. Btw, here´s an m3u Example for Netstream 4S. I chose this workaround as I do not have a Mac with Elgato EyeTV Software to get the Channel Playlist m3u exported from there - this is another way to get to the m3u .

Btw, tuning the Netstream with the m3u was also not possible before the factory reset. Only after the reset, I could use the Netstream with VLC (m3u) & Kodi (IPTV Simple Client with the m3u)

Next was to integrate the Netstream in a PVR server:

• Mediaportal 2: no chance whatsoever due to lack of SAT>IP suport. The channel import based on the m3u with the IPTV tuner did not work, not matter what format / parameters the m3u contained.
  
• TVMosaic: found all 4 tuners and the 2 AVM tuners. But I was not able to tune with the Netstream (no channels found), and applying the channel profile from the AVM tuner did not work (no signal), even tough the AVM worked perfectly)
  
• NextPVR: the free solution the best: most easy to configure, and working almost perfectly! Both the AVM and the Netstream are found in "Devices" tab. The only issue is that scanning with the Netstream does not find any channels. Solution: scan all channels with the AVM tuner, and apply the settings to the Netstream tuners - NextPVR even automatically asks you to copy the channels when you want to configure each tuner! Voila, 6 tuners working perfectly!
  

• Why can´t the Netstream 4C find channels when scanning? After copying the the channel info from the AVM tuner it worked, but a full scan will not give a result
  
• A full scan found nothing on the Netstream 4C device, and on the AVM tuner it did not find the most important 5 channels on the very first freq (298000). But a manual scan on that freq found the 5 channels on BOTH tuners, so Netstream was able to find channels? :confused:
  
• When channels are working, after copying settings from the other SAT>IP tuner, the Netstream still pulls no EPG data?
  
• Will the Netstream 4C / 4S also work in NextPVR after a firmware update to the newest version?
  
• From my 1 NextPVR server with 6 (2+4) tuners, streaming to at least 3 devices simultaneously works. But I tried recording 5 shows at once, and only got 2 working recordings - the other 3 were empty 0byte files. Seems only 1 recording per tuning device (AVM / Netstream) works? I was hoping I can make 1 recording per tuner?
  

Just built a new Server and with just one IPTV channel playing my pc is at 100%. I have enclosed the logs.
Anybody with thoughts?
Thank you,
Bruce

Just built a new server and now it will not communicate with Kodi. Kodi says PVR manager is starting up then loading channels from PVR clients. It does this a few times then kodi kicks me out. I have tried the same IP address with the old server disconnected from the network as well as a new IP address. I have tried uninstalling kodi and then reinstalling kodi. I have tried turning off windows firewall as well. I am at a loss as to why this is happening.
Thank you for your time.
Bruce
