One of the TV shows that I have recorded for years has stopped recording successfully. I currently am only recording 2 shows, 1 on Monday (Bull), and another (Modern Family) on Wednesday.
On Monday, the computer wakes, and the show (Bull) records without issue. On Wednesday, the computer wakes at the proper time, but I can't tell that anything happens after that. I have a script that verifies the the NRecord service is running. The logs indicate that the computer wakes up, but then never records Modern Family. This has happened for every instance of Modern Family this season; the wake timers are set, the computer wakes up, but then nothing happens. Other shows appear to record without issue, even on the same channel.
Thanks in advance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Everyone hates commercials in the house and now want to record there shows, unless a sporting event no one watches live TV in the house. I have gotten my setup pretty perfect on a new server build running on an i3 8100, no more artifacts or anything (other than the random recording glitch yesterday). My concern now is HDD I/O limitations, at what rate does NextPVR record at?
Most often I have 2 tuners recording at the same time like to increase and usually everyone waits to watch until after the recording i finished, but on rare occurrences we have started watching the recording about 20 minutes into the recording (to skip commercials) and it hasn't caused any noticeable problems. What I want to know is am i looking at possible problems as demand increases if things are being record and watched at the same time, am i hammering my HDD?
Note the random glitch from yesterday was not caused by watching the recording while being recorded.
I know most people have pretty decent internet, but up here in Canada we typically have very poor upload speeds. That being said I just switched over to fiber and am now am extremely happy with my 300 mbit down and up.
So with the pile of excess bandwidth I am looking to steam the best possible quality over the internet. Is there any sittings that I can change within the program or on the config file to increase the quality and use more bandwidth.
My Server setup:
PVR device is a Hauppauge HD-PVR 2 ( http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/...dpvr2.html ) connects to my cable box through an HDMI cable. The computer is designated solely to the setup is a HP zbook G3
The Client is a Rasberry pi 3B+ with kodi installed running nextpvr and the other client is a decent computer also running kodi with nextpvr installed.
Please don't get me wrong I am very happy with the quality right now, but I am just checking to see if anyone has any ideas I have not thought of to creep up that quality. Thank you very much and I hope to chat soon.
Hi im trying to scan for new channels. as im have this error when selecting a free sat channel "unable to comucate with recording service" i have the same problem withmy had home run free view but i believe that another problem with home run software/ fire wall. back to frre sat, when i search for new channels it just says "starting device" for ages and goes no futher. i have had my sat dish moved and re aligned via a sat dish engineer and should be working fine. i have attched my logs
I had set a show to record live tv on CBS (KGAN, 9:57pm-10:03pm), I turned on the live tv feed of the show (and eventually tried to go into video > files, to watch the show), nextpvr status showed t the show appeared to continue recording, but unfortunately only a 1 minute 45 seconds recorded. I was not sure if this was a one time glitch or something else.
I purchased the android app for my android box and for the most part it works just fine. One thing that still isn't working is the playing of live IPTV channels by the client app. I can record these channels just fine using the server but if I try to play them live using the app I get the 'repeat every x seconds' problem. OTA channels from my SD Quattro play just fine on the app. I remember you had a problem with that on the server at one time and solved it. Any chance a solution will be provided for the android app?
One issue I'm hoping this will help other NPVR users.
Is there a way to inject a customized EPG data file into NPVR?
Often times EPG data downloaded ends up scrambling and assigning the shows to the wrong channel. So I end up clearing the EPG data constantly to fix it.
I think a better option might be to create your own EPG data and inject it manually and avoid using the EPG Auto Update and keeping it permanently disabled.
How would one create their own EPG data similar to the Zap2it TV style produces or one that NPVR understands?
Can NVPR support a ASCII text type of injection standard so it can be modified by the user before injection using Notepad or even EDIT.COM?
Since the EPG data also describes the name of the TV show I'd like to add the Channel Station Prefix manually in front of the TV show name so it's more clear of the source channel of the recording rather than just the TV show title and time marker.
Since I know what shows are statically occurring and never changing can NVPR prevent auto updates of specifics time slots from getting overwritten or replaced when using EPG Auto Update?
Examples are some Morning News which remains constant day to day the same hours so I don't see the need for EPG data to overwrite these time slots as sometimes it can't find the show and remains blank or mistakingly mixes up the channel lineup.
1) Purchased subscription.
2) Added lineup to Schedules Direct (USWest in my case)
3) Added channels to entries in Devices->HDHR DCR-2650/HDHR Prime
4) Listings populate properly when I update the EPG
4) When I try to watch tv, I get error message: Unable to find capture device.
The premium channels work fine on the HDHomerun Windows 10 App
